Larry David's Daughter Has Grown Up To Be Gorgeous

Curb Your Enthusiasm star Larry David and his now ex-wife, Laurie, welcomed daughter Cazzie David in 1994. And while growing up with famous parents can often be tricky for a child who harbors showbiz ambitions of her own, it's definitely been more of a blessing than a curse for the young actress and comedian. She shares the same values as her "eco warrior" mother, but it was her dad who had the biggest influence on her career path, schooling her in the ways of awkward comedy from a young age. Now in her mid-20s, she's starting to put that education to good use. 

Cazzie David came to the attention of the public in 2015 after sharing a picture of herself and her famous father touring a Civil War battlefield. "Someone randomly posted it to another Instagram account, and a bigger site reposted it," she told W magazine. "I got like 20,000 follower requests overnight. I was so panicked because I didn't know what I was doing. It was weird. But I just decided to go public. I was like, 'I'll take the followers and run.'" She's managed to build a significant following on the social media platform since, becoming one of the more likable rich kids of Instagram.

She later found herself in the news for all the wrong reasons in 2018, thrust into the limelight after her comedian ex-boyfriend hooked up with a pop star. But it turns out that there's more to Cazzie David than first world problems.

David graduated from Boston's Emerson College in 2015 and moved straight back into her dad's house, where she's been living ever since. In a February 2018 piece that she penned for InStyle, the comedian revealed that she chose to live with her father because he's dying, though fans of the comedy legend needn't be too worried. "Yep. He's dying," she wrote. "No, he is not sick—nor has he been diagnosed with anything. Not yet, anyway. But someday he will die, because everyone dies. So every moment with my father must be cherished. Yes, he's in great health and will, hopefully, be 130 when he passes away, but it doesn't matter."

She's a chip off the old block when it comes to her cringe-inducing style of comedy, which she apparently uses as a coping mechanism as much as anything else. Speaking to Glamour in 2017, the gorgeous comedian revealed that her father taught her how to channel her bad feelings into humor. "My dad told me at a super-young age that what I need to do to feel fulfilled and not sad and alone is to write comedy," she said. "Hopefully, he's right—or I'll really have been putting myself out there for no reason."

David's eight-episode web series Eighty-Sixed was dubbed a "Curb Your Enthusiasm for millennials" by The Atlantic, who praised the way it "delights in uncovering and ridiculing the subtle hypocrisies of social conventions." David wrote the material and starred as Remi, a girl trying to navigate the minefield that is social media while going through a devastating break up. For David, Eighty-Sixed wasn't just about the politics of Instagram (some of it was "inspired by real notifications," she told Complex), it was about doing something unique that spoke to her generation.

"I just really wanted to make something that felt original," she explained to Glamour. "Which is also kind of hard to do in this day and age because, like, everything feels kind of done." David decided to try and draw on her own experiences for inspiration, which was how she came up with the socially awkward Remi. "I felt like portraying a candid, hypersensitive young person interacting in this new digital world and failing at it felt new. I wanted to tap into a new sector of the millennial mind and show a genuine side to the realities they're facing."

David used to date fellow comic Pete Davidson, and, for a while, the Saturday Night Live man was completely smitten with her. "I just love her very, very much," he told People in May 2016. Davidson even had her face tattooed on his forearm, and — while she didn't go as far as getting inked — the feeling was quite clearly mutual for David. She would regularly post cute snaps of the couple together on Instagram, and, when she spoke to Oyster magazine in December 2016, she said that Davidson was one of three funniest people she knew. The other two were her friend Kyra Kennedy and her dad.

The fact that Pete Davidson was all loved up with Larry David's kid didn't go unnoticed by comedy fans, who saw this as a match made in heaven. Davidson, who lost his own father during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, apparently grew close to the Curb Your Enthusiasm star over the course of his two-year relationship with David, learning from him whenever he could. "He's the sweetest man in the world, he's the coolest," he said (via People). "We get along really well. I listen to everything he says very carefully because you want to retain it all."

In May 2018, Davidson revealed that he and David had gone their separate ways. The SNL man confirmed the split during an appearance on Open Late with Peter Rosenberg, but he failed to go into too much detail about the circumstances surrounding the breakup. We're not together anymore," he said. "Very talented girl, she'll be great and she'll be fine. ... Yeah, I think she'll be okay." Before the month was out Davidson was dating singer Ariana Grande (who had just ended her "toxic" relationship with rapper Mac Miller), and the pair were engaged a matter of weeks later.

According to NME, the two kept in touch after Grande appeared as a musical guest on a September 2014 episode of SNL, the same episode in which Davidson made his debut. After their respective relationships broke down, a whirlwind romance ensued. The pair now have matching tattoos (in fact, Davidson has three Grande tats at the time of this writing) and appear to be very much in love. "I feel like I won a contest," Davidson said when he confirmed the engagement on The Tonight Show.

David responded to the news that Davidson had moved on with Grande by posting a picture of herself on vacation with the caption, "Been in Africa, what'd I miss??" She either doesn't care, or she's doing a really good job of making it look like she doesn't care.

When she spoke to Oyster magazine in back in 2016, David revealed that she's very much a function-over-fashion type of girl. The budding actress admitted that she only makes the effort to change out of her PJs when it would be "too alarming not to," much preferring them over regular clothing. "I think the world needs to come together and make pyjamas the only clothes available," she joked. "Then, pyjamas would be normal clothes and normal clothes wouldn't exist anymore and we'd all be comfy all the time and I would really appreciate that, everyone."

She agreed to wear a "pouffy dress" for her Coveteur shoot, but this kind of clothing puts her well outside of her comfort zone. She went on a rant about inequality in the fashion world in an April 2018 piece she did for Vanity Fair, bemoaning the fact that female fashion trends are never as warm or comfortable as male ones. "Another new, cozy trend seen all over the men's runway is padded jackets," she wrote. "The padded jacket is literally the sleeping bag of jackets. 'Padded' is a word that I could only dream of being associated with women's fashion. The closest thing we have is an actual pad that's secretly stuffed in our underwear."
