His mother is a hellraising icon of fashion, music and film – and he’s inherited her striking looks. So, can you guess who he is?
His mother Grace Jones has been described as a triple threat: an acclaimed actress, singer and model who was also a muse to Andy Warhol.
Jones, who was known for her unique personality and distinctive looks, shares her model son with the French graphic designer and illustrator Jean-Paul Goude.
The pair met at Studio 54 in the late '70s and began working together.
Goude even directed one of her music videos and helped define her public image while appearing in multiple pieces of his work.
They welcomed their son in 1979 but soon separated in the '80s. Can you guess who he is?
The son of Grace Jones, who continued modeling into the early 200s, is pictured here.

In case you haven't guessed yet, the model is Paulo Goude.
Jones describes having a baby shower at the “Garage” nightclub in Manhattan prior to Paulo's birth in her 2016 memoir, “I'll Never Write My Memoirs.”
The shower, which was thrown by Debbie Harry of Blondie and Andy Warhol, was dubbed the first disco baby shower and Paulo “the first disco baby.”
Paulo, who many describe as having the same model look as his mother, grew up in New York and Paris.
He spent the last two years of high school in Britain, but soon returned to New York to pursue modeling. The young model had a lot of success and walked runway shows, but that all came to a halt in the early 2000s.

He co-founded a musical trio called Trybez, which describes itself as “an international hip-hop, soul” group and a “Latino group featuring three artists, each with distinctive cultures and talents.”
Once he realized that his modeling career was at odds, he began pursuing music.

Paulo later had a daughter named Athena with band member Azella Amigues. He has now returned to modeling and posts photos from shoots on Instagram.
While Paulo's modeling career ended in the early 2000s, his mother has dominated the entertainment industry since emerging as a model in New York City in 1968.
Born in Jamaica, Jones moved to upstate New York early in her life and was left in the care of her step-grandfather Peart, known as Mas P, who Jones described as a “ferocious disciplinarian.”

At the age of 18, she started modeling at Wilhelmina and worked with designers such as Yves Saint Laurent in Paris and photographers such as Helmut Newton, Guy Bourdin and Hans Feurer.
She also had a successful singing career in the late '70s, which led her to Studio 54, where she would become the patron saint of disco music and style.
As a teenager, she lived as a nudist for a month, taking mind-altering acid trips and working as a go-go dancer with a whip.

Ten years later, she cemented her place as a Bond girl after starring alongside Roger Moore in A View to a Kill.
She released three disco albums: Portfolio (1977), Fame (1978) and Muse (1979) and generated dance singles such as Sorry That's The Trouble, I Need A Man and a classic cover of La Vie En Rose.
Later, in the 1980s, she collaborated with Trevor Horn for the conceptual musical collage Slave to the Rhythm (1985) and with Nile Rodgers for Inside Story (1986).

Although her career hasn't always been smooth sailing, she has been involved in her fair share of controversies and tumultuous relationships.
She was once seen on live television slapping British talk show host Russell Harty for paying more attention to another guest.
Another time, she was locked out of a Grammy afterparty and left the building screaming.
Her relationship with Dolph Lundgren, the Swedish security guard she transformed into a big-screen hunk, ended after she showed up in his Los Angeles hotel room brandishing a gun.
Jones' marriage to a Turkish man in the 1990s ended after he held two butcher knives to her throat during a fight. The couple never divorced because she lost track of him.
But one of her most shocking controversies in the US was when she was photographed by Goude for his 1981 book, 'Jungle Fever', which also included his most famous (and infamous) portraits of the model.
The book's cover showed Jones in a cage, naked and baring his teeth like a “tigress.”
But that was enough to cause a scandal when observers began to question the racial undertones of the images.
Despite the controversy, Goude said in a 1979 People magazine article, “Men find her sexy. Women think she's a bit masculine, so they're not jealous. Gay people think she's a drag queen. She is the manifestation of all my fantasies. She is the face of the '80s.'

Lately, Jones has focused solely on music. In 2008 she made a comeback with the album 'Hurricane' with the songs 'Williams' Blood' and 'Corporate Cannibal'.
In 2018, she was awarded the Order of Jamaica and recognized for her 'exceptional contribution to the international entertainment field'.
As she accepted the award, she said, “I'm excited. It's a great honour. I love Jamaica so much, which makes it even better…. This award is very special.'
Her vocals were last heard on Beyoncé's seventh studio album Renaissance for the song 'Muse'.
