William H. Macy Stuns Fans with Rare Red Carpet Outing with Daughter Georgia

Actor William H. Macy made a rare public appearance with his youngest daughter, Georgia Grace, at the New York premiere of his new film, The Running Man, on Sunday, November 9, 2025. The 75-year-old Shameless star appeared in high spirits as he walked the red carpet with his 23-year-old daughter, whom he shares with wife Felicity Huffman. The event, held at AMC Lincoln Square, marked one of Macy’s few red carpet outings with his family in recent years.

Main Event Details

The Oscar-nominated actor attended the premiere for his upcoming thriller The Running Man, where he portrays Molie Jernigan alongside co-stars Glen Powell, Lee Pace, and Josh Brolin. Macy opted for a classic black suit paired with a crisp white shirt, while Georgia complemented him in a sleek black dress and pearl necklace.

The father-daughter duo posed hand-in-hand for photographers and later attended the post-premiere reception at Lincoln Ristorante, celebrating the film’s upcoming theatrical release on Friday, November 14, 2025.

Quotes & Reactions

Speaking to PEOPLE on the red carpet, Macy expressed deep admiration for his daughters, saying:

“So I have two daughters, Sophia and Georgia, and I’m so proud of these women. They’re such fine women. I don’t know how that happened; I credit Felicity, their mom.”

He also praised Georgia’s academic achievements:

“She’s pre-law. She’s been taking the LSATs and killing it. She’s extraordinary.”

Macy further reflected on his 28-year marriage to Felicity Huffman, adding:

“I’ve never had to work at it. I’m crazy for her. She’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”

Impact and Family Background

The appearance highlighted Macy’s close-knit family dynamic following years of maintaining a low public profile. His older daughter, Sophia Grace, 25, has already followed in her parents’ footsteps, making her acting debut in Jordan Peele’s The Twilight Zone in 2020.

Meanwhile, Georgia, a Vassar College graduate, has focused on political science and pre-law studies, signaling her intent to pursue a career outside of Hollywood. The family’s public unity at The Running Man premiere also comes after Macy’s recent film Train Dreams debuted at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival in September.

What’s Next

The Running Man, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Alex Garland, will open in theaters nationwide on November 14, 2025. Macy’s performance as Molie Jernigan has already drawn early praise from critics for its emotional depth and veteran precision.

Fans can expect Macy to continue promoting the project throughout November, marking one of his most active public schedules in recent years.
