Stylish director Guy Ritchie featured his son, Rocco Ritchie, in Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011). Rocco, who is the son of Guy Ritchie and Madonna, had a minor appearance in the movie but still fitted in well with its dark Victorian setting. In that way, Ritchie includes personal relationships with the film. This cameo allowed Rocco to be part of the filmmaking world under his father's guidance, thereby giving a rare glimpse into how creativity and family often intersect in the director's dynamic storytelling.
