May 30, 1971 — Zowie Bowie is born

The child of one of the most famous and creative rock stars of all time, Zowie Bowie was also saddled with one of the world’s most embarrassing names. Later on in his childhood, he would known as Joey, but this wasn’t really much of an improvement, and he eventually settled on Duncan as a first name, and Jones (his father’s actual surname – Bowie is a stage name only) as his last name.

Since then, Jones has gone on to direct the films “Moon” and “Source Code” – and his newest film, “Rogue Trooper” is due out in 2025. He’s not yet wholly emerged from his father’s shadow, but to be fair, his father’s shadow is a very, very large one.
