Jamie Oliver says his young son will learn the trade like everyone else if he wants to follow in his footsteps and become a chef.
Buddy, 12, has yet to tell his parents about his future career ambitions but father-of-five Jamie knows he has the talent needed to go far.
However, if he wants to make it he will have to work - and Jamie says he won't be getting a leg up on the ladder just because of his name.
The youngster clearly knows what he is doing and aged ten filleted a mackerel with no help at all.
His proud dad would love him to rule the kitchen like he does but if he goes into the industry, there's not going to be an easy path.
"When I ran the restaurant Fifteen, where most of our young people were unemployed, from prison or troubled backgrounds," he told MailOnline.
'We put these kids in front of amazing farmers and artisans, fishermen and producers, that's what changes you and I'd definitely do that with Buddy, if he wanted to go down that route. He would earn his trade for sure."
He added: "It's not because he's a special kid, it's because kids are brilliant and when they repeat things a few times, they get good at it – whether it's cricket, boxing or gymnastic."
He says his talents are improving due to practice - and plenty of tips from his old man, of course.
Jamie and his wife Jools, 48, also share Poppy, 21, Daisy, 20, Petal, 14 and River, six.
But if his comments last year are anything to go by, things are about to change between himself and Buddy.
He opened up on his dad struggles and says he was swiftly cast aside the minute his kids turn into teenagers.
"I haven't done teenage boys yet but I found teenage girls very hard - I tried to be an on-point dad, I'd give myself nine out of ten for effort," he said when speaking to Mail Plus.
"Then the minute they get to 13, you're dumped. You're outside looking in.
"All you want is a few hugs a day and to be appreciated but there's a lot of chemistry going on - you never get the kid back after 13, they completely change."
Jamie then called the day the children head off to university 'a bereavement.'
He also said he believes his kid's lives were made more challenging by having a famous father.
