Family and personal life

Hopper was born as Henry Lee Hopper on September 11, 1990, in Los Angeles, California. His mother, Katherine LaNasa, was the fourth wife of his late father Dennis Hopper (May 17, 1936 – May 29, 2010). Hopper has three half sisters: Marin Hopper (born 1962), the daughter of Dennis Hopper and Brooke Hayward; Ruthanna Hopper (born circa 1974), the daughter of Dennis Hopper and Daria Halprin; and Galen Grier Hopper (born 2003), the daughter of Dennis Hopper and Victoria Duffy.

Hopper is also the uncle to Marin Hopper's daughter Violet Goldstone and Ruthanna Hopper's daughter Ella Brill.[1]

Aged fourteen, Hopper started taking weekend acting classes at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute.[2] He later studied painting and sculpture at the California Institute of the Arts, but dropped it at the age of eighteen and went to Berlin, Germany, where he was living in an artist's collective.[3] Hopper currently resides in Venice, California.

Hopper made his acting debut in 1996 film Kiss & Tell by Jordan Alan, starring Richmond Arquette, Lewis Arquette, Peter Greene and Jill Hennessy. He portrayed three different small characters.
