Early Life And Family Drama
As per TheFamousPeople, Langston's birthdate is on December 14, 1987. However, some other sites claim he was born in February 1988. Langston Fishburne is Laurence Fishburne's son with his first wife, Hajna O. Moss. Growing up with an actor father and casting assistant mother, it was only natural for Langston to be drawn towards an acting career.
Unfortunately, the Fishburne couple called it quits after seven years into their marriage. After their divorce, Langston stayed with his mom and attended a school in New York. He later attended Boston University and trained in ballet. Furthermore, Langston started as a classical ballet dancer and was also an assistant dance coach on MTV's "Made" until he decided to pursue acting. He likely got dancing genes from his mom, who was also a dancer when she was young.
Langston Fishburne's father remarried actress Gina Torres on September 22, 2002. According to her IMDb, Torres has appeared in numerous roles over the years, including Suits and its spinoff Pearson, Westworld, and 9-1-1:Lone Star. The new couple welcomed a daughter Delilah Fishburne in 2007. Unfortunately, their marriage couldn't have the desired happy ending, and they divorced after 15 years together in 2017.

Langston Fishburne Net Worth And Career
When your father is a multi-millionaire, many tend to live their life off of their dad's accumulated wealth. But it isn't everyone's life pursuit; some prefer to make their name and living, regardless of the advantages they have got. Laurence Fishburne's son, Langston, is one of that kind. Despite being born into a well-off family where he could have settled for an easy and hustle-free life, he chose differently. Instead, he decided to follow in his father's footsteps and is now an established actor with 24 acting credits, according to his IMDb profile.
In an interview with 519 Magazine, Langston reminisced about the first time he was acting in the movie "Have a Little Faith," where he was nervous about lines but somehow pulled through. Langston is also mainly known for his portrayal of Young Bill in Ant-Man and the Wasp, a younger version of his dad Laurence's character. It must be a meaningful role for the actor to work side by side with his old man, who has been his major influence in choosing a career path. He shared he felt like a grown-up working alongside his dad, which is also what got him hooked on acting.
Langston's Instagram is sparse, and unlike many others from the entertainment sector, he keeps a very low profile. However, at times, he shares his love for ballet through his Instagram posts. He hasn't let go of his interest in ballet even after pursuing a full-time acting career.
The actor has been a part of many projects, along with some major projects like Marvel. Understandably, he has earned a significant amount of money from his work. Also, an American actor makes $59,852 a year, on average, so Langston must also be earning a significant salary. Though there has been no trustworthy information regarding Langston Fishburne's net worth, we can have a vague idea about his earnings from the number of projects he has been a part of. On the other hand, Langston's dad has a fortune worth $30 million.
Nevertheless, Fishburne seems to be living a comfortable life and is happy with his work and the fair pay he gets per project. We wish to see more of Mr. Langston and his work in the coming days. As per his IMDb, he has two upcoming releases, one is a short comedy called Stalled, and another is a TV movie called Haruto.
Who Is He Dating?
In this era of technology where sharing and knowing things is just one click away, it still astounds many to see how celebrities, who are constantly being pried, manage to keep their love life secret. Langston, too is very private when it comes to his personal life. A man of such talent and charm shouldn't have any problem wooing the ladies, though.
Regardless, anything is yet to be revealed regarding Langston Fishburne's girlfriend. He has always kept his lips tight when talking about personal matters. But if the actor prefers to keep his love life only to himself, then we respect his choice. We wish him a happy and prosperous future ahead.
From all the work Langston has done since his industry debut in the early 2010s, he has been diligent and has been keeping up the hard work to this day. He got nominated for an Outstanding Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in 2018 for his work in the movie Ant-Man and the Wasp. On the other hand, his dad, Laurence, has taken home some of the most enviable accolades, like three Emmy awards and one Tony Award, and has been in the entertainment industry for the past 50 years.
There's no comparing what a father has achieved to his son. But being the child of such an impactful actor must be demanding for Langston to live up to his father's name.
