Emily is following in her mother’s footsteps and she’s an actor, voice actor, and singer. She made her acting debut in 2022 in the feature film “Futura Days” and also worked as Scarlett Johannson’s voice double in ‘Ghost in the Shell.’ Emily McEnroe recently expressed her gratitude for sharing the screen space with Larry David and the late Richard Lewis on the TV sitcom ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm.’ But how tough it has been for the tennis legend to play the role of a father over the years?

‘How to be a good father’- John McEnroe

During an interview with Graham Bensinger, John McEnroe heaped praise on his parent’s role and admitted he was quite lucky to have such good parents in his childhood. But he added, “I’ve learned that, while my parents, I believe, were really good parents, that by far and away, for me, the toughest thing I’ve ever had to do was to try to figure out how to be a good father and a good parent. There’s nothing more satisfying, but more difficult.” Perhaps music has made it easier for him now.

However, Emily McEnroe was left disappointed last year after receiving an AI response during a ChatGPT inquiry. But why? She asked AI, “Who’s Emily McEnroe?” In reply, ChatGPT said that she had not gained much attention and had few accomplishments outside of her family name. This made the third child of John McEnroe pretty much sad at that time.
