Billie Lourd is "definitely different" from her late mother Carrie Fisher

She told People magazine: "I'd say definitely the comedy is in the genetics. They were better at it than me. I can do a fair bit of tap dancing, not as good as ... young Debbie Reynolds, but that's also in the genes, although my mom kind of sucked at tap dancing.

"I'm a very distinct personality, definitely different from both of them.

"Well, it's something you learn through generations. I think I've learned to balance my life and my work in a different way than they were able to do, and that was also a product of the times."

Billie can "definitely" see signs her and husband Austen Rydell's two children, Kingston, four, and two-year-old Jackson, may want to follow in her footsteps but she insisted she wouldn't be putting any pressure on them.

She said: "But I don't want to put pressure on them to do anything [in show business]. But yeah, my kids are hysterical and cool and really good dancers and just awesome.

"We've all wanted someone to be a doctor in this family. Let's hope we get a doctor out of them. Whatever they want to do, I'll support."

For now, the 32-year-old star is just proud of her children's small accomplishments and she loves seeing them master new skills.

She said: "My son just learned to ride a bike without training wheels, and he's four years old. And just watching him learn new things is the most magical, crazy thing.

"I didn't learn to ride a bike till I was nine years old. I don't know, maybe blame my parents, maybe blame something, I don't know.

"But he is just so good at everything he tries to do and just watching him try new things and succeed at them and feeling proud of himself, is just such a beautiful thing."
