Now we just can’t un-see the familiar charisma in Steven that we know well from his late grandfather.
Steven takes his legacy very seriously
In an interview with NZHerald, Steven revealed what it felt like knowing that his grandfather was a Hollywood legend. But it didn’t inspire him to become an actor, he was actually quite afraid of trying to live up to McQueen’s standards:
Knowing that my grandad was a highly respected actor wasn't necessarily intimidating, but it definitely meant there was always a pressure to live up to his reputation. I think that's why acting wasn't something I even considered doing, as a kid.
However, his acting genes took over, and Steven started his own career. Most of all, he hopes to make a name for himself and not be compared to his celeb relative:
There's definitely a level of pressure because of it, but it's the name I was born with so I figured I may as well stick with it. Anyway, I'm quite a competitive person, so it pushes me to not only live up to any expectations, but to climb out of the shadow and cut a path of my own.

We wish Steven good luck in his career and hope to see more of him!
