Elle King might have made her own name in the entertainment industry as a talented singer and successful songwriter, but she also happens to be the daughter of former model London King. On top of that, ABC News pointed out that Elle's father is none other than "former Saturday Night Live cast member, comedian, and actor Rob Schneider." Yes, her dad is the dude from 1999's Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, in which he played a man willing to go on wild dates in order to raise much-needed funds, and 2001's The Animal, which saw him acting like various beastly creatures.
If you're wondering why Elle, whose full name is Tanner Elle Schneider, uses her mom's last name and not her dad's (which is perhaps more recognizable due to his higher profile), she explained to ABC News that, "I wanted to be myself. I am my own person." She continued, "It's not that I wanted to be a famous person. I wanted to be a performer. But I worked really hard and I did everything myself and I took a name that ... is my mother's name ... I took that name because I wanted to be myself."
Although Elle doesn't deny that some people have made the connection between herself and her father, she asserted that, despite the realization of who her dad is, she says, "I think that my voice and my music speaks for itself: that I am my own person."
