Cotton took to Instagram to express her love for the show, but also spoke about the personal experience her husband has with the reality of being born to a rockstar in the 1970’s. Her husband, Jesse Wood, is the son of legendary musician Ronnie Wood of The Rolling Stone and model Krissy Findlay.
Cotton shares how her husband related to the show, and how the couple laughed at one scene in which the main character Billy Dunne’s baby joins a party. She said Jesse was ‘quite literally that baby in the 70’s’ as she shared pictures of her father and mother in law during the rock and roll era.

“His mum Krissy actually went into labour during a house party in Malibu in 1976.Ten years ago we went to LA with his dad @ronniewood and visited the very house where the aforementioned party had taken place. It was a powerful moment to see the room where Krissy had gone into labour accompanied by Ronnies description of who was at the party and where they were sat nearby.
“During the house party scene in Daisy Jones, @sukiwaterhouse starts singing Ooh la la which freaked us both out as Ronnie wrote and sung that very song. It was a serendipitous moment and quite moving for Jesse.
