Robert Redford's Grandkids Honor Him with Never-Before-Seen Photos

The world knew Robert Redford as an Oscar-winning actor and director, but this week his grandchildren revealed a more intimate side of his life, sharing personal photos that captured their bond with him beyond the spotlight.

Robert Redford's family is remembering him not as the Hollywood icon known to millions, but as the man they called "Grandpa." Days after the legendary actor's death on September 16, 2025, his grandchildren honored him on social media by posting never-before-seen photographs from their private lives together.

Conor Schlosser, the 33-year-old son of Redford's eldest daughter, Shauna Redford, shared a carousel of personal moments with his grandfather on Instagram. The photos ranged from childhood memories to more recent family gatherings.

"He was larger than life to the world, but to his family, he was simply that...family. Rest in peace, Grandpa.🐎," Schlosser wrote in his caption. He also encouraged others to share their memories of the actor, adding, "If anyone has a favorite story of him you'd like to share, please send it to me in a private message—I'd love to collect them."

Among the snapshots was an image of a young Schlosser riding a brown horse alongside the "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" star. Another captured the two sitting together in a recliner, opening Christmas presents. Schlosser also posted more recent photos, including one of the pair at a dinner table and another with his arm wrapped around his grandfather.

Lena Redford, daughter of Robert's late son James Redford, also shared her tribute online. Posting a series of throwback photos with her grandfather, she captioned them simply with, "❤️."

Robert Redford died at the age of 89 at his Sundance home in Utah's mountains. His representative confirmed his passing, marking the end of a remarkable life as one of Hollywood's most influential actors, directors, and environmental advocates.
