Patti Newton<\/a> is a proud grandma! <\/p>\n

Her grandson Monty<\/a> is following in his famous grandfather\u2019s footsteps and starting his own career in the entertainment industry. <\/p>\n

The 10-year-old has just landed his first big TV commercial, his mother Lauren<\/a> shared on Instagram over the weekend. <\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first gig Monty has landed either \u2014 last year he starred in another commercial with his younger brother Alby<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Patti, who spent years in front of the camera alongside her late husband Bert, is said to be \u201cimmensely proud\u201d of Monty. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe is such a natural in front of the camera and has that same warmth and charisma that came so naturally to Bert<\/a>. She can see little glimpses of her late husband in Monty, particularly in the way he lights up when he is performing, and that makes this all the more special for her,\u201d a close friend of the family told Woman\u2019s Day. <\/p>\n

In fact, the 81-year-old has really embraced her new role as a \u201cstage granny\u201d. <\/p>\n

\u201cMonty often practises his lines in front of Patti and she absolutely loves being a bit of a stage granny,\u201d our insider spills. <\/p>\n

\u201cShe is always encouraging him, giving him little pointers and, of course, cheering him on from the sidelines. He is still only little, but Patti genuinely believes there are big things ahead for him and she is so excited to watch his confidence grow.\u201d <\/p>\n

Patti is particularly enjoying witnessing Monty follow in Bert\u2019s footsteps. <\/p>\n

\u201cBert loved performing and had such a passion for television and entertaining people, so Patti knows he would have been absolutely thrilled to see his grandson discovering that same joy,\u201d our insider explains. <\/p>\n

\u201cShe often thinks about how proud Bert would be, watching Monty land such a wonderful opportunity and begin making his own mark. For Patti, it is incredibly special to see that love of performing being passed down to another generation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last year, Lauren revealed on Instagram that Monty and Alby were starring in a TV commercial, four years after their famous grandfather passed away. <\/p>\n

\u201cCongratulations to brothers Monty and Alby who spent the day together on set filming an exciting commercial,\u201d she wrote in a joint post with Melbourne talent agency Centrestage Agency. <\/p>\n

The comment section was flooded with messages congratulating the boys on their first big gig.<\/p>\n

\u201cCongratulations Monty and Alby well done can\u2019t wait to see it,\u201d commented one person.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuch cute boys. Congratulations on the exciting commercial shoot. Can\u2019t wait to see it,\u201d said someone else.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese adorable boys ooze talent & a successful future awaits them in the entertainment industry, it\u2019s in their genes. Congratulations Monty & Alby,\u201d added a third.<\/p>\n

Earlier that year, she shared a photo of Monty and his grandmother\u00a0Patti<\/a>\u00a0appearing on\u00a0The Morning Show.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is so special and incredibly talented,\u201d Lauren wrote on Instagram at the time. \u201cI love that he is so calm and happy even when his little brother is trying to eat his hair on live TV.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cPoppy always predicted big things for Monty and he was absolutely right,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
