I like it. I see some good comedic potential.
I think the logline might need to reveal whether he actually is the son of the aforesaid legend as I immediately wonder about this (which is good), but the logline doesn’t tell me what it is. I think it could do with a more cogent and obvious goal too as carrying on a legacy is pretty vague. Maybe his “father” has a reputation he needs to restore? I assume (but your logline could make more pointed) that finding the missing father is also a goal?
Since you make a point of saying “he’s convinced”, I’m going to assume he isn’t the son of the legend, but the result is he blossoms and becomes a star in his own right. A coccoon-to-butterfly transformation. If that’s the case, I think it works as an effective logline. It’s under thirty words, and hits most of the elements. I think the concept might be original enough and certainly low-production enough, to draw interest. You might improve it slightly by adding “when” in the beginning. This forces you to include an obstacle and ratchet up the conflict.
Good job!
