I can always only think of how much it must suck to be the OLDER sibling of someone successful in the same industry you're interested in. I'm thinking of like the families where the parents obviously tried to push all the kids into show biz and the younger one found success and the older one wasn't able to until they could leech off of the the younger one's success... I mean it doesn't even have to be about talent, just luck who got discovered first. I'm not going to pity anyone who gets to be rich and famous ANYWAY but as an older sibling I just feel it in my heart lol there must be some awful moments.

I can't think of a specific nepotism celeb who's my favorite but I don't mind the ones that are low key and you don't really think about the fact that they had it on easy street. I hate anyone who does interviews acting like they totally auditioned and got jobs on their own talent, don't ever say that prove your talent with your body of work.

On the opposite side of that, I kinda wonder how hard it must be in the case of kids who were pushed into it, whilst their siblings got to have a 'normal' life. (Like MK&A - Elizabeth got to go into acting when she was older)

your first sentence made me think of timothee and pauline chalasibs

[rosytintedflash]

yeah although their parents didn't push them to be actors. their parents were pissed at timothee for dropping out of columbia as they should have been.

[sh0ckeye]

but didn't he also use their stage connections to get in the industry or am I thinking of someone else

[rosytintedflash]

people have said that bc he has an uncle in the business but I have no idea. his la guardia drama teacher loved him and has connections so I wouldn't be surprised if he got a good agent from him.

I wonder how Luke Hemsworth feels about having two younger brothers more famous than him.

Isn't it a plot point in that D'Amelio tiktok sisters reality show

[coquettishkat]

yes, that makes me think of cara delevinge and her sister poppy

[glitterslugs]

that's even worse imo cause modelling is appearance based so you'd feel extra shit

Very random but I always think about this when it comes to Momo and her sister Hana from kpop gg Twice. Where they both auditioned to be kpop stars at the same time and only Momo made it. Hana's a dance instructor/choreographer so she's still doing what she loves but I know that has to hurt seeing your younger sister live out your dream basically.
