French actress Marion Cotillard, famous for her death scene in The Dark Knight Rises and also an Oscar winner, is promoting her new movie Astérix et Obélix: L'Empire du Milieu, directed by her partner Guillaume Canet, who also plays the titular Astérix. She plays Cleopatra.
Marion was asked about the New York Magazine cover about nepo babies and gave the usual answer saying that if you have talent you can build a career and if you don't have it, your career will end quickly. She says there was talented people on that cover and that it was disrespectful to hardworking people.
Marion single outs Lily-Rose Depp, who was in that cover, and says Lily is an absolutely extraordinary actress who wouldn't be making movies if she wasn't talented. Marion also thinks Lily will do great things in the future. (Disclaimer: the news are in French and I used automatic translators)

Marion also mentioned in another interview that her kids (Marcel and Louise are 11 and 5 years old respectively) told her that she wasn't good in "dad's movie" (the Astérix et Obélix film), but it was just because they didn't like her kissing Vincent Cassel, who plays Julius Caesar.
