Max Landis, full-stop worst case of nepotism

[zazie_toujours]

Ding ding ding

yes, came to say this

[zoaster_toaster]

Lol I just commented with the same answer

I wouldn’t say the children of Goldie and Kurt are now becoming stars. That’s about 15 years late.

[evett]

maybe they mean Wyatt Russell

[professor_chaos]

I have seen Wyatt in a few things lately and I never knew he was their child. Now that I do all I can see is Kurt now

He's so good in Lodge 49, love that series.

I thought Maya's acting in Stranger Things was good and I really enjoyed her, so I definitely think she's not exactly the same as some other nepotism kids who have no talent or charisma at all and still get roles (looking at Clint Eastwood's son).

That being said, yeah... I mean, her mom was totally Quentin's type, right? I can see how that might have influenced his decision for her. But that being said, while it's of course not totally fair, I think if the child of a famous person proves that they have talent, then I don't mind them being successful. It's only annoying when they constantly act like their relations (and the very privileged lifestyle that came with them) was irrelevant.

Nepotism is a tale as old as time. Douglas Fairbanks Jr and downwards.

But that said, Lena Dunham.

[noxonesxlooking]

The entire cast of girls tbh

YES.

[marthasback]

QT probably cast her to make up for almost killing her mother on the set of Kill Bill

[misato]
