Colin Hanks was one of my favourite nepo babies until that kerchief business.

Lord, did he do that?

Hanks said that talent ultimately determines how far you’ll go

I mean... Chet kinda is proof of concept for this tbh

I agree with you but I also know that a known family name will generate more interest in you as a candidate than Joe Schmo. Plus there’s always that curiosity why someone chooses to not work for their family. I can see how name alone lands people opportunities.

There recently was a nepo baby thread here on ONTD where like a hundred members confessed how they themselves benefited from nepotism. Mostly along the lines of “my dad knew somebody and they got me a job”. People are really acting new but the truth is that tons of people in all walks of life get a leg up from their parents relatives family friends and that’s how it’s always been. And I say this RESENTFULLY lol because I grew up poor, my parents didn’t know anybody and everything I got today I earned (eta: through effort, leveraging the privileges I DID have and luck. But nepotism was never one of those privileges). Idk the nepo baby conversation is both legit and totally tone deaf at the same time.
