But I think about it as, historically, people go into the family business more than they don’t.”

this is true and its also bullshit when those people act like they didnt get a leg up compared to someone who chose a different career path from their parents!

I still remember to this day when I found out who her dad was lol

I hate the "family business" talking point they all passed around and clearly think it's so clever.

why can't any of these nepo babies just say "yeah, my parents being rich and/or famous gave me a leg up that most people don't have, which i'm grateful for. now about this film i'm promoting..." and leave it.

Jack Quaid just did this and it made me respect him more.

i just read the other post! i liked his answer a lot.

he seems sweet and meg ryan is an icon. his dad... was in the parent trap and that's about all i can say.

Zoe Kravitz and Jane Fonda have always given good answers about being nepo babies.

Though not a nepo baby, Edward Norton has always admitted to being from a wealthy family made it a lot easier to pursue a career in the arts.

I don’t think she’s very talented at all.

[rainbows_are_ok]

It's crazy to me that they started casting her in a bunch of comedies at one point. She is not funny and has negative charisma.

i agree but tbf she has mostly played the "straight man" character

[rihaty]

I don’t totally get her appeal, but I really love Celeste and Jesse Forever and watch it once a year. Otherwise, she is just kind of the straight man in everything and nothing special. She is quite beautiful though.

Also Andy Samberg’s dramatic chops in Celeste are really underrated IMO
