Nobody’s saying your dipshit child doesn’t work hard. They’re saying he has access and opportunities few others do.
Is the only reason he’s in a position to be cast for roles that you’re his parent? Probably not. Is a reason he’s in a position to be cast for roles that you’re his parent? You’re stupid if you don’t think so.
Plenty of struggling actors have a good work ethic but don’t have powerful/successful mommies and daddies giving them a foot in the door, Meg.
It’s not dismissive to call him a nepo baby. It’s just a reflection of reality. It doesn’t make him a bad actor, it’s just acknowledging he’s privileged by being the son of two very famous actors. Besides, [puts on Jeff Foxworthy mustache] If the biggest hardship you face in your life is being called a “nepo baby” then you just might be a nepo baby
Hollywood is founded on and fueled by theft of innumerable kinds. This is still talking about celebrities, instead of actionable you’ve for lasting change. Next. 🤷🏼♂️
Bradward/Hewey is awesome on screen. Please don’t let him be a douche in real life!!
Fortunately, I haven’t seen anything that’d suggest he is. And being a nepo baby doesn’t suggest it in and of itself either. Meg’s just pissy because “the little people” are pointing out that her son had access and opportunities that 99.9% of us don’t. He had a leg up on everyone by the circumstances of his birth, it’s just silly to try and handwave it away and pretend he got there purely on merit… It is what it is.
To what end are we bringing it up though?
Is there a point, or is the only point to degrade the actor in some way?
I feel this is one of those situations where I can say ‘You aren’t wrong, but you’re an asshole’ if you are bringing it up without a greater reason.
I don’t think the dude would be ragged on for taking advantage of the opportunity afforded to him.
He seemed really cool in one of RedLetterMedia’s Plinketto episodes.
I’ll take your word for it. (I couldn’t stand more than a minute of that host.) Relieved!
He’s amazing on the comedy podcast Comedy Bang Bang.
Mummy thinks her son is a handsome boy.
Ahh yes the ol’ “Billionaires work 100,000 times harder then fast food employees” defense.
Unpopular opinion - sure, it’s fair to point out the privileges that offsprings of Hollywood elites enjoy, but let’s not pretend the term “nepo baby” is not a backhanded sound bite to demean this particular group and devalue them in some way.
Personally if I’m a Hollywood elite, I’d be less offended if my kid is called “privileged” rather than “nepo baby”, but people choose the latter for this exact reason.
It’s a sub-classification of privilege. “Privileged” could mean any number of things.
