What are your thoughts of Nepo babies in Hollywood?

[kitty71]

Do you believe they have it easier by having famous parents or the contrary is more difficult for them?

I mean we can all say that since their parents have great connections to the busines and are super popular and famous and very respectful people they get their kids inside like a piece of cake, maybe no auditions, a word here and there from the parents and the kid is alreayd inside the Hollywood business whether the kid i bad or good at acting, modeling or music and they sure had a leg up from their parents in less time than other non nepo babies who do have to struggle to get ahead in that difficult business.

Or for being a Nepo baby is more difficult for them as Hollywood won't give any benefit just becuse their parents are famous, popular and respectful so they have to work extra hard to get what they really want and by their own effort and sacrifice no help there from their parents.

Some actors/actresses whose parents are also movie stars, models or musicians, say for them it was not easier because they had to proof themselves they could do it without the help of their parents. Do you believe them?

I think it's way easier for them to get leading roles in movies because their parents are connected to everyone in the business. Then a lot of them change their last names and try to throw off the public from comparing them to their famous parents.

my parents also gave me a very very small loan of one million... to start my own business

[MendaciousMarxist]

you have to live under your parents shadow in a sense plus it's easier for the kid to just end up as a spoiled brat so it's harder in that sense.
