Setting aside the fact that Hollywood is all about being related to somebody famous and/or knowing the right people, what nepo baby actors do you consider the best in the business? They don't necessarily have to be A-listers, but actors who have legitimate talent and earned their success. Pic unrelated.
Nepo babies
nic cage
Ben Stiller probably
Harley quinn smith is so much sexier than her
Hollywood nepo babies are probably better than average actors but that's only because everyone else gets in by sucking dick
I want to fuck her ONLY in the ass
These days I've enjoyed the works of Wyatt Russel, Jack Quaid, and Lewis Pullman.
I think the vast majority of the population has no idea that people Robert Downey Jr, Jeff Bridges or Kiefer Sutherland were once considered just “jrs”
The invention of this nepo baby shit is wild, acting ability is subjective, name recognition isn’t. And it has been happening since the vaudeville days
I don't disagree, but up until very recently you had to earn your way up. There were tons of no talent "my dad is x" that never went anywhere. Today Johnny Depps kid gets the starring role in a major HBO production just because
pretty sure you wouldn't have a problem with that if you asked nicely
what nepo baby actors do you consider the best in the business?
the entire Huston family
but up until very recently you had to earn your way up
No you really didn't zoomie
People making fun of actors for their nepo baby status and said actors embracing the meme is a fairly new development though. It wasn't a talking point before because pre-smartphone/social media most people didn't care enough to look up a new actors' parentage
Sosie Bacon has earned her success, and is a very talented actress in her own right after starring in Smile (2022).
hey its maskless Robocop again
I prefer Ever Anderson
it's probably this. stiller is goated as a talent. evberybody know his on camera stuff but as a writer/director he's actually really really good
No, she has to ask me
i don't remember where but i saw an article or interview were Jack Quaid said something along the lines of fully accepting it and not wanting to be defined by it.
It's sad that he gave up on directing after Zoolander 2 bombed. I have the feeling he didn't want to revisit that character and was forced to do so
And there’s tons of examples, like, Jon Voight today is just considered “Angelina’s dad” even though he had a legendary career
Again, this nepo baby shit is just millenials drinking the socialist kool aid too much
No you really didn't zoomie
Not a zoomer, faggot. But Robert Downey Jr and Keifer Sutherland weren't just handed roles in Hollywood you dumb faggot. RDJ was a fucking busboy in restaurants while trying to audition during the day for parts.
he directed episodes of Severance
Stiller is directing Severence (hes also the EP)
She probably would have done OK even without famous parents just because of how good looking she is. A rare case of a celebrity kid actually look as good as their famous parents.
Jeff Bridges got his first oscar nomination during his first year as an adult actor, before that, he just made cameos alongside his dad
Again, this nepo baby shit is just millenials drinking the socialist kool aid too much
Agreed.
From 20 years ago, I loved Kiefer Sutherland the most for 24. Now, Dakota Johnson is my favorite. She's an underrated actress, good in her zone which is small scale indies, not terrible like film twitter asserts out of nepohatred or jealousy. Beyond that, I enjoy listening to her sometimes unhinged or amusing and relaxing interviews in her soft voice and looking at her blue-grey eyes.
Jennifer Jason Leigh. Parents were Hollywood royalty and Jews owed her one for decapitating her father. But actually has an insane amount of screen presence and 100% deserves her career success. Can hold her own even against the most impressive male actors.
I clearly remember in the 90”s every piece regarding a movie starring Drew Barrymore had to remind you she was part of an acting royalty that spanned centuries. This is nothing new
milk.
dud.
nipples.
Dakota Johnson is my favorite. She's an underrated actress, good in her zone which is small scale indies
What's her best work? I know her big break was Fifty Shades of Grey and I don't wanna watch those
I like Ever Anderson
She was great in Peanut Butter Falcon.
Why are midwits so impressed by Ben Still and JJ Abrams? You guys really do deserve it.
She has a really weird shaped head and a brutal hairline.
Ahhh, she's Kevin Bacon's daughter? I was wondering how a woman so completely plain looking snagged the lead in a horror movie.
I think Stiller is the first example that comes to mind to millennials where he totally eclipsed his dad, we grew up being told his dad was supposed to be famous and he was just being given an opportunity due to it, but he was just “Ben’s dad” to us
So, exactly like Vanessa Paradis
As a kid I grew up wondering why Anjelica Huston was so well regarded even when she was ugly as fuck
Then as I grew more knowledgeable about cinema I finally understood why
escape at dannemorra too. same photographer from severance and you can really tell
Today Johnny Depps kid gets the starring role in a major HBO production just because
Because she's a draw just on her own, back when she was underage Anon Babble was obsessed with her. She was famous before she ever even started acting, tons of paparazzi snagging photos of her because she was such good jail bait.
hate her if you want but she is way better than her mom ever was in anything
The guy who plays US Agent
She is pint sized
Imagine if Suri Cruise decided to act. She can genuinely put butts in the seats for an MCU-level blockbuster just by her paparazzi career alone
Shame she is starting to look like Tom
Can't believe anyone would still simp for this bitch after she let Pete Davidson fuck her.
Cute in a downsy way. Like d*sha
Don't you guys kinda find it weird that we're sort of expected to idolize these rich kids cause they were born rich? Anyone else?
Stiller directed Tropic Thunder and I respect him for using his sway to be in stuff he likes like Walter Mitty or even that Jack Johnson video from decades ago
Like, they have all the time in the world to perfect their craft, while everyone else needs to get a job and juggle so many things with barely any time to do both? It's unrealistic. Glass ceiling everywhere.
the idol
a major hbo production
Because she is ALSO hot. See her best friend, Kevin Smith's daughter. Didn't work. Nepotism is a bit stronger than it used to be, but mainly because so much of casting now is unironically based around social media numbers. Generally you still have to have a "little" something to get ahead. Like Gracie Abrams. Another factor is simply money. Sydney Sweeney complained about actresses like Maya Hawke saying they wouldn't debase themselves doing underwear ads, and Sweeney pointed out that was easy to say when you never have to worry about paying rent between jobs.
Which is why we shame and ridicule them for minor things.
Once and for all, do they count as Nepo Babies or not?
They're keeping nasty, dark secrets. I think a bit more is necessary than nit picking their minor flaws.
You misunderstand, they are shamed for both, but where as normal people can get a pass or have their minor mistakes forgotten, these celebs have theirs saved away and are constantly reminded of them. It is well deserved due to their pride.
Because she is ALSO hot.
that's debatable. even the normie podcasts i listen made fun of her big bowling ball head. im not even trying say pointy knees would not bang
Well that was the most retard post i have seen all day. And I've seen some shit
Fortunately, MQ is legit
It's a fucking trip. Everyone knows weird shit is happening in hollywood and it's like ehhhh, you know? Crazy that they just get away with it.
name one
watch the Idol, she's so fucking tight and hot in that
It was a series by "the guy that did Euphoria", with The Weeknd in a major role, and that girl from a KPOP band.
It was even previewed at Cannes, and The Weeknd released new music from the show and with the guests artists.
It was a shit show, I'll grant you that, but you can't deny that there was big money put into it, and at least the show looked good, and we got so sexy shots of almost every actress.
I hate how pic related never gets mentioned in these discussions
I thought that was the bitch who played Jessie in Saved by the Bell for a second. Never realized how close to the same type they are before.
the who?
Well, they have the money to get you killed and pay off the courts, so there isn't much we can do about it. Most people don't care about things not effecting them immediately. The good thing is that they are all still bound to the same laws of mortality that we are, so their stupid decisions to do drugs and power drink will fuck them up as it would any of us. It's a form of justice.
I want Lily Rose Depp to cuck me like she did The Weeknd
the who?
Only the most listened to artist on Spotify.
He even has a movie with Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan coming out next week.
I fucked my gf to his latest album last week and it was comfy.
these webms of her i legit thought they were the same person this entire time wtf i didnt know a sosie bacon existed
Sosie Bacon? She's incredible!
