Soft pillows, popcorn smell and thrills. I’m in the cinema. The film is good, I was especially impressed by one of the actors. Logically, as soon as the credits roll, I grab my cell phone. Wikipedia, come up with this guy’s life story. Yeah, his father was also an actor and he grew up in Hollywood. “Even as a teenager, he was able to gain a foothold in the film business,” it says.
So, the child of Nepomniachtchi. They are currently a problem. Ever since The New York Magazine published an article listing Hollywood stars and starlets who, thanks to nepotism—that is, nepotism—can successfully follow their calling. Spoilers: these are most of the big screen heroes.
This is problem? Yes and no. My mom may be beautiful, but rich and famous with celebrity status? Unfortunately no. Otherwise, like all those Nepo babes, I would probably work on her until she put me on the red carpet. She took me to her agent. Leads through the set. And then, thanks to all these opportunities, I would be traded for the role of the next IT girl.
So no: in principle, this is not a problem if you play ball in the family. I would probably do the same. However, this becomes problematic if one does not recognize this privilege. For example, Lily-Rose Depp (23 years old). The daughter of Johnny Depp, 59, and Vanessa Paradis, 50, expressed regret over the Nepo Baby controversy and said she works just as hard as everyone else.
It could be. But the starting point from which Lily-Rose Depp’s career began is far ahead of anyone who doesn’t have a family in the industry. This has always been implicitly clear, but the discussion of Nepo Baby has re-emerged the awareness of the broad masses of the people of this disparity of opportunity.
Even away from Hollywood, here in Switzerland, you have to plug your nose. We must never forget that with academic parents and a holiday home in Ticino, Pascal Müller stands a better chance. Larger network. Respectable demeanor and self-expression. Financial safety net. The piece falls near Dad’s bank account. This gives him more options. And more opportunities to succeed on the chosen path.
What is cousin management in a human way. That is why we need laws that at least slightly smooth out the inequality of opportunities. Because the myth from the dishwasher to the star is almost non-existent. Unless in the film – he plays the baby Nepomniachtchi.
