McConaughey films himself reading lines with his son.
He sends the video to the casting director and requests it gets sent to the director.
Then he says “but take my last name off.”

Boomer people magazine celebrity culture really puts weird Gen Z influencer culture in perspective.

If this is true, I'm suffering second hand embarrassment for the McConaugheys.
Then to have their PR run with the story that Levi got the job on his own . . . . ☠️

Another here ok with nepotism. Everyone knows if the kid has talent or not. I have no idea if tom helped his kids or not but this will never not be hilarious to me.

Nicolas Cage changed his name so no one would know he was a Coppola.

But Hollywood knew.

At least Sandler owns the nepotism by literally making bad movies to showcase his wife and kids and friends.

Is this another PR started thread? Has the super long title just like the others. Lame troll.

Don’t you mean…All Right, All Right, All Right…

And doesn’t his son resemble him very closely, with darker hair?

Tori Spelling spent years claiming that this is how she got her role on 90210, by using a different name.

It's not what you know but whom you know. All working people know that. You need to get out more.

Didn't Tori Spelling do the same thing for BH 90210? Yes, yes she did. And we've suffered through Donna Martin graduating when she shouldn't have, and way too many mediocre perforamces in Lifetime Movies from her.

Sure, sure. And boot straps Jeff Bezos started Amazon in his garage. Spoiler: Jeff was a Princeton alum multi-millionaire investment banking executive before starting Amazon.

Yes.

His son is very recognizable. So much so that I’m pretty sure Daily Mail just did one those “Guess whose son this is” pieces because he resembles him so much.
