People forget that Timothee Chalamet is a nepo baby. His mom is Braodway actress Nicole Flender, his uncle is a TV director, and his aunt is a writer/producer for TV.

Sailor Cook (model) is Christie Brinkley's daughter.

Brandon Thomas Lee from The Hills New Beginnings is Pamela Anderson's and Tommy Lee's son.

I'm saying that's not nepo baby. That's having family in the industry.

I think that's kinda the same thing...

No it's not. Nepo babies have star-level parents. Not obscure ones. A father who is a movie star can make things happen for you. A father who is, like, a lighting assistant on the set, can finagle an invitation for you but you'd have to do the rest.

You don't think Directors/Producers don't have any sway? They likely have more than a random actor.

I only learned this from reading Matthew Perry's book. Matthew, it turns out, was the son of an actor. HIs dad was not as successful as Matthew was.

but played his dad for reals in Fools Rush In. They were both great.

Star level directors and producers, yes. Otherwise no.

All of the examples given were nepo babies. None of their family members were lighting directors. They were successful actors and producers with agents and connections.
No one thinks Meghan Markle was a nepo baby.

I know about everyone mentioned on this thread except Keifer Sutherland's daughter.

Meghan Markle is kind of a nepo wife lol. And I’m referring to her ex husband not Harry.

For a long time I didn’t know Emilio Estevez was the son of Martin Sheen and the brother of Charlie Sheen.

You CANNOT be serious. How old are you? This isn't exactly breaking news, FFS.

Kristen Stewart (of Twilight fame). Her is a father a stage manager and television producer, while her is a script supervisor and filmmaker. Hardly plucked out of obscurity.

Yeah her folks are in the mix, but not big wigs by any means. I think she has even spoken on this.

And cousin Jason Schwartzman

I knew about the Coppola connection but I didn’t know Jason’s mom was Connie in the Godfather (which makes sense since her brother directed it) and Adrian in Rocky. Those are two classic roles!

I'm 46 and ignorant as hell. Minimally educated, severe learning disabilities. There are a ton of basics I don't know.
