Good to see the children of the rich and famous doing real jobs?

OK I know she shouldn't have done the below but I actually find it refreshing that the children of of the rich and famous do real jobs and don't take advantage of nepotism. So many of the children of celebrities seem to become models or singers (though you haven't heard their music) it beggars belief.

I am glad some celeb offspring aren't too posh to do important jobs that maybe involve tough clinical conditions.

It's more often who you know rather than what you know. That applies to all of us. It only becomes infuriating when someone who clearly isn't qualified at all gets a job over someone who is.

Daisy Edgar-Jones is one of the most boring British actresses to break through in years. Her dad is head of entertainment at Sky. You can bet producers were falling all over themselves to cast her. Must be nice.

Maybe anyone can have an exhibition if they pay for it? 🤷‍♀️

Yes, there are premises which can be hired for exhibitions. The artist - or someone he/she has hired - will have to organise sending out invitations, advertising and hanging or displaying the art.

In some way I feel sorry for the children of talented famous people as they grow up in the shadow of their star-parent and statistically they will be unlikely to ever achieve what their parent did. There are some cases where those good genes are passed on - families which churn out generations of good actors or singers - but usually it seems that the children don’t inherit the same talents.

There are some acting 'dynasties' with real talent- doubtless their connections help though maybe there's also higher expectations?

Someone mentioned Gordon Ramsay. His son may be a marine but look at this daughter's careers......I think the family name helped a bit.

Yes, every school I've worked in has had at least one of the head's/deputy's children employed doing something.

I feel sorry for David Beckham's children. I think both parents have real work ethic and their children have been encouraged and supported to do the same, but it's incredibly hard to live an ordinary life from their starting point.

I mean Zoe Ball. Can chat a lot but it must have helped having a dad in the industry. Fearne Cotton?

@HeartandSeoul DD1 was at school with Phoenix. I sent her the DM link, and she’s howling. She had another classmate who dated Brooklyn Beckham briefly - her Dad’s a film producer, and she’s an actress.

A lot of DD’s schoolfriends had parents who were what she described as “next level rich” and don’t have to work. One of her friends seems to be living in Florida and spending time at the beach.

I think it's where you have potentially a huge number of people with real talent but just a few can really make a huge success. Many students studying fashion design and yet by some coincidence Stella McCartney is a huge name! What happens to all those other fashion design students in the UK!

The schooling aspect is interesting. Is it the case the rich and famous invariably choose private schooling?

Her son with Norman Cook performed at Glastonbury this year. The family connections must have helped there too, but that kid had a difficult childhood! I don't think I'd want to be him.

One daughter has just got into cookery school and the other did psychology at uni and seems to be “marrying well”

Woody Cook seems quite the celeb. He's getting those nice quiz show slots etc.

Better to dream tvat they work really hard, get great jobs and can look after themselves and their families

Well your niece had you helping. Plenty have no contacts. Plus is isn't/ wasn't near impossible to get work experience, you just had to push a bit.

The Phoenix pics are funny, she just appears to be trying her luck. Brooklyn Beckham actually worries me a bit (obv I don't know him). He seems to want to be taken seriously without any of the hard yards.

Daisy Oliver, she won't be the only student nurse getting a bollocking for this. It's more maturity and the times we live in. Hopefully she won't do it again.

It doesn’t sound pleasant having a “pad” thrown in your face

You see nepotism a lot, Bradley Walsh and his personality free son who gets to work along side him off on “ adventures” around America .
Lorraine Kelly’s daughter has just had a baby, her daughter’s partner has now started making insta stories about the Dads side of new parenthood as you can imagine it’s not groundbreaking stuff.
I looked at comments they said oh this is so refreshing you need to bring out a book …. I thought no you really don’t.
Good for her doing nursing I expect lots of youngsters need to be told how to act professionally in this share everything social media age, hopefully she’ll learn.

That's my point though I want them to be able to not have to work even if they do. I wish I had been born into a circumstance like that. I've also got a sleep disorder and my son's got the same thing and struggling at school because he can't wake up and misses a lot, so it's not just about working hard or being able to sometimes. The world isn't built for alternative work styles

She was, by miracle (she was private school and where she applied, they discriminate against those). But it continued at uni - she thought everyone was the same until she started comparing tips which medical resources were the most helpful and was told, by a doctor's son 'Don't you have a medical library at home? My grandfather was a doctor, and so is my mum and dad.' She says you can immediately tell whose parents are doctors, unfortunately. I am so glad, literally thrilled they are now deliberately taking all sorts of people - that should take those hereditary medics down a peg or two.

It's likely just confirmation bias on the nepo babies. Of course it exists, like in every profession (I worked for my dad for 10 years). But we don't hear often about kids doing 'normal' jobs because it's simply not news. The vast majority do this but there's no news to tell on it.

There's a few jobs I'd have done for the love of it if I didn't have to worry about paying the bills long term.

But it is good to see kids that could easily have just drifted along trying to be famous doing real jobs. She may have chosen differently if money was a future issue for her, but it's not like it's not a hard job so 🤷

It's not that unusual, you just don't hear about them do much because they are not in the public sphere. I've heard people in the public eye (hate the word celebrity) proudly say their dc are drs, teachers, nurses, police, pilots etc etc. Currently watching celebrity race across the world and it's interesting seeing Jeff Brazier worrying about what his son will do. Just because he's famous doesn't mean his son doesn't need an income.

Gordon Ramsey’s son joined the Royal Marines a few years ago..

A niece of ours with one Brit parent, who had always lived abroad except for A levels, and had no medic connections in the U.K., is now in her 4th year of medic studies at a U.K. university. She did do very well at A level though.

Oh, come on. Every sleb game show involves easier questions, it's obvious. They aren't fixing it, given that they are competing against other slebs and it's all for charity anyway.
