Talented Nepo Babies

[clarepetal]

On the back of a thread I've just started reading, who do you think is a nepo baby, but extremely talented?

I'll start with two, number one, Roman Kemp. I saw him presenting The One Show and had no idea who he was. I thought he was naturally good at presenting, really engaging and nice. I then heard him on his podcast with his dad, and found him incredibly funny
Second person is Lily Allen, although I've never seen her act, her music is brilliant, and although I like her dad, (her mum is famous too, but I don't know much about her) I think she is way cleverer than her dad. Sorry, Keith! Her podcast with Miquita is great too. Such a bright woman.

Any other takers?

I quire like Lilly Allen, her song fuck you is good and on my gym playlist. Definitely one for when someone’s pissed you off.

Oh I thought sne was good. But I didn’t know she was bono;s daughter so was simply judging her on her acting skills.

What is the series?

Stranger things I guess.

I was unfortunate enough to catch some of Lily Allen's set when she was supporting the Scissor Sisters a few years back. Can confirm that she couldn't carry a tune if it had handles. Whoever does the autotune on her music certainly earns their money.

Barney Walsh

Laila Ali, (not to be confused with Layla) she has a better record than her dad! She also beat Joe Frazier's daughter. I wouldn't really call either of them nepo babies, they put in huge amounts of hard work.

Eve Hewson’s brother, Elijah, is the lead singer in a really good band called Inhaler. They definitely have shades of U2 though they’re very much their own group. I guess if you grow up with The Edge popping round to your house for a cup of tea with your dad, Bono, some of the magic must rub off.

I agree with Jack Quaid- and I like his attitude about being a nepo baby too.
Bene Cumberbatch is talented and has clearly worked hard.
Lily and Alfie Allen have taken the opportunities and also has contributed. Being Keith Allens kids may have got them a foot in the door, but I can't imagine it was fun for them growing up.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Loved her kitchen discos during Covid.

Glad you said that as I thought it terrible acting. DH enjoyed it and I though it was terrible.

I was going to say Miles Cyrus. As with anything in life yes they’re talented but they have a lot behind them to ‘make it so’. We don’t really know about the number of people who are not connected, didn’t make it, who could have been more talented.

It's on my next book to read funnily enough! I can't wait

well no it's not the rhyme

What is it then?
