Which actor/actress were you surprised to discover is hugely connected?

Kate Hudson - my god i had no idea her mum is Goldie Hawn

Just finished season 2 of Running Point (really good)

Lila Moss is nothing like a supermodel short, lank hair and a very non descript face she takes after her father. Certainly doesnt stand out in the crowd. So unfair when there are sO many beautiful girls who cannot get a foot in. Long gone are the stunning supermodels of yester year Linda E, Claudia, Cindy, Christie T, Naomi etc.

@Empress13 , the 'look' changes. The models you mentioned had the look in demand at that time.

I think Kate Moss has a fairly non descript face. There are many more beautiful women than her, but her & her daughter have quite elfin features & are almost a blank canvas and all their features fit together well. I actually think her daughter is quite beautiful in a not too obvious way and there's no doubt the camera loves them (wish I could say the same about me. I always think I look OK but quickly change my mind when I see recent photos!)

It's not how beautiful you are, it's how the camera catches you.

I know someone (A) who's sister (B) is a model. They look alike, A is stunning but it's B the camera loves.

I don’t think Tom Cruise did either. There are loads that haven’t gone through the nepo pathway.

I think she’s funny. She’s not married although she is in a relationship.

Kate Winslet being a culprit of this. She wasn’t a nepo baby herself I don’t think, but she bends herself in a pretzel trying to convince us her daughter isn’t a nepo baby and still had to prove herself.

Agreed. But iI think it’s not unusual for people to gloss over the role that luck or privilege plays in their life curcumstance.

I think because the ‘hard work should be rewarded’ is a very idealised narrative, so nobody wants to admit they’ve had it easy and didn’t earn what they have.

Nope. But this thread is about nepotism.

Mind you, they may have a production company now so it’s gone away from nepo perhaps.

But he seems like a bloke who gives a hell of a lot of opportunities to people who may otherwise be overlooked, and is very vocal about how others should be doing the same. So I’d definitely forgive him a bit of early nepo.

Agreed. But iI think it’s not unusual for people to gloss over the role that luck or privilege plays in their life curcumstance.

I believe quite a few scientific studies have confirmed this.

People tend to underestimate the degree to which luck, or other external factors, have aided in their success. By contrast, they overestimate the same when it comes to their failures. It seems to be a part of human nature.

Her father was an actor.

Ah, thanks I didn’t know that.

The publishing doesn’t surprise me. Whenever I’ve watched some footage of women working on a top magazine they are always very posh and obviously from a wealthy family.

You get in via an internship. Mummy and Daddy pay your rent and give you an income.

I only discovered recently that Debbie Allen ( Fame, Grey's Anatomy) and Phylicia Rashad ( Cosby Show, Gilded Age) are sisters. They have a production company together.

On the point of greys ellis grey is richard burtons daughter

Didn’t she just feature in a movie her son produced/ directed/whatever (!), he uses his father’s last name…….🤷‍♀️….

The daughter did and Kate was disagreeing about there being nepotism or something.

Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds

It does seem a coincidence they all have plummy accents and are called Tabitha, Plum or Henrietta 😂

And fantastic me fox

How about David Tennant?
His father-in-law is Peter Davison, a previous Dr Who.
I wonder whether that was how he got the part? 🤔

Only if time travel is real 🙄

He was already dr who when he met his wife so probably not

Apparently Walt Disneys last words on his deathbed were 'Kurt Russel' 😅 and he has no idea why
