Nepotism is when you're hired because of family connections which most of these are not especially Nicolas Cage. Most of these actors don't take advantage of their connections. Most of them are hard working, talented actors who deserve accolades for their success. Bryce Dallas Howard is probably the best example of nepotism here. She used her dad's clout to get a job she had previously passed over cuz she felt it was beneath her but once she saw the roles success she stole it from someone else. It helped catapult her further success. The Help has been her only truly well done role. She's not very talented. Angelina Jolie should have been number one on here not just a mention. She went from socialite baby to successful star using her parents names to climb that ladder. I'm not a huge fan of hers but she's a great actress.

Funny that the last film featured in this clip featured another performance by a nepo baby. Chris Pine, who played one of Princess Mia's would-be suitors, is the son of actor Robert Pine, best known for his role as Sgt. Joe Getraer on the 1977-83 TV series CHiPs.
Of course, Chris has forged his own career since the 2005 sequel to The Princess Diaries. He portrayed James T. Kirk in JJ Abrams' Star Trek trilogy and appeared as Steve Trevor in the two Wonder Woman films opposite Gal Gadot.

They never mention Ron Howard who is the definition of a nepo baby His first job was on a film that was also his father's first acting job. Rance Howard got to the set and found out they needed a small child for a scene so he suggested that he bring his very young son. TPTB liked the idea so Ron got the part. There was something in him that casting directors saw so he continued to work regularly, then Andy Griffith came along and he became a star, eclipsing both of his acting parents.

There are so many children of famous people who tried their hands in their parents' business and failed simply because of the audience's expectations.
The younger surviving son of Mozart was a composer, for example. And by no means a bad one. But nobody, really nobody can live up to Wolfgang Mozart, so of course Wolfgang Junior was disregarded as basically the lesser Mozart.

I think Michael Douglas (son of Kirk Douglas, Zoey Deutch (daughter of Lea Thompson, Kiefer Sutherland (son of Donald Sutherland, Charlie Sheen (son of Martin Sheen, Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal (children of director Steven Gyllenhaal and screenwriter Naomi Foner) and Lily Rose Depp (daughter of Johnny Depp, all deserve at least a shoutout on the honorable mentions list.

Interesting coincidence. I actually just watched, You are so not invited to my Bat Mitzvah tonight. I was impressed. I heard it was good but going in, I figured it might be an slightly better than average girl learns important lesson trope movie. I was pleasantly surprised. It is much better than average and I think Sunny and Sadie Sandler did a really good job.

I'm not familiar with a couple of these. But, the rest I know that they've worked their butt off and paid their dues. They may have a slight leg up from (perhaps) being on set with their parent (s) and seeing how actors approach their characters. Two nepo's that you missed Carrie Fisher and her daughter Billie Lourd.

Schists Creek isnt nepotism Dan and Eugene worked together on the show from the start because it was their idea. It was not because of nepotism. I know Eugenes daughter played Twyla but she would have had to auditioned too and it was not a major character. They could have had her play Alexis but they did not.

All the people in the comment section making excuses for nepotism.
Just say you don't care about talent or hard work or innovation. You literally just want to see the same old pap, with the same old faces, again and again and again. Like toddlers.

What a strange headline! That makes it come off as if nepotism babies don't have any talent but only there thanks to name.
Of course they have talent, some of them at-least. I mean if you have a singer or actor as parent some of that will rub on to you!

But the head start these nepo kids get, destroys chances for good actors trying to break in. I wrote a screenplay and no one would open the envelope for legal reasons. I wonder if JJ Abrams had that problem with his two screenwriter parents.

I think a lot of people are misunderstanding this video. This is a list of surprising performance by people who are considered Nepo Babies. Listing your favorite Nepo Baby without the surprisingly great performance is moot.

so, nepo babies are anyone who is the child of a famous person? regardless of whether they used their powers to get a role or not? that seems harsh and frankly, not related to the actual definition of nepotism

The best ones are the actors/actresses that we don't even think of as having famous parents. Like Tracey Ellis Ross, and Nicholas Cage careers are almost completely detached from their famous lineage

Yeah, because that's why we loved Robyn on Stranger Things, because she likes women and not because she is a fun character brought to life by Maya. Glad to know where your priorities lie you.

John Washington has a lot of mannerisms similar to his father. If i didnt know any better you could have replaced his roll with John Q, Malcom X, Private Trip into his rolls.

Jamie Lee Curtis had been an established star prior to Everything Everywhere. There's no nepotism by this point in her career.
Same with Nick Cate in Pig by 2021.

John Washington is the best in the list. He came unknown but there are hints since he acted the same way as Denzel. Even the mannerism and voice takes the cake.

I believe Tracey Ross should have been on list. She had a hit show which was girlfriends and blackish. She is a beauty mogul for her patterns brand.

I can't can past the creepy assault scene on the Bat Mitzvah movie. Really weird to get kids to do that and think it's funny.

The Boys is one of my favorites! Jack Quaid is absolutely perfect for the role of Hughie. And Karl Urban can do no wrong.
