“People like to say, ‘Oh, you know, you have a leg up because you’re a family in the industry.’ But then the other side to that is, you know, you have to prove yourself more. Also, if people don’t have a good experience being to be with other people in your family, then you’ll never get a chance.”

She continued:

“Because everybody loves the kind of overnight success story, if you’re not the girl from the middle of nowhere that broke into Hollywood there’s an eye roll of like, Well, your dad was this.”

“Young girls, I feel like, get it harder with the nepo baby thing”: More details explored as Emma Roberts shares her opinion about the nepo baby debate

Emma Roberts has opened up about the nepo baby debate and stated her experiences as she claimed to have been through the same during her early years. She also claimed that “young girls get it harder.”

“I always joke I’m like, ‘Why is no one calling out George Clooney for being a nepo baby?’ His aunt Rosemary Clooney was an icon. Young girls, I feel like, get it harder with the nepo baby thing. I don’t really see people calling out you know, sons of famous actors. Not that they should be called that. I don’t think anyone should be called out wanting to follow their dreams."

She continued and said how she feels that newbie actors related to established ones must list out their rejections and failures too.

“I think it’s important to talk about because otherwise people just think, ‘Oh, you know, everything’s been so great and linear and easy, and it’s like, no… not at all. But of course, it looks like that to the outside perspective or to the naked eye.”
