Video Description

Nepotism is destroying Hollywood. From nepo babies landing leading roles to entire careers being built off family connections, the film industry is being taken over by actors who never had to fight for a spot. In this video essay, I break down Hollywood’s nepotism problem, the rise of the nepo baby trend, and why so many of these “breakout” stars were born into fame. We’ll look at the biggest examples, the impact on movies, and what it means for real talent trying to make it in the industry. If you’ve ever wondered why the same last names keep showing up in the credits, this is the video for you!
