Reply to comment by MyCatThinksImNeat in TIL that Drew Barrymore's family heritage (The Barrymores) had been acting since the 1800's. by hypnotoad--

Almost no major stars are because of nepotism. There’s literally too many examples to list. Chris Pratt, Tom Cruise, Anya Taylor Joy, Margo Robbie, Chris Evans, Paul Rudd, John Hamm, Jack Nicholson, Jennifer Lawrence, Ben Affleck, Robert Deniro, Leonardo Decaprio, Harrison Ford, Channing Tatum, Jim Carrey, on and on and on……

Nepotism doesn’t account for hardly any major stars. Tom Holland (kinda) RDJ (kinda) Denzel’s kid? Stiller? How deep do you want to go?

I'm happy to admit I'm wrong if you can pull up anything to the contrary. I enjoy changing my mind off of stuff I don't like.

Because I see a lot of very talented actors and actresses find new places to live under freeways and on sidewalks or dingy studios with 2 other struggling people when they deserve to get actual roles vs what the nepotists get. It's really heartbreaking.

"Its what people say to excuse their lack of success"

You've clearly never stepped foot into these studios, then. Your puritan work-ethic mindset is completely wrong. These kids work hard and still get nowhere because they didn't win the birth lottery.

You're just mentioning names, that's not really proof.

Look at their relatives, look at who those people knew. How deep do I want to go? Pretty deep because these connections go deep.

But whatever, dude. I'm at work, and I literally don't care enough to fight this. I'm not wrong and I'm not admitting something that isn't true.

Also, obligatory: you're*

Now downvote and go away.
