Emma Roberts opens up about the challenges of being a ‘nepobaby’: ‘People don’t see rejection’

The actress Emma Roberts he criticized those who ridicule the term “nepobaby”, a word that refers to the children of famous people, artists, personalities linked to the art world or established professionals in their field who follow their parents’ careers or would like their path to be facilitated by them.

On this Tuesday 25th episode of the podcast Table for two, the granddaughter of Julia Roberts he said that critics “don’t see all the rejection along the way”, explaining that artists don’t always have a quick and easy path to fame.

“I think there’s something to be said about the fact that everyone loves the overnight success story. People only see your victories, because they only see when you’re on a movie poster.”

Eric Roberts’ daughter said that’s why she’s open to productions she auditioned for and didn’t get. “I think it’s important to talk about that. Otherwise people think that everything was so smooth and easy and no, it’s not like that at all. But obviously it looks that way from the outside or at first glance,” she added.

Emma Roberts also said that although the path seems easier for those who have family members in the film industry, she feels pressured. “You have to prove yourself more. Plus, if people haven’t had good experiences with other members of your family, you’ll never have a chance.”

The actress also pointed out that the term “nepobaby” is more harmful to women, arguing that actors with famous relatives are not called that.
