Famous parents, actors and important connections. Who would be the ‘Nepo Babies’ in Chile? | TV and show
‘Nepo Babies’ It was a term that Vulture magazine, part of New York Magazine, coined for the first time in a December 2022 report, where it revealed the long list of actors and artists who came from families related to the world of entertainment in the United States, as well as those who came from important social connections.
Among the clearest examples is Maya Hawke (daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke), Jaden Smith (son of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith) or lily rose depp (daughter of Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp).
The term ‘Nepo Baby’ is related to the words Nepotism (selection of candidates for positions prioritizing family networks) and you drink, implying that these are people who inherited great fame and connections from their parents’ work, in this case, in the world of film and TV.
The list in the United States is continued by cases such as Maude Apatow (daughter of Leslie Mann and director Judd Apatow), Dakota Johnson (daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson), or the Kardashian clan itself (daughters of lawyer Robert Kardashian and Kris Jenner). .
Another term that Vulture proposed was that of the Industry Babies, also linked to the entertainment world. These would be an important branch of the Nepo Babies, although there are specific differences.
This term can be translated as ‘Industry Babies’, referring to the fact that They did not inherit the last name of someone famous or a celebrity, but they do have extensive ties that allowed them to enter the world of film and television.
Likewise, it is made clear that within their ties are people who “do know the media business very well, a situation that gave them great advantages.”
Examples are actors or actresses who come from families of great musicians, or performers who are the children of highly reputable directors or producers. This can be linked to entrepreneurs with ties in the world of entertainment.
From this follows the case of billie eilish (daughter of a renowned voice actress), Kristen Stewart (daughter of a major television producer) or Jonah Hill (son of one of the producers of Gun’s N Roses).
With all this information, it is worth asking yourself: Do Nepo Babies exist in Chile? The answer is yes, just like in every country in the world.
In general, these are people linked to the world of entertainment who have risen to fame at an early age, backed by the careers of their parents or relatives on television.
