What is a nepo baby? It seems like nepo babies are all anyone can talk about right now thanks to a shocking New York Magazine cover depicting some of the most famous actors with famous parents. Naturally, controversy ensued. A nepo baby is the child of a famous celebrity who achieved fame themselves through nepotism. It's a Hollywood tale as old as time, with hundreds and hundreds of stars having piggybacked off of their parents' success throughout the years. But now more than ever, social media users are shining a light on the celebs who had a big leg up in achieving success in one of the most cut-throat industries out there.

So how do the nepo babies feel about all the buzz? Many are speaking out against the term, claiming that their industry connections have nothing to do with their success. Celebrities like Lily Rose-Depp condemn the term "nepo baby" from the get-go. She claims "If somebody’s mom or dad is a doctor, and then the kid becomes a doctor, you’re not going to be like, ‘Well, you’re only a doctor because your parent is a doctor.’ It’s like, ‘No, I went to medical school and trained.'"

While other actors admit that their connections opened doors. Here's what Maya Hawke had to say about the term of 2022: "I think I'll get a couple chances on their name and then if I suck, I'll get kicked out of the kingdom. ... And that's what should happen. So I'm just going to try not to suck."
