Emma Dillespie is here. Hello, good morning friends. 4 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:12,959 Speaker 2: How we're going. 5 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: We're very well. We're talking about something. I saw the 6 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 1: title nepo babies. 7 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 2: Yes, neo baby babies now like a premature baby. 8 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 3: Yet we're not talking about neonatal care. We're talking about 9 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 3: nepotism babies. So this is a term that's even up 10 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 3: for mc quarry Dictionaries Term of the Year, and basically 11 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 3: it speaks to this idea that you know, for as 12 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 3: long as there have been celebrity couples, there have also 13 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 3: been celebrity kids and oftentimes they will enter into the 14 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 3: entertainment biers following the footsteps of their parents. But the 15 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 3: reason nepo babies is a term that's really floating around 16 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 3: a lot at the moment is because they've had enough 17 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 3: and they're speaking out against having to deal with the 18 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 3: pressures and privilege that come with being nepo babies. 19 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: What's some examples of neppo babies at the moment. 20 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 3: So some of the most famous ones the Kardashi the 21 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 3: entire Kardashian clan. 22 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 2: For Glynn Beckham that probably. 23 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 3: Original NEPO baby would be like Eliza Minelli, you know, 24 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:07,759 Speaker 3: way back. 25 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 2: But it's all kicked off because Lily. 26 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 3: Rose Depp, who is the daughter of Johnny Depp and 27 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 3: Vanessa Parody, she has done an interview with Elle magazine 28 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:17,479 Speaker 3: saying that. 29 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 2: She's sick of it. She doesn't want to be called it. 30 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 3: She said, it's weird to reduce somebody to the idea 31 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 3: that they're only there because it's generational. It doesn't make 32 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 3: any sense if somebody's mum or dad is a doctor 33 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 3: and then the kid becomes a doctor, You're not going 34 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 3: to be like, well, you're only a doctor because your 35 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 3: parent is a doctor. 36 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 2: It's like, no, I went to medical school and trained. 37 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 2: So she's sick of it. 38 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 4: And also she wasn't any good. That's different. You know, 39 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 4: you can get that opportunity, but if you're no good, 40 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 4: you don't stick around. 41 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,639 Speaker 3: I think it's fair that, you know, once your foot's 42 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 3: in the door, it's up to you to show them 43 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 3: what you've got. But you have to acknowledge that getting 44 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 3: your foot in the door in the first place, that 45 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,919 Speaker 3: there's you know, miles and miles of talented people behind 46 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 3: you who will just never get to that spot because 47 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 3: they don't know. 48 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: What do you do? But what if you are a 49 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: child of famous active parents, So it's all you ever 50 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: want to do. Should you not be given that opportunity 51 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: because you know you'll be judged for it. Well, it's 52 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: a double edged sword, isn't it. 53 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 3: I think there's a bit of extra responsibility on them 54 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 3: to just show that self awareness and have that humility, 55 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 3: but also you've got to be good. 56 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 2: And I think the reason people. 57 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 3: Have jumped on Lily Rose's dep is she's done a 58 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 3: couple of movies, but she's not that interesting. One of 59 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 3: my friends, an entertainment writer, described her as having the 60 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 3: screen presence of a wet blanket, so that gives you 61 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 3: a bit of a sense she's a model, though she's gorgeous. 62 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 3: She's a Chanelle ambassador. But Lily Collins as well, who's 63 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 3: the daughter of Phil Collins, has also spoken out in 64 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 3: the wake of Lily Rose's DEPP to defend her, saying 65 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 3: that you know, she's sick of people questioning if she 66 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 3: has a free pass and that she's proud of her dad, 67 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 3: but she wants to break through. So I think it 68 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 3: comes down to this sort of talent meets opportunity or 69 00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 3: talent beats opportunity kind of litmus test. So, I you 70 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 3: famous and a little bit talented, but you've got all 71 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 3: this opportunity and you're not doing enough with it? Or 72 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 3: is your talent so profound that we're willing to kind 73 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 3: of look past the fact that you're a nepo baby, 74 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 3: like I think either Kate Hudson or a Ben still 75 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 3: A maybe. 76 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, because you look at the Douglas family, Michael Douglas, 77 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: Kirk Douglas. 78 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 2: Yep, there's another one in there is a Douglas Douglas, 79 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 2: Douglas Dougs. 80 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: They're at Bow or is it. The other family is 81 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: the Bridges family. 82 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 2: Bridges, and then there was the Baldwin family Stephen Boord. 83 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,239 Speaker 3: Well, the Baldwin next generation are all very nepo baby. 84 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 2: Are they good too? They acting? 85 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 3: Are? They're very attractive. But one of them is married 86 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 3: to Justin Bieber. Yes, that's right, Yeah, she's nepo baby. 87 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 2: She's defended them. Just that's just good breeding, isn't it. 88 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: Yeah? Where do you draw the line?
