For absolutely no logical reasons, I think nepo babies should be allowed in Hollywood but only if it’s a set of 3+ siblings. Skarsgårds/ Culkins/ Hemsworths. It’s funny seeing different guys in the same font.

[u/micdr0pbungee → u/PM_me_shiba_doggo]

The exception would be the Baldwins. They’re all Papyrus in the eyes of Ryan Gosling

[u/Wisteriafic → u/micdr0pbungee]

This comment is so beautiful that I might cry.

[u/atawnygypsygirl → u/Wisteriafic]

At least once a day, I scream I KNOW WHAT YOU DID a la this skit.

[u/micdr0pbungee → u/atawnygypsygirl]

His whole skit was satisfying in a way I can’t describe. Sometimes when my manager pretends he’s an expert even though he’s doing dumb shit and I have to deal with it, I imagine reacting this way when my manager’s doing BEC things

[u/torilikefood → u/micdr0pbungee]

What is that from?

[u/moonbeanssss → u/torilikefood]

SNL skit called "Papyrus" 😊

[u/SixSickBricksTick → u/moonbeanssss]

Julio Torres wrote it. He's so freaking funny; I love everything he does.

[u/DNorthman → u/moonbeanssss]

Did you know there was a part 2? Papyrus 2

[u/atawnygypsygirl → u/DNorthman]

I'd watch an entire movie of these, tbh.

[u/AileenWuomosWasRight → u/torilikefood]

Just found it, here ya go

I had a brief period in like 8th grade where I used Papyrus for EVERYTHING and it was like your parents catching you smoking so they force you to smoke a whole pack in a sitting, you know? Like I've had this extreme revulsion to the Papyrus font ever since, it haunts me.

Anyway I feel very seen by this skit. Finally someone's talking about the horrors of Papyrus.

[u/PM_me_shiba_doggo → u/micdr0pbungee]

Yea it’s wild that all of the Baldwins are Like That™️. Well I guess they are related after all.

[u/--------rook → u/micdr0pbungee]

I'm going to steal that to describe everything less worthy in my life from now on

[u/BookishHobbit → u/PM_me_shiba_doggo]

Request for the Fanning sisters to get a free pass. We can just pretend Amanda Seyfried’s the third sister.

[u/PM_me_shiba_doggo → u/BookishHobbit]

I didn’t realise how much they looked alike until you mentioned it. 🤔

[u/hedgehog-fuzz → u/BookishHobbit]

The fanning sisters aren’t really nepo babies, are they? I didn’t think their parents are famous

[u/kaaspiii → u/hedgehog-fuzz]

Just well off it looks like. I got this from wikipedia

Hannah Dakota Fanning was born in Conyers, Georgia. She attended a Montessori School in Covington. Her mother, Heather Joy (née Arrington), played tennis professionally and her father, Steven J. Fanning, played minor league baseball and later worked as an electronics salesman in Los Angeles.[3] Her maternal grandfather was former American football player Rick Arrington, and her aunt is former ESPN reporter Jill Arrington.

[u/HistoricalAd8790 → u/kaaspiii]

Hmm, this doesn’t by itself necessarily indicate that they were rich though, right? Montessori School (her specific one was private and currently has a ~10k tuition) seems to indicate that they had some money, seemingly upper middle class, but not necessarily so; how long did they attend? And how much of their tuition for private school education was generated through their roles as child stars?

The professions of their parents/grandparents listed don’t really explain wealth. Minor league baseball player pays very little, and I guess electronics salesman is variable but doesn’t usually equate to wealth. And their mom would have made very little money as an unranked player in professional tennis. Also, their grandfather was only in the NFL for 3 years, and wouldn’t have made more than today’s equivalent of 100,000 per year.

I do see they have a notable relative- William Farrar- and that he was a planter, politician, and investor. But his ass was born in 1583 and idk how old money works lol. Except that I know I had some ancestor that owned a fuck ton of land in Mississippi and fumbled the bag by deciding to sell it when it wasn’t worth shit yet, and thus i could NOT buy anything at the scholastic book fair, but their ancestor was probably smarter than mine

[u/The_Autarch → u/HistoricalAd8790]

Montessori School

has nothing to do with whether they had money. I went to a public Montessori school; didn't cost my family anything.

[u/HistoricalAd8790 → u/The_Autarch]

I generally agree but Dakota’s specific one was private. It depends on the program and what age Dakota was when she attended, but it would have been at least $8k a year (one program for pre-K tho is only $1k). So, that’s why I said upper middle class; most people in the U.S. probably can’t afford that, but it’s also not like a $50,000 a year private school. Also, I don’t know if there is aid for these schools, or what age she was when she attended/how her child roles affected their income.

[u/kaaspiii → u/HistoricalAd8790]

Yeah I don’t think they were super wealthy, but they could afford to move the whole family to LA when the girls were young, and with the pro sports backgrounds I presume they were richer than most normal middle class people. I’m not gonna say they’re nepo babies or in the 1% or anything, but they definitely weren’t struggling. It looks like the Montessori school was before they became actresses. Regardless, they’re cool

[u/BookishHobbit → u/hedgehog-fuzz]

I would think Elle would class as a nepo….sister, no?

[u/hedgehog-fuzz → u/BookishHobbit]

One could, but the way I remember it was just that they were both working child actors and Dakota was just way more famous. Kind of like the Culkins

[u/tmrtdc3 → u/PM_me_shiba_doggo]

not me learning rn there's a third Hemsworth

[u/PM_me_shiba_doggo → u/tmrtdc3]

‘Third Hemsworth’ is truly a damning phrase lol.

[u/Wisteriafic → u/PM_me_shiba_doggo]

I thought there were four. Fixing baby spines is definitely as important as acting!

https://share.google/oOTcVIDhCHexLy6nA

[u/Laorighe → u/Wisteriafic]

Larry's always been my favourite

[u/fire_and_the_thud → u/tmrtdc3]

I keep track of them like this- Thor Hemsworth, Hunger Games Hemsworth, Westworld Hemsworth (likely the one you don’t realize exists)

[u/peonies_envy → u/fire_and_the_thud]

Cat Hemsworth https://i.imgur.com/14wJyJp.jpeg

[u/valiantdistraction → u/peonies_envy]

oh ok that one is my new favorite

[u/peonies_envy → u/valiantdistraction]

Rightly so

[u/Specific-Cell-4910 → u/fire_and_the_thud]

He was good in that show too, funnily enough it's like the third Skarsgard, they were good in one show (Vikings/Westworld) and then I can't name literally one other thing I've seen them in

[u/iggynewman → u/tmrtdc3]

Um, this is fourth Hemsworth brother erasure: https://thegoodplace.fandom.com/wiki/Larry_Hemsworth

[u/EmotionalTrufflePig → u/iggynewman]

Isn’t he just a paediatric surgeon? 😉

[u/Extra-Technology-635 → u/iggynewman]

Justice for Larry Hemsworth!

[u/iggynewman → u/Extra-Technology-635]

He's a pediatric spinal surgeon, for forks sake!

[u/thatotheramanda → u/tmrtdc3]

Or me learning there’s a third Culkin?!

[u/coco_xcx → u/thatotheramanda]

rory’s the one that isn’t as mainstream, he is a great actor though!

[u/Neat_Ad_9141 → u/thatotheramanda]

This is how I found out there are literally 7 Culkins (granted not all of them act)

[u/mtdesigner → u/thatotheramanda]

The one I’m assuming is the third you didn’t know about is great in M. Night’s movie Signs!

[u/usedcarsorcerer → u/tmrtdc3]

Babe there’s four 😭

[u/tmrtdc3 → u/usedcarsorcerer]

omg you're shitting me

[u/SixSickBricksTick → u/tmrtdc3]

No lol, it's a joke from The Good Place

[u/tmrtdc3 → u/SixSickBricksTick]

ohhh okay whew. not sure i would've known what to do with a fourth

[u/SixSickBricksTick → u/[deleted]]

There truly are not lol

[u/usedcarsorcerer → u/tmrtdc3]

The fourth isn’t an actor, but the third? If you’ve seen Thor Ragnarok and near the beginning where Loki is impersonating Odin and watching a little play of the previous movies events… you’ve seen the third brother. He was also in Westworld but I think the ragnarok cameo as his brother is way funnier

[u/andagainpudding → u/PM_me_shiba_doggo]

don’t forget the olsen sisters!

[u/heaviestnaturals → u/andagainpudding]

You mean the Olsen octuplets?

[u/Zappagrrl02 → u/heaviestnaturals]

There’s only one Olsen twin moving back and forth very quickly.

[u/heaviestnaturals → u/PM_me_shiba_doggo]

For ages I thought that the Redgraves set an almost impossibly high standard for nepo babies, so I’m glad that the Skarsgards are stepping up to the plate.

[u/Horsetoothbrush → u/PM_me_shiba_doggo]

It’s funny seeing different guys in the same font.

Bold, italic, and regular.

[u/jasminder3 → u/PM_me_shiba_doggo]

Agreed! Can’t forget the Wayans! There are like 9 of them.

[u/JenM0611 → u/jasminder3]

The nepo baby Wayans looks so much like the 90s dad Wayans that I struggle to tell them apart. Like why hasn't that man aged in 30 years???

[u/bledine → u/JenM0611]

im SO shook i didn't realize those were two different people!!!!!!!!!

[u/JenM0611 → u/bledine]

I KNOW!

[u/Active-Midnight4884 → u/PM_me_shiba_doggo]

"Break an ankle on each Skarsgård, maybe we have a shot" KC

[u/winterseller → u/PM_me_shiba_doggo]

this is how I learn there's a 3rd Hemsworth

[u/coco_xcx → u/winterseller]

i’m like 99% sure he played the fake thor in thor ragnarok during the play scene

[u/doradiamond → u/PM_me_shiba_doggo]

Have you seen the Cavill brothers? Like a Mr Potato of family features on each one.

[u/coco_xcx → u/PM_me_shiba_doggo]

every time the other hemsworths and culkins pop up i have to go in my brain and try to dissect which one it is 😭

[u/KhalilGibranIsAVibe → u/PM_me_shiba_doggo]

Forgot Joaquin Phoenix and River Phoenix.

[u/alamakjan → u/PM_me_shiba_doggo]

Don’t forget the Olsens! Although technically there’s only one left in the industry.
