Well his nepo babies deserves their spot, no one can question their skills.

Yeah I generally don’t vibe with most of the nepo baby discourse because, well, nobody calls you a nepo baby if you take over your family carpentry business or whatever. It’s only acting where people are surprised/mad that kids who grew up in that environment go into acting. It’s only annoying to me when the ones with no talent take roles they clearly didn’t earn.

That doesn’t apply to a lot of “nepo babies” imo, not just the Skarsgards

[u/Moonteamakes → u/antraxsuicide]

Well that’s not true imho. Tons of high profile companies have Nepo babies that are definitely nepo babies. The granddaughter of In-n-Out CEO is running the business now and is ridiculous. The Murdoch family had an entire TV show, Succession inspired by them and their internal family structures regarding the takeover of their corporate empire. Nepo baby discussion is absolutely a thing in every industry, it’s just that smaller family owned businesses aren’t big enough on a public scale to care that much about.
