Are all nepo babies really created equal? Should Timothée Chalamet, whose uncle Rodman Flender directed Leprechaun 2, appear on nepo baby listicles that include stars with actually famous family, such as Lily-Rose Depp, Hailey (Baldwin) Bieber, or Sofia Coppola? (Sorry, Rodman.)
Outing supposed nepo babies is one of social media’s favorite parlor games, and it only grew more popular after becoming the subject of a 2022 New York magazine cover. Dynasties have existed since the dawn of the star system, but younger generations are more willing to count an Oscar-winning father or supermodel mother as a strike against an up-and-comer.
