Emma Roberts on Nepo Baby Criticism Against Women: ‘Why Is No One Calling Out George Clooney?’


As noted by TMZ, Rosemary Clooney, a singer and actress who appeared with Bing Crosby in the 1954 film White Christmas, was George’s aunt. The family members even appeared together during an episode of ER.

“I feel like [young girls] get it harder with the nepo baby thing,” Emma Roberts added. “I don’t really see people calling out sons of famous actors. Not that they should be called out. I don’t think anyone should be called out for wanting to follow their dreams.”

“I’ve been like, ‘Oh, put in a good word for me on this’ and haven’t booked things,” Roberts confessed. “People kind of only see your wins because they only see when you’re on the poster of a movie. They don’t see all the rejection along the way. That’s why I’m always very open about things I’ve auditioned for and haven’t gotten the part for. I think it’s important to talk about because otherwise people just think, ‘Oh, you know, everything’s been so great and linear and easy’ and it’s like, no, not at all. But of course, it looks like that to the outside perspective or to the naked eye.”

Per IMDb, projects on the horizon for Roberts include Space Cadet, Hot Mess, Second Wife, and Saurus City. Earlier this year she appeared in Madame Web as Mary Parker.
