Hollywood Nepotism Keeps Getting Called Out But It's Not A New Thing

In more recent years, Hollywood has been attempting to find many ways to make itself more progressive. This comes not only in regard to the stories it allows to be told on the big and small screens, but in who audiences see acting in the roles as well. For example, when it comes to the roles of characters that are of a certain racial background, status, and the LGBTQ+ community, fans have been calling for the members of these groups to represent these characters. This allows for the stories to be rawer and gives these actors a chance to represent their own communities on screen. This has been happening more and more, but within the vast industry that Hollywood is, there are still hiccups. One of the most recent and prevalent is nepotism and its impact.

The concept of nepotism within the context of Hollywood refers to someone who comes from a family of prior wealth and status. This commonly makes it easier for an upcoming actor to break through, and in some cases, receive bigger roles than they might have if they did not have the last name that they do. With this becoming a more prominent topic in recent years, a new lens has opened up on the figures in Hollywood who’ve been reaping these benefits, and the way that they address their privilege.

Movies That Promote LGBTQ+ Awareness

Some of the best-known products of nepotism are actors like Lily-Rose Depp, the daughter of actor Johnny Depp and actress Vanessa Paradis. She has been a part of many popular projects like Tusk, The King, Yoga Hosers. She’s also set to appear in the upcoming HBO Max series The Idol which is set to be directed by Euphoria’s Sam Levinson, and Depp is also acting alongside music sensation The Weekend. The Idol is set to start streaming on HBO Max in
