The term nepo baby, popularized in recent years on social networks (and which could be translated as “children of”), is the contraction of child and nepotism. Understand: people who owe their social advancement or success to members of their family. Regularly, their presence on the catwalks or in the entertainment industry causes debate on the Web. Recently, British actor and model Damian Hurley was accused of being one… and it greatly displeased him. The son of actress Elizabeth Hurley (They have Sara’s service, The Royals, Gossip Girl) and the American businessman Steve Bing spoke frankly about this subject in the columns of Sunday TimesSaturday March 30.
Despite the connections he made in show biz thanks to his mother, the young man who will celebrate his 22nd birthday on April 4 – and who grew up surrounded by four famous godfathers: Hugh Grant, Elton John, David Beckham and Denis Leary – said to have “managed to escape a lot of the stuff from nepo baby“ thanks to his work ethic. “Everyone who I know says, ‘Oh, but actually, wait, you’ve been working exceptionally hard since you were 15!'” he confided, referring to his career in modeling and his role in the series The Royals, when he was a teenager, in front of his mother. Before ensuring that the only thing he stole from the one who gave him life… was her wardrobe! “We are the same size”he said, saying he regularly stole his leather pants.

These other celebrities who denied being “nepo babies”
Damian Hurley is not the first celebrity to discuss his fame and the label of nepo baby which was attributed to him. In the middle of last fall, Jenaye Noah, the daughter of Yannick Noah, spoke on this subject to Paris-Match. “I’m proud of my name. Obviously, a well-known name, like being pretty, opens the door, but that doesn’t mean it opens it with kindnessestimated the 27-year-old young woman. People expect something.” A few months earlier, Vanessa Paradis criticized Madame Figaro the fact that her daughter Lily-Rose Depp, whom she had with Johnny Depp, has been cited as being a “nepotism baby” in an article from New York Magazine. “Just the expression is awful. A child whose parents are famous already has a part of his personality removed from him: people are interested in him to reach his parents”had estimated the actress, ensuring that her daughter was “a hard worker like you rarely see”.
