They don't need to be coddled, but it happens. And it's absolutely tone deaf for people who benefit from their parents fame to deny said fame had anything to do with it.
"it's absolutely tone deaf for people who benefit from their parents fame to deny said fame had anything to do with it."
That's a very specific condition that most of these actors have not fulfilled, at least that I've come across in these articles.
It seems, by and large, these actors say something along the lines of "of course having ______ as my parent benefits me, but that doesn't invalidate all of my own work."
Then there's more bullshit, narrow-minded bullying.
It's popular to bash actors right now and safe to do so, so all the bullies are pitching in.
Nobody is calling out Picasso's father or ernst Klimt for profiting off their famous relatives, it's cool to bash jack quaid or Angelina Jolie, so those are the latest targets of largely unsubstantiated, whiny bullying.
They're people, and it's shameful and hypocritical to bully them, especially without evidence of the very measure of ingratitude or narcissism you and your ilk are accusing them of.
