“ The Sojourner Truth is if you originate up in a theater with a lot of artists and people realize art and medicine , that ’s what you have sex , the same elbow room that if you uprise up in a house with law , the discussions around the table are about the nuances of whatever fussy police the parents practice . ”
Now stepping up to the plate for nepo baby discourse:Gwyneth Paltrow.
You might already be aware that Gwyneth is a nepo baby herself. Her parents are actorBlythe Dannerand late TV director Bruce Paltrow.
Gwyneth also shares two children — Apple and Moses Martin — with ex and Coldplay frontmanChris Martin.
And so Gwyneth’s thoughts on the whole “nepo baby” thing came up during an interview withThe Guardian, where she was talking about 19-year-old Apple’s own interests.
Gwyneth explained that Apple “just wants to be a kid and be at school and learn” before adding, “Nobody rips on a kid who’s like: ‘I want to be a doctor like my dad and grandad.’”
“Now there’s this whole nepo baby culture, and there’s this judgment that exists around kids of famous people. But there’s nothing wrong with doing or wanting to do what your parents do.”
“The truth is if you grow up in a house with a lot of artists and people making art and music," she continued, “that’s what you know, the same way that if you grow up in a house with law, the discussions around the table are about the nuances of whatever particular law the parents practice.”
Gwyneth then went on to explain that she believes the term “nepo baby” is an ugly moniker — and that her main focus is making sure her children aren’t tagged with it.
“I just hope that my children always feel free to pursue exactly what they want to do, irrespective of what anybody’s going to think or say.”
