    Or more commonly:

    His dad was a famous actor and his mom was a famous actress, he got his big break when he was born the child of a famous actor and actress

      Nah, that’s not fair, this is how it usually goes:

      His parent was a famous actors/director, he got his break when his parent worked a project that needed a baby in shot, and brought him with them when he was 2 weeks, cementing his legacy from a young age.

        Almost, but not quite:

        His parents were a famous actors/directors, he got concieved because the producer said they wanted a baby in the scene to help audiences empathize better (unused footage; from the dvd commentary only). Unfortuately the government bent to protests from people that wouldn’t allow the studio to warehouse him as a prop, cementing his legacy from a young age.

      Yeah, I read something about Chris Pine the other day in this fashion. And he would say he’s not a nepo baby. I like some movies and stuff he’s done, I think he does a fine job, but it’s a little insulting to claim you’re not a nepo baby when, in fact, you are the definition of a nepo baby.
