The "American Horror Story" actor is the daughter of actor Eric Roberts and the niece of Julia Roberts.
Emma Roberts thinks people are leaving out an important point in the ongoing “nepo baby” discourse.
During an appearance on Tuesday’s episode of the iHeart podcast “Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi, the “American Horror Story” actor — who’s the daughter of actor Eric Roberts and the niece of Julia Roberts — said that she believes the public only witnesses the successes of actors from famous families.
“People kind of only see your wins because they only see when you’re on the poster of a movie,” Emma Roberts said. “They don’t see all the rejection along the way.”
She explained that she’s often open about when she doesn’t get a role she auditioned for because she believes people will otherwise think “everything’s been so great and linear and easy.”
