Julia Fox Wants Her 3-Year-Old Son, Valentino, To Embrace Being A 'Nepo Baby'
HuffPost
The “Uncut Gems” actor weighed in on the “nepotism baby” debate with an extremely on-brand response.
Unlike some famous parents, Julia Fox has no qualms about her 3-year-old son, Valentino, growing up to embrace the privilege he’s been born into.
In an interview with Variety published Monday, Fox touched on the “nepotism baby” debate and said she thinks public figures choosing to keep their children out of the spotlight is “almost like a disservice.”
“It’s like I have this very highly coveted thing,” the “Uncut Gems” actor and fashion icon told the publication. “I want to share that with my son. We need him to be a nepo baby, and he needs to like own it too.”
She went on to note: “He can’t be like, ‘I’m not really a nepo baby,’ he needs to be like, ‘Yes I’m a nepo baby, and what?’”
The term “nepotism babies,” or “nepo babies,” refers to children of actors, singers and other public figures whose professional success, typically in the realm of show business, is perceived to be a byproduct of having famous and/or wealthy parents.
