Michael Douglas: 'Snotty' Nepo Baby Term Undeserved

Michael Douglas has voiced strong opposition to the term "nepo baby," calling it "snotty" and "horrific." He echoed his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones's sentiments, asserting that children of celebrities should not be unfairly judged for their famous lineage. Douglas highlighted that in every other profession, parental assistance is standard, questioning why this is criticized in the entertainment industry.

Douglas, son of screen legend Kirk Douglas, feels his own children, Carys and Dylan, are unjustly tarred with the same brush. Despite his and Zeta-Jones's efforts to steer them away from acting, both have chosen to pursue careers in the field. Dylan has landed a role in an upcoming thriller, while Carys recently made her stage debut. The couple emphasized their children's deep passion for acting as the driving force behind their decisions.
