- Skarsgård says "cruel and ignorant" kids are behind the bullying
According to a recent report, acclaimed actor Stellan Skarsgård is speaking out about the challenges his 13-year-old son Kolbjörn is facing due to being labeled a "nepo baby." Skarsgård, who has an extensive acting resume and a large family, says Kolbjörn, who currently stars on a horror show called Blood Cruise, is being bullied by his classmates for his family's Hollywood connections.
"My 13-year-old, Kolbjörn, the youngest, suffers from that. When his pals at school call him nepo baby, he gets so sad," Skarsgård revealed. "He doesn't have any friends at school. He gets isolated. Cruel kids -- or cruel and ignorant."
The Mamma Mia! star went on to criticize the term "nepo baby," arguing that no one would hire someone solely based on their family ties if they weren't talented enough. Skarsgård, who has been married twice and has a total of 8 children, praised his wives for helping raise his large brood, saying "I'm not going to take much credit for anything."
As of October 22nd, 2025, Kolbjörn continues to face the challenges of being labeled a "nepo baby" by his peers, with Skarsgård expressing concern over his son's isolation and sadness due to the cruel bullying.
