Skarsgård's Youngest Son Bullied for Being a "Nepo Baby"

In a recent interview, acclaimed actor Stellan Skarsgård opened up about the challenges his youngest child, 13-year-old Kolbjörn, is facing due to the "nepo baby" label. Skarsgård, who has eight children, many of whom have followed in his footsteps as actors, admits that he considers himself a "nepo daddy" as he has benefited from the goodwill and potential job opportunities his famous offspring have brought him.

However, Skarsgård is quick to defend his children, stating that they have not recommended him for any roles. The real victim, he says, is his youngest son, Kolbjörn, who is being bullied at school by "cruel and ignorant" peers who call him a "nepo baby." This has led to Kolbjörn becoming isolated, with no friends at school.

Skarsgård emphasizes that the nepotism conversation is "such a bulls--- thing" because no one would hire an untalented person solely based on their family connections. He argues that his children, like himself, have had to prove their worth to succeed in the industry.

The topic of nepotism in Hollywood has been a subject of much debate in recent years, with many celebrity offspring, including Meghan McCain, Allison Williams, and Jamie Lee Curtis, sharing their perspectives on the fairness of the label. As the industry continues to grapple with this issue, Skarsgård's candid remarks shed light on the personal toll it can take on the children of famous parents.
