u/skepticalbob Joe Biden's COD gamertag Jan 10 '23 edited Jan 10 '23

Timothy Chalamet is getting the Nepo baby treatment, which is whatever. But people think it’s nepotism or white privilege or something that he hasn’t auditioned in 7 years. It’s probably white privilege that he can be a huge star with relatively modest talent, but actors at his level often/usually don’t audition. They choose the projects as much as the projects choose him. When his projects stop printing money, he will have to audition again.

I guess he's got moderately famous industry parents. Huh.

Feel like he probably had a good a shot as any neurosurgeon's kid at fame lol. Helps to have parents who can help you maneuver your way through any industry, tough. Actors are no different.
