Emma Roberts On Nepo Babies: Men Have It Easier, Cites George Clooney

Emma Roberts comes from a famous show business family. But on Tuesday’s Table for Two podcast, she said she thinks men from similar backgrounds have it easier. Case in point: George Clooney.

“I always joke, ‘Why is no one calling out George Clooney for being a nepo baby? [His aunt] Rosemary Clooney was an icon.'”

Clooney’s aunt is best known as a major star of the 1940s and 1950s. She was a singer and actress who appeared alongside Bing Crosby in White Christmas. She also acted in an episode of ER with George.

Despite the comment, Roberts said she doesn’t think anyone should be punished for their family connections. After all, there are no guarantees, and talent ultimately determines the path.
