Nepotism babies are celebrities born into privilege and the connections of their star-studded parents have given them a significant boost to succeed in Hollywood. Lily-Rose Depp, Kendall Jenner, and Brooklyn Peltz Beckham are all examples of celebrities who may have tricked people into believing in their success. Lily-Rose Depp was cast as the co-protagonist in the 2016 comedy horror film Yoga Hosers at 17 and Kendall Jenner was signed to Wilhelmina Models at 13. Brooklyn Peltz Beckham is enjoying his nepo baby privileges while downplaying them. Brooklyn Beckham, Ty Tennant, Zoe Kravitz, Maya Hawke, and Timothée Chalamet are all celebrities with famous parents.

Brooklyn, Ty, Zoe, Maya, and Timothée come from a lineage of actors who have starred in the British series Doctor Who since the 60s. Ty has expressed interest in playing the role somewhere down the line, while Zoe has built a stronger reputation in the acting arena. Maya has acknowledged her advantage in the industry due to her having celebrity parents, and Timothée has roots in film and theater. Matthew Chalamet is a nepo baby, but not like others whose parents are huge celebrities with many connections in Hollywood. He is the son of Ryan Philippe and Reese Witherspoon, and his mother vouched for him by telling executive producer Mindy Kaling he was interested in an acting career.

Jack Quaid is the son of Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid, and Lily Collins is the daughter of Jill Taverman and musical artist Phil Collins. Lily believes nepotism in Hollywood is the reason why she instead forged a career in acting. Lily Allen, Dakota Johnson, John David Washington, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, and Jaden Smith are all examples of celebrities who have been privileged from the start. Lily's success is due to her last name, while Dakota's success is due to her upbringing being traumatic. John David Washington's success is due to his role in films like BlacKKKlansman and Tenet, while Jaden's success is due to his first movie experience acting alongside his father in The Pursuit of Happyness.

Will and Jada Pinkett Smith's eldest child, Jaden, is a first-ballot nepo baby. Kate Moss' half-sister Lottie Moss is a staunch defender of nepotism, and Tom Hanks' four children are actors. Tom Hanks' eldest son, Colin, has appeared in movies and TV shows, and his children have also appeared in movies and TV shows. Tom Hanks' daughter Elizabeth has appeared in Forrest Gump and That Thing You Do, his son Chet has acted in TV shows Empire and Shameless, and his youngest, Truman, had a part in his father's recent movie A Man Called Otto. Hanks argued that the entertainment industry is a "family business" and that it is up to the audience to make the experience authentic.
