Idris Elba ends nepotism

[Addison Rae 16,762]

not her having zero chemistry with her OWN DAD

i guess the dynamics change when you have to get into character and play a role in front of tons of people instead of how you act around him in private

That's precisely what I mean: the fact she is his daughter is what landed her the audition  And nothing wrong with that, at the end of the day most things are a matter of connections and knowing the right people, but let's not use this as an example of non-nepotism. She is a famous person's daughter, she'll always get a foot in the door.

I remember Bryce Dallas Howard talking about how she got her foot in the door and how she was rejected on so many auditions while working as a dog walker, trying to paint a picture that her father wasn't that much help, but... nepotism isn't just someone pulling a bunch of strings and landing you a gig, its access to people and information about ins and outs of the industry that gives you a huge leg-up

How do you think she landed the audition tho? 

I don’t think there’s any issue with parents helping their kids. This literally happens every day with most people across the world. 
The issue is when the kid is obviously handed a career for the fact they exist as a by product of their famous parent.

Never said there was something wrong with that. And at the end of the day, connexions can only get you so far - without actual talent and an actual message, chances are you won't go very far. Hate to bad-mouth anyone, but just look at Sam Asghari or Brooklyn Beckham...
