I'm not really shocked by these sorts of things anymore - just more evidence that Hollywood runs on nepotism/"who you know" like any other industry.
Edit: Also "insider information" privilege - knowing "what you do" to get certain jobs. That's huge in my experience...
That AND people with basically endless amounts of money have time to practice skills for themselves like acting, art, or music. Rich people have the most valuable resource in life. Time.
I mean sometimes. That is not always the case though. Take Chris Pratt for example, he was mentioned elsewhere in this post. He was dirt poor, working as a waiter when his antics impressed a producer who wanted to put him in front of a camera.
Then he got rich, mingles with other rich people and met Arnold's daughter. (After divorcing Anna Faris and becoming a born again).
Regime always has these stories in every industry so justify nepotism babies existence
Sure some pedon go through... Good for him. Read between the lines
It means nothing in the grand scheme of things...
