I have a name for ya wolfy, yours.
Seems reasonable enough in the article. Has his own dreams. Could acknowledge it a little more but for whose benefit?
Once again, he’s using the wrong definition. He says nepo baby means getting a leg up when they have no talent. Thats not what it means! It just means getting a leg up due to family connections, regardless of talent. There are many fabulously talented nepo babies in the world and we are happier for it.
He is not even acknowledging that he also benefitted from nepotism as Eddie’s son
Considering I had no idea that Eddie had a son named Wolfgang until this comment, I’d say he’s right lmao
The entertainment industry is a very exclusive nightclub but the right surname lets you get past the bouncer with no questions asked. It’s not an indictment on your behaviour in the club (unless you’re Max Landis).
I dont think it applies to Wolfgang. Sure, he’s had access to opportunities that most of us will never have. But let’s be honest, he’s been putting in the work for decades now.
