      I hate myself for liking Emma Roberts but I rewatch Scream Queens and Holidate every year.

      honestly Dakota. I like her in interviews but on screen i’ve never understood it

      Speaking my truth, Jack Quaid 😔 he’s good but not that good to be considered nepo baby heart throb

      Dakota Johnson doesn’t even have chemistry with herself.

      Definition of wooden. And then complains and blames other people when her horrible Marvel movies don’t do well even though she has amazing connections that help open the door to roles other people would love to have the chance to even audition for.

      Honestly, all of them except Maya. Shes genuinely talented and likeable. The rest of them, not so much. Definite air of entitlement.

      One nepo baby who I think deserves genuine praise is Margaret Qualley. Having just rewatched Maid, she has a huge amount of talent. She plays a character who’s flat broke and has zero support or consistency from her mentally ill mum and abusive alcoholic dad, and not once did I think “wow, you can tell this kid has never known hardship”. She was INCREDIBLE in that role.

      Maude Apatow for me. She’s had few lines so far in the new season of Euphoria but her delivery is cringeworthy at times

      The answer is Dakota, obviously. If you’ve seen her in one movie or interview, you’ve seen them all.

      She would be great at audio books to help fall asleep. No tea no shade. She’s just so monotone it puts you to sleep

      Colin Hanks, I just don’t think he’s a very good actor

      I feel like Maya Hawke can’t act fs and everyone ignores it. She did not sell the character in ‘Do Revenge’ for me and she felt horribly miscast. She seems to play the same character which is just herself and I think that can work for your career when people enjoy you but she’s just not my cup of tea. At least none of her roles landed for me.

      I prefer her best in Stranger Things but everything since – she is the same character, same everything and I just can’t enjoy the performance because I get distracted by how not good she is then annoyed bc she got the role bc of nepotism and all immersion is gone

      Emma Roberts 😬 deffo should thanking god that her aunt is Julia Roberts.

      For me Maya. I watched her in So Revenge and her acting was so bad – I was so surprised cause she wasn’t even passable towards the end.

      I didn’t know that was Denzels kid, damn. He was good in black klassmam but kinda sucked in everything else. None of these are terrible actors but they won’t be missed of they disappeared either.

      I’ve never seen people give Dakota praise (except when Suspiria is brought up), so it’s crazy seeing all the commenters jumping to trash on her 😭

      Lily Rose Depp. Maybe I just hate Johnny so much that I’m blinded.

    27. katieb1300 on

      People are going to attack me for this answer, but I’m only sharing my opinion. Nicholas Cage.

    28. jaguarsp0tted on

      lily rose depp is a bad actress and was the worst performance in the 2024 Nosferatu. everything I’ve seen of her is either exceptionally banal or actively and purposefully derivative with zero originality and she is held back by having the most severe case of iPhone Face in the history of all mankind.

      Most of the nepo babies and I hate how they’re everywhere these days, at the detriment of unknown talents getting roles. Most of the nepos can’t act well enough to not ruin the immersion.

    34. Objective_Grass4993 on

      I never see praise for Dakota Johnson, but I always see complaints about her acting (see comments in this thread lol)
