Nepo baby talk will never go away. Even deeper, the latest trend is ‘Neplings’ or ‘Nepolings’ as we like to call them.
Don’t Forget Those Siblings

Being a nepo baby has an unpleasant sting now and following behind are the siblings who have rode the coattails or succeeded behind their more popular siblings. Although some of them are not talented, they get in there and secure roles, places and appearances thanks mostly to the foot in the door that their siblings provide for them.

Many of these siblings float around Hollywood and the who’s who is a mixed bag. Some of them proudly display their relationship like Beyonce and Solange Knowles. But others keep it on the quieter side like Blake Lively and some of her siblings who have all made it big in Hollywood; Robyn, Eric, Lori and Jason Lively.
They all share the same last name but they were lucky to be successful at different times so there is no overlap.
Some Celebrities Embrace Their Relationships

Many celebrity siblings in Hollywood don’t try to hide their relationship, they often hang out with their siblings while being touched by the paps. Gigi Hadid’s mother, a former model herself, Yolanda Foster is nurturing her eldest daughter’s modeling career.
Some of the trips were documented on RHOBH. Just as Gigi was starting to gain some traction, her older sister Bella Hadid jumped on the bandwagon after doing badly in college in NY and getting a DUI.

Suddenly their younger brother Anwar Hadid became a model. A whole family of models appears in advertisements and guarantees long-term campaigns with luxury brands. Talk about sibling support! all three have a following and people love to see the siblings together.

This isn’t always the case for siblings in Hollywood. Some people don’t get sustenance. It has long been assumed that Jonah Hill’s younger sister Beanie Feldstein only got into the business because of her hugely popular brother and his on- and off-screen connections.
He goes by a different last name and all that jazz but he never disguises who he’s in contact with, and that doesn’t necessarily work in his favor.
We mentioned Beyonce and Solange. Queen Bey was part of Destiny’s Child and really had to claw and push her way through industry crashes, and many dramatic changes to the group. Solange came, suddenly, a singer and songwriter, getting opportunities like recording the theme song for Disney’s Proud Family and sings backup vocals on her sister’s songs.
Many of the siblings in Hollywood are in a position where one doesn’t happen without the other and even when it does it’s not always rosy.
Hollywood Is Not Created Equal

To be honest, the conversation about nepotism only happens because there is a bit of jealousy in people who find it pathetic to put your family members down. So we say, when you feel like it, remember that rarely do two celebrity siblings have the same level of success.
Especially in acting! It’s hard work and if you don’t have it, Hollywood will tell you. It happens time and time again, one sibling rises while the other remains at a mediocre level or gains some charm only to succumb to the curse of the nepo siblings.
For example, one of the hottest actresses here right now, Florence Pugh, her brother Toby Sebastian… yeah, who? He is also an actor and has also participated in Game of the freaking Thrones five episodes in total. Do you know him for his work or for being related to Pugh?

What about Chris Evans, our true Captain America, we know him, we love him but what about Scott Evans? Yes, his older brother who, like Toby, had some moderate success appeared in great shows like Grace and Frankie and served for a long time. One life to live but we don’t really know him. Any level of fame he achieved was probably overshadowed by his more famous brother.
It Used To Be Easier To Be Siblings In Hollywood

Following in the footsteps of a sibling has happened since the beginning. Look at siblings like Warren Beatty and Shirley MacLaine or Jason and Justine Bateman or Fred and Ben Savage, John and Joan Cusack, Kirk and Candace Cameron, Phylicia Rashad and Debbie Allen, and Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez. Really, we could go on. There is room for both but no one seems bitter or at least the conversation isn’t happening.
MEGA
Now, it becomes like a scarlet letter and the success you have, like the parent/child nepotism talk, you don’t earn. So even if you’re a good actress like Elizabeth Olsen, it doesn’t matter that her sister is the famous twin who dominated the 90s.
Instagram/KateHudson
As for Oliver Hudson, sister Kate had to bring him in because he was famous first. She maintains a solid work career, honestly, she probably works more than Kate now, but she is responsible for her fame.
So, does the same hold true for his half-brother Wyatt Russell through Kurt Russell?
MEGA
Alexander Skarsgard became famous before his brother Bill Skarsgard however, Bill killed him and got more job opportunities than his “more famous” older brother.
At the end of the day, all of these people can be traced back to their parents who are either famous or throw all of their kids in the ring and push out the stuck up ones. Social media continues the conversation, and something tells us it won’t be ending anytime soon.
