Then obviously you don\u2019t care about your kids, because they come first.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tStallone added, \u201c\u2018Of course it\u2019s nepotism, you idiot. That\u2019s why we\u2019re parents. We want the best for our children. So obviously, we let them have every advantage.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThe \u201cnepo baby\u201d charge has increased in visibility in recent years, as the offspring of Hollywood celebrities grow in prominence. Ryan Murphy alone has provided a home base for many: Billie Lourd (Carrie Fisher), Emma Roberts (Erik Roberts), Lily Rabe (Jill Clayburgh), Kaia Gerber (Cindy Crawford),  Charlie Hall (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), Homer Gere (Richard Gere) and Ella Beatty (Annette Bening and Warren Beatty) have all featured in various Murphy series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tStallone, though, points out that parents can only do so much. \u201cCan they maintain that level of excellence?,\u201d he asks in the USA Today article. \u201cThat\u2019s out of our hands. But if you can open the door, we\u2019ll see if they have the ability to go through it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t\u201cPeople will say, \u2018She got that job, it\u2019s too easy.\u2019 You\u2019re right. Perhaps it could be. But to maintain that, to be in front of millions of people, you either got it or you don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An interview with Sylvester Stallone from October 16 is going viral thanks to some candid comments the Tulsa&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":945107,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,75,323488,24774],"class_list":["post-945106","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-scarlet-stallone","tag-sylvester-stallone"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/945106","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=945106"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/945106\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/945107"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=945106"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=945106"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=945106"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
