> “You want your children to be better than you, and I really, actually believe he is,” Momoa continued. “I couldn’t do what he’s doing at his age. There’s no way I could sit in a room with Denis Villeneuve and hold my own. I was on ‘Baywatch’ at 19. He’s 16 and holding shit down with Denis Villeneuve.”
Press ‘X’ to doubt: Dune is produced by WB and Mamoa was a producer on Minecraft (also WB), so this was done to keep him happy.
Ha! How delusional
Ah, the „I had to work twice as hard“ nepo mindset.
Yes, I’m sure that there are a ton of other actors with the surname Momoa running around.
Hahah! Yeah and M. Night Shymalans daughter is a powerhouse singer lol!! And Jaden Smith is a treasure on screen.
I’m sure that daddy being daddy had nothing at all to do with it.
If you need to say that then it’s definitely not by his own merit.
Plus it’s literally his FIRST movie. His debut movie is DUNE 3.
lol, wonder if he was able to keep a straight face while saying this.
I’m just happy for his son tbh i kinda got tired of this whole nepotism outcry everytime a celebrity’s kids get a role
It’s like actors think they’re going to combust if they admit that nepotism exists and they benefit from it….
Did he attend an open casting call with a fake last name or something lmao?
If you want to be proud of your kid- go for it. Say: “he’s a great actor!” Say, I’ve been watching him, and he’s going to knock it dead in Dune 3!
But don’t sit there and lie and say he got the job on his own. Like he can be a legitimately good actor, and you can be proud of him. And if that’s the case, Just say that. In fact-you don’t even have to address how he got the part.
But when you just tell lies like that, it makes you and your son look bad.
Its so much better if they just own up to it and admit that yes even if the parent didn’t directly cast them they still have advantages the average actor their age didn’t get or have access to.
Typical, would rather the son complete the Golden Path and not the father
Drop th act and just admit it for Christ’s sake. We already know its true and still watch the movies. Take Patrick Schwarzenegger on White Lotus, the guys is a fantastic actor and I loved him in that role. But nepotism played a huge part in setting his life up such that he could land that role. Bro it’s basically fine, we’re cool, just don’t try and BS us.
You don’t have to lie.
At this point I just assume they’re rage-baiting
I don’t understand why people can’t just admit their influence has affects on people. It doesn’t take away the fact that his kid might really be talented. But that probably comes from being in acting classes since he was a young kid. Even if his dad didn’t influence anyone just having access to those resources gives him an advantage.
As if Momoa could be more unlikable.
He’s just a dad trying to give his son some credit, cut the dude some slack for now. If his acting sucks in Dune 3, then let loose.
An actor insisting that their kid landed a role on merit has to be about as truthful as a Fox News segment
You wanna know how to m tell if something isn’t a nepotism situation? If the parent comes out publicly and states emphatically that it has nothing to do with them. Why would they lie right?
I wish actors would just take the Jack Quaid approach and acknowledge that they benefitted from nepotism. It’s not the end of the world. No one is saying they don’t work hard; we’re just saying they got their foot in the door based on who they’re related to.
his son look weird af lmao
I’m gonna watch before I cast judgement, it’s possible he got the opportunity through nepotism and is actually talented.
