Emma Roberts has shared her thoughts about nepotism in the entertainment business.
艾玛·罗伯茨分享了她对娱乐圈裙带关系的看法。
The daughter of actor Eric Roberts and niece of Oscar-winner Julia Roberts was asked about debate over “nepo babies” in a recent conversation on the “Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi” podcast.
这位埃里克·罗伯茨的女儿和奥斯卡影后朱莉娅·罗伯茨的侄女，在最近一期“Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi”播客节目中被问及关于“星二代”的争议。
“People like to say, ‘Oh, you know, you have a leg up because you’re a family in the industry.’ But then the other side to that is, you know, you have to prove yourself more,” she said. “Also, if people don’t have good experience being to be with other people in your family, then you’ll never get a chance.”
她说：“人们喜欢说，‘哦，你知道吗，因为你是业内的家族成员，所以你就有优势。’但另一方面，你也知道，你必须证明自己的实力。” “此外，如果人们和你家族中的其他人相处得不好，那么你将永远没有机会。”
Roberts added that if “you’re not the girl from the middle of nowhere that broke into Hollywood,” there’s “an eye roll of like, ‘Well, your dad was this.’”
罗伯茨补充道，如果“你不是一个从不知名地方闯入好莱坞的女孩”，人们就会“轻蔑地翻白眼，好像在说，‘哦，你爸爸是干这个的。’”
“Young girls, I feel like, get it harder with the nepo baby thing. I don’t really see people calling out you know, sons of famous actors. Not that they should be called that. I don’t think anyone should be called out wanting to follow their dreams.”
“我觉得年轻女孩们在‘星二代’这个问题上更难应对。我并不真的看到人们指责那些著名演员的儿子们。当然他们也不应该被这样称呼。我认为任何人都不应该被指责追求自己的梦想。”
She joked, “I’m like, ‘Why is no one calling out George Clooney for being a nepo baby?’ Rosemary Clooney [his aunt] was an icon.”
她开玩笑说：“我就在想，‘为什么没有人指责乔治·克鲁尼是‘星二代’呢?’罗丝玛丽·克鲁尼(他的姑姑)是一位偶像。”
Roberts, whose more than 60 film and television credits include “We’re the Millers” and “American Horror Story, started acting as a child, but said her career path hasn’t been seamless.
罗伯茨拥有超过60部影视作品的资历，包括《冒牌家庭》和《美国恐怖故事》，她从小就开始演戏，但她说她的职业生涯并非一帆风顺。
“People kind of only see your wins because they only see when you’re on the poster of a movie. They don’t see all the rejection along the way,” she said. “I think it’s important to talk about because otherwise people just think, ‘Oh, you know, everything’s been so great and linear and easy, and it’s like, no… not at all. But of course it looks like that to the outside perspective or to the naked eye.”
她说：“人们往往只看到你的成功，因为他们只看到你出现在电影海报上的时候。他们看不到这一路上的所有拒绝。” “我认为谈论这一点很重要，因为否则人们就会想，‘哦，你知道，一切都那么美好、顺利和容易’，但实际上并不是这样。当然，从外部视角或肉眼看来，它看起来就是这样。”
