This is what Julia Barretto thinks about “nepo baby.”
ABS-CBN actress Julia Barretto was asked about “nepo baby,” and as someone whose parents are both celebrities, she has this answer.
Nepo baby is a noun that means “a notable or powerful person, such as a celebrity or politician, with a parent who is also notable or powerful, especially one whose industry connections are perceived as essential to their success.”
Recently, the kids of politicians and government officials were targeted by online criticism amid the buzzing issues and controversies regarding the anomalies in flood control projects. Recently, Julia Barretto, someone who falls under this category, was asked about what she thinks of “nepo baby.”
The 28-year-old actress shared her thoughts on the intensifying online discussion about the term. She is the daughter of actress Marjorie Barretto and Dennis Padilla. However, in her response, she made a strong and clear point.
On a serious tone, she quipped firmly, “Anak lang ako ni Marjorie, but I work hard for what I have. Period.”
The term “nepo baby” has surged online many years ago and frequently used in a derogatory way to call out celebrities and public figures believed to have gained an advantage through family connections. Recently, this has been widely used again because of the issues and allegations of corruption.
Meanwhile, Julia will be working with Enrique Gil again for a new series.
She said about the upcoming project, “Excited ako. Na-pitch ito sa akin, I guess one year ago na rin. And I’m really excited that Enrique is on board because the last time na nagkatrabaho kami ni Quen was in Mirabella. I was 16, 17 years old. So that was in 2014, more than a decade ago. So I’m excited for this reunion series and I’m really looking forward to working with Quen again,”
