It is true that he likely received special treatment because of his parents, and it is just as true that it is dismissive to call him a nepo baby.
That’s a specifically derogatory infantilizing name that dismisses the entirety of an actor’s own work and attributes it solely and dismissively to their genetic legacy.
Successful movie stars, especially those with successful parents, do need to be coddled, but infantilizing someone and misattributing all of their success and their very personhood is dismissive and insulting.

Reckon why you got so many downvotes, bud?

Self-consciousness plays a role, I expect, with a dose of the 'spose-tas.

Is it possible that you’re wrong?

With the anti-bullying comments? No, but I’m always willing to entertain the possibility if you have a specific point.
Of course your comments are downvoted also, so you’re not really starting out on the right foot with that argument.
