vittoria Ceretti is one of the most popular Italian supermodels of the moment. Accustomed to parading on the most important international catwalks, she made herself known in our country by the general public – even by those who are not used to following fashion shows – last year at the Sanremo Festival. Indeed it was one of the co-presenters of the event, alongside Amadeus and Fiorello. Now the supermodel he made headlines because of some statements against the so-called “nepo baby”.
Who are the “nepo babies”?
“Nepo baby” is the abbreviation of “nepotism baby”. They mean, in jargon, the children of celebrities who – even if they don’t stand out for particular artistic talents like their parents – still manage to occupy positions of power within a certain context. All thanks to the network of acquaintances of one’s VIP mom or dad.
In recent days, the daughter of actor Johnny Depp and his ex-girlfriend, French actress Vanessa Paradis, has released an interview with Elle which has traveled around the world. Indeed, in her dialogue with the journalist, the 23-year-old Lily-Rose Depp she wanted to state that she was not helped in her career by being the daughter of her parents. “People are always biased about how you ‘get’ somewhere, but I can tell you that no one will let you get there if you’re not right for the role. It’s like getting your foot in the door. There is a lot of work that comes later, to be able to enter».
Lily-Rose Depp statements
Lily-Rose, after being Chanel ambassador at just 16 years old, has had important experiences in the world of cinema. The last of these is the new HBO series The Idolcreated by the creator of Euphoria and due out in 2023, in which she stars alongside The Weeknd. But despite this the “daughter of” theme is always there. “I’m used to. The Internet seems to care a lot about this sort of thing».
It’s still. “The internet cares a lot more about who your family is than about the people casting you a side. If someone’s mom or dad is a doctor, and then their child becomes a doctor, you don’t feel like, “Well, you’re a doctor just because one of your parents is a doctor.” The question is, “No, I went to medical school and practiced.”
Finally, with respect to the trial between his father and ex-wife Amber Heard, Lily-Rose Depp chose not to comment. “When it comes to something so private and so personal that it suddenly becomes not so personal… I really feel entitled to my secret garden of thoughts.” And she returned to the subject of nepotism. «I also think that I’m not here to answer to anyone and I feel like for most of my career people have really wanted to define me through the men in my life, whether it’s my family members or my boyfriends».
