AceShowbiz - Emma Roberts has opened up about the public's perception of "nepo babies" and her journey in the entertainment industry. During a podcast interview, she highlighted that successful actors with family connections don't always have an easy path to stardom. Despite initial advantages, they face additional pressure to prove themselves and overcome potential negative experiences involving their family members.
Roberts acknowledged the dual nature of being a "nepo baby." While it may provide opportunities, it also brings scrutiny and expectations. She emphasized the importance of discussing the challenges faced behind the scenes and expressed her belief that people tend to perceive success as effortless from an outsider's perspective.
Despite her family connections, Roberts established her own successful career through roles in "Unfabulous", "Aquamarine", "Nancy Drew" and "American Horror Story". However, she still aspires to play a superhero with more action-packed scenes. Roberts appreciated her supporting role in "Madame Web" as Mary Parker, although she desired a more expansive role in the future.
She recently expressed her willingness to portray a witch character again and her fondness for comic book characters. Roberts reiterated that she has already played pregnant characters in "Madame Web" and "American Horror Story", highlighting the heroism involved in motherhood.
The experiences of "Madame Web" cast members varied, with Sydney Sweeney viewing it as a stepping stone for her career and Dakota Johnson describing negative reception as unsurprising. However, Emma Roberts maintained a positive outlook, emphasizing the opportunity to explore a unique world.
