Hailey Bieber, proud to be a “nepo baby”

Now that America’s dad, Tom Hanks, stood up for the children of celebrities who work in Hollywood, it’s clear you’re nobody in town if you are not a so-called «nepo baby», as the children of celebs who became famous only thanks to the success and hard work previously done by their parents are defined.

The discussion of nepotism in show business reached a peak of interest after the magazine New York has published ain-depth analysis of this phenomenon, to tell the truth not brand new.

Some celebs reacted without particular pathos, others with more vehemence.

Jamie Lee Curtis has always openly said that the producers realized that the role of Laurie Strode in Halloween it suited her, whether or not she was the daughter of superstar Janet Leigh. For her, she complained that this thing about her mother is still reminded of her after decades of work “it’s something that she basically tries to belittle, to denigrate and hurt”.

Allison Williamsdaughter of Brian Williams, has recently stated that “there is no conversation about my career without talking about how lucky I was to be the daughter of”, but she then added with maturity and confidence that “if you trust your abilities, I think it is very easy to recognize it”.

And now it also enters the picture Hailey Bieberthe wife of Justin Bieberdaughter of Stephen Baldwin and therefore grandson of Alec Baldwin. The 26-year-old model and TV host, who launched a skincare line last year, was spotted in a Los Angeles parking lot wearing low-rise jeans and a T-shirt with the now-fashionable phrase ” Nepo baby».

Last year, Hailey called the media “a disgusting thing» and sparked quite a bit of controversy when he revealed that fans of Selena Gomez they still send her hateful comments (Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber dated years ago, in case you forgot). What’s more, the launch of her skincare products didn’t go as smoothly as she would have liked, so much so that she had to file a lawsuit (which was eventually dismissed).

She is the daughter of famous ones from all over, even from her mother’s branch. Bieber’s maternal grandfather is the 80-year-old Brazilian singer-songwriter, musician and producer Eumir Deodatus, winner of a Grammy. As a producer and arranger, he has worked with a number of successful jazz and pop artists, including Astrud Gilberto, Roberta Flack, Bjork and even Frank Sinatra. He has produced several Kool & the Gang records, including the very famous Celebration. Keep that in mind the next time a DJ brings out that old workhorse at a wedding, and score points by saying, “Hey, Hailey Bieber’s grandpa helped put this song together!”

In 1974, Deodato achieved his greatest success (and won the Grammy for best pop instrumental song) with the song Also Sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss, commonly known as Theme from 2001 (later used in the Hal Ashby-Peter Sellers film Being There). The song peaked at number 2 on the Hot 100’s Billboard (the 70s!) and was attended by a number of jazz luminaries such as Ron Carter, Airto Moreira, Stanley Clarke, Billy Cobham and Ray Barretto. The jam rock band Phish he usually plays the Deodato arrangement in concert, the last time last New Year’s Eve at Madison Square Garden.
