Catherine Zeta-Jones criticizes the 'nepo baby' expression when talking about her children: 'They didn't ask to be born in this environment'

oglobo14 September 2026 at 20:00

Catherine Zeta-Jones, 56, harshly criticized the expression "nepo baby" in an interview with The Sunday Times newspaper. The actress called the term "horrible" and publicly expressed her annoyance with the way children of famous people are labeled by society.

The artist was talking about Dylan and Carys, her two children with Michael Douglas, who also decided to pursue careers in the entertainment industry. Dylan, 25, chose acting, while Carys, 23, has been dedicated to directing.

Catherine defended her children stating that they didn't ask to be born in this environment and that they take seriously the professional paths they chose. The actress emphasized that her children need to follow what they really enjoy, regardless of their family background.

Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones have been married for many years and formed a family together, with the two children now adults and building their own professional trajectories in the entertainment sector.

Why this matters

The article is of interest to Portuguese-speaking readers who follow the entertainment industry, as it shows how a public figure responds to a term increasingly used in the media to describe celebrity children. It also reflects the debate around privilege and merit in contemporary Hollywood, a topic that generates discussion among the public and critics.
