Kate Hudson answered, “The nepotism thing, I mean… I don’t really care. I look at my kids and we’re a storytelling family. It’s definitely in our blood.
“People can call it whatever they want, but it’s not going to change it… I actually think there are other industries where it’s [more common]. Maybe modelling?”
“I see it in a business way more than I see it in Hollywood. Sometimes I’ve been in business meetings where I’m like, wait, whose child is this? Like, this person knows nothing.”
Apart from that, Kate also said that she respects real talent, no matter where it comes from. She said “I don’t care where you come from, or what your relationship to the business is… If you work hard and you kill it, it doesn’t matter.”
