Following New York Magazine’s cover story on nepotism in Hollywood, the topic of ‘nepo babies’ has been a hot debate. Eve Hewson, the daughter of U2’ Bono, recently joined the conversation with a sarcastic response. In her tweets, Eve expressed her disappointment in not being featured in the article as a nepo baby.
In her first tweet, Eve Hewson wrote, “Gonna get nepo baby tattooed on my a**.” Following that, the beautiful actress expressed her sadness over not seeing herself in the article, writing, “Actually pretty devastated I’m not featured in the nepo baby article like haven’t they seen my hit show ‘Bad Sisters’? The nerve.”

Eve continued making fun of the ‘nepo baby label’ and wrote, “2023 goals: be successful enough to get recognized as a nepo baby.” When fans alerted her that she was already on a similar article, she said, “I have just been made aware I hit my 2023 goals, and it’s still 2022.”

Since New York Magazine wrote ‘The Nepotism Babies Of Hollywood’ and declared 2022 as ‘the year of the nepo baby,’ Hollywood stars who have parents in the industry responded to the criticism. Lily Allen, Anaïs Gallagher, and Zoë Kravitz were among the ones who joined the debate. While Anaïs and Zoë agreed that their parents’ names impacted their careers, Lily said the real problem is professionals in other industries benefiting from nepotism.
Hewson has appeared in the Netflix psychological thriller ‘Behind Her Eyes,’ ‘The Knick,’ and ‘The Luminaries.’ Her most recent project is the Apple+ TV black comedy ‘Bad Sisters,’ and it seems she’s surprised it missed the media’s attention. As inferred from her tweets, Eve decided it’s best to use humor to criticize the ‘nepo babies’ debate.
