Jack Quaid acknowledges 'nepo baby' label: 'The door was open for me'

Jack Quaid recently reflected on his "nepo baby" label, considering himself as an "immensely privileged person" after his father heaped praise on his work as a versatile actor.

During an interview with The Daily Beast's The Last Laugh podcast, Quaid, who is the son of actors Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan, revealed his thoughts on coming from a popular family.

In response to a question about appearing in romantic comedies, he explained: "It was a little bit of a conscious decision to not do it as much. It's just got to be right, because, you know, my mom is the undisputed queen of rom-coms. So I can't just get into that space, it's got to be right."

Jack continued when pressed on the topic: "No matter what I do, people are going to call attention to it. People have called me a 'nepo baby'. I'm inclined to agree. I am an immensely privileged person, was able to get representation pretty early on, and that's more than half the battle."

"I knew the door was open for me in a lot of ways that it's just not for a lot of actors. And I've just tried to work as hard as I possibly can to prove that I deserve to walk through that door."

However, this came after Meg Ryan didn't approve of calling his son Jack as a 'nepo baby,' referring to him as a 'natural' more than he'll ever be.
