Stellan Skarsgård Reveals Son Faces Bullying Over Nepo Baby Label

Stellan Skarsgård recently addressed the topic of nepotism in an interview, expressing that he considers himself a "nepo daddy" because he benefits from goodwill and opportunities potentially due to his children, rather than the other way around. The Swedish actor, known for roles in films like Good Will Hunting and Mamma Mia, has eight children, most of whom are actors, including well-known names like Alexander, Gustaf, and Bill Skarsgård. He highlighted the struggles of his youngest son, 13-year-old Kolbjörn, who faces bullying and social isolation at school for being labeled a "nepo baby." Stellan criticized the cruelty and ignorance behind such labels, emphasizing that no one would be hired for good roles without talent. Kolbjörn himself is building his acting career, appearing in projects like the Swedish TV show Blood Cruise and the Netflix series Clark. Stellan also shared his pride in his children and noted that nepotism is often misunderstood, with his family not fitting the typical negative narrative associated with the term.
