## Resource

Catherine Zeta-Jones slams the term “nepo baby” as “horrific,” arguing it’s cruel to label kids of famous parents without acknowledging they didn’t choose their circumstances. Her children, Dylan and Carys—both pursuing acting and directing with real passion—are working hard to carve their own paths, something she’d push them away from if they weren’t truly dedicated. Reflecting on her own journey, she credits early theater exposure for steering her toward表演 over academia, eventually rising from West End stardom to global fame. Married to Michael Douglas since 1998, she’s proud of their kids’ efforts—and insists they deserve a fair shot without being defined by their pedigree.
