Gwyneth Paltrow admits ‘nepo baby’ advantage helped land early Steven Spielberg role

Gwyneth Paltrow isn’t shying away from the "nepo baby" label.

The Oscar winner candidly acknowledged the perks of being a Hollywood "nepo baby" while revealing that one of her earliest film roles came not from an audition — but from a casual car ride with her famous godfather, Steven Spielberg.

During a SAG-AFTRA Foundation Conversations event earlier this month, Paltrow reflected on landing her role in 1991’s "Hook," directed by Spielberg, after she was asked what the casting process looked like for the film.
