Kate Winslet rejects the 'nepo baby' label and argues that fame does not automatically provide job advantages for her children. Her eldest son, 21-year-old Joe Anders, wrote the screenplay for Goodbye June, which will hit Netflix on December 24. Anders collaborated with Winslet on the film, and family concern about perceptions of nepotism was acknowledged. Winslet emphasizes that children often gravitate toward parental careers but still need to earn jobs and respect from peers. Two of her three children have already made Hollywood debuts. Winslet urges ignoring the "white noise" of the nepo baby label.
