Sam Nivola, 21, is getting candid about the nepo baby label and addressed finding success in the entertainment industry as the son of actors Emily Mortimer and Alessandro Nivola.
“Other than my genes, I don’t think I can attribute much of my success to my parents. I feel proud that I’ve done it for myself, and sometimes in spite of them. I didn’t get my dad’s agent to call up so-and-so. I did it by myself. I didn’t want to give anyone an excuse to be able to say that anything I’ve achieved has been because of anyone other than me. And I’m proud of that.”
