Brazilian Star Fernanda Torres Calls for Shift in Hollywood’s ‘Nepo Baby’ Debate Following Golden Globe Win

Fernanda Torres, the Brazilian actress who recently won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Drama, is speaking out against Hollywood's fixation on "nepo babies." She believes this conversation distracts from more critical issues of inequality. Torres received the award for her subtle performance in "I'm Still Here." Coming from a notable entertainment family—she is the daughter of acclaimed actress Fernanda Montenegro—Torres embraces her background while critiquing the industry's focus on nepotism. "I'm now the nepo baby person that proved that a nepo baby is worth living," Torres said in an interview with IndieWire after her win. She expressed her disdain for the notion that individuals with connections should be dismissed outright, arguing, "You don't have to kill a nepo baby as soon as he is born. This idea is ancient; people learn from their surroundings." The term "nepo baby" gained traction after a viral article in New York Magazine highlighted familial ties in Hollywood. Torres argues that this debate detracts from tackling systemic issues like education and health care. "The real fight is for good education for everyone," she emphasized. "Inequality isn't just about the opportunities nepo babies have. You could eliminate all nepo babies, and it wouldn't fix inequality. We need to focus on taxing great fortunes and ensuring health and education for all." At age 59, Torres's Golden Globe win marks a significant achievement in her career. The victory sparked celebrations in Brazil, with President Lula tweeting his congratulations and the mayor of Rio de Janeiro offering a festive welcome home on a firetruck. In the award-winning film directed by Walter Salles, Torres portrays Eunice Paiva, a Brazilian lawyer and activist who bravely opposed the military dictatorship in the 1970s after her husband was forcibly disappeared. This role marks a reunion with Salles, who previously directed her in "Foreign Land" and "Midnight" during the 1990s. Growing up surrounded by theater, Torres reflects on the influence of her actor parents: "The dining table of my house was where my parents rehearsed. Being a nepo baby doesn't mean your life is easy. In fact, you have to find your own way." As awards season progresses, Torres may become only the second Brazilian actress nominated for an Oscar, following her mother's nomination for "Central Station" in 1999. She continues to advocate for shifting the conversation from hereditary privilege to systemic change, stating, "Today, we are engaged in many misguided battles. We need to focus on fighting inequality, taxing great fortunes, and regulating the digital world. Those are the real issues."

Fernanda Torres, the Brazilian actress who won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Drama, doesn’t like how Hollywood is so focused on “nepo babies.” She thinks this conversation distracts from more important issues of inequality.

The award went to Torres for her quiet performance in “I’m Still Here.” Torres comes from a famous entertainment family; her mother is the famous actress Fernanda Montenegro. She is proud of her background but criticizes the entertainment business for focusing too much on nepotism.

In an interview with IndieWire after her win, Torres said, “I’m now the nepotism baby that proved that it’s worth living.” She disagreed with the idea that people with ties should be fired right away, saying, “You don’t have to kill a repo baby as soon as he is born.” People learn from their surroundings; this idea is very old.

The phrase “nepo baby” became popular after a New York Magazine story about family ties in Hollywood went viral. Torres says this debate distracts attention from systemic issues like health care and education.

She said, “The real fight is for good education for everyone.” There is more to inequality than just the chances that nepotism kids get. It wouldn’t fix injustice to get rid of all nepotism babies. Focus on taxing those with a lot of money and ensuring everyone has access to health care and education.

The 59-year-old Torres’s Golden Globe win is a big deal in her work. Brazil celebrated the win. President Lula tweeted to congratulate the winner, and the mayor of Rio de Janeiro sent a firetruck to greet the winner as he arrived home.

In Walter Salles’s award-winning film, Torres plays Eunice Paiva, a lawyer and activist from Brazil who bravely fought against the military regime in the 1970s after her husband was taken away against her will. This part brings her back together with Salles, who directed her in “Foreign Land” and “Midnight” in the 1990s.

Growing up in a theater-loving family, Torres thinks about how her actor parents shaped her: “The dining room table was where my parents practiced.” It’s not easy to be a nepotism baby. You have to find your way.”

As awards season goes on, Torres could become the second Brazilian actress nominated for an Oscar. The first was her mother, nominated for “Central Station” in 1999. She keeps pushing for the conversation to shift from inherited privilege to structural change, saying, “Today, we are fighting many pointless battles.” Fighting inequality, taxing the rich, and keeping the internet world safe are the things we need to focus on. The actual issues are those.
