Definitely born rich.
She's kinda like the female Timothee Chalmette, who despite having talent, is like a soulless, nepo baby, engineered in a lab to be a famous actor. He's so unrelatable and was clearly trained to be an actor from birth.
The perfect actor to play Paul Artreides
I dunno, he's so tiny. The guy from the David Lynch dune looked more like a proper hero
He's not real, he's not real 😳
Let's play "name one famous person who got famous with absolutely no help." While y'all work on that I'm gonna catch a nap.
Spanish comedian Ignatius Farray. Dude was born into a poor family and was a loser with plenty of mental health issues, didn't gain notoriety until traditional entertainment industries in Spain lost ground to new online spaces, after a decade and a half of mediocre results.
You still have a point: it's far easier to become famous and successful when the cards are stacked in your favor, but that argument sucks because you only need one counter-example, which you definitely are going to find in a world with billions of people.
Plenty of artists of all kinds. Pick any 90s rapper for a start.
Name one succesful person who got where they are through no help.
