\u201cI can see being really pissed that I got this role, as someone else,” Dylan told W<\/a> after dad Sean Penn<\/strong><\/a> directed her in the 2021 drama Flag Day. At the same time, she added, as a working actress “I’ve been auditioning forever. I’ve been rejected forever.”<\/p>\n

Regarding the kerfuffle over her brother starring in a Spielberg-daughter-directed short, Dylan stressed, “This is the business. It is about who you know. Always. Whether you’re the son of Sean Penn or not.”<\/p>\n

Hopper, who made his movie debut in Sean’s film The Last Face, told E! News in February that the nepo baby conversation didn’t really affect him<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I’m like, ‘If you like it, cool. If you don’t, great,'” he explained, having just made Devil’s Peak with mom Robin Wright<\/strong><\/a>. “And if you think that there’s nepotism going on, I really don’t care because I’m gonna do the work just as professional as everybody else, and I’m not gonna come there and do it half-ass because I’m working with my dad, I’m working with my mom.'”<\/p>\n

Working with his father, Hopper noted, was the same “great nightmare” for him as it was for all the other actors who weren’t related to the director.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And on any project, he added, “if I messed up on the film the first day, I’d be fired just like everyone else. Or, if I was terrible, I’ll be terrible. And I have been terrible.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
