Kaia Gerber, one of the most in-demand models of the moment, gave an interview to the US edition of Elle magazine in which she spoke about one of the hottest topics in the entertainment world right now: nepotism.
Kaia Gerber is the daughter of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber. For years he has been the protagonist of the covers of fashion magazines, he has walked for the best brands in the world and has also started doing major advertising campaigns for companies such as Saint Laurent, Omega, of which his mother has also been the picture, Marc Jacobs and Celine .
“I will not deny the privilege I have. I feel very fortunate because I had a great source of information at home and someone who was able to give me very good advice. But my mother always jokes with this line: “For the record, if I could get a campaign for Chanel in one call, this job would be for me, not you.” The truth is that I have always met and now work with incredible people through my mother.

Though the 21-year-old model readily acknowledges that having one of the most influential figures in fashion as a mother where she is has helped her, she also notes that things are different in her acting career. “It’s very different in acting. No artist sacrifices their vision to attract someone’s child. That’s not how art is made, and that’s why I’m so interested in art. On the other hand, I don’t think anyone wants to work with someone who is unbearable, who is not easy to work with, and who is also not nice. Yes, it is clear that nepotism prevails, but I think if it really was what people think it would be seen even more ». Kaia Gerber has landed small supporting roles in films and television series in recent years. His latest work will soon premiere on Mrs. American Pie (Apple TV+), where he shares the screen with Laura Dern and Kristen Wiig.
