Recently, Reddit user Chewie83 asked, "Who are some nepo babies that never made it despite every advantage they had going for them?" and there were some pretty brutal answers. Here are the celeb kids who people think have majorly failed to live up to their famous relatives.

1. Jaden Smith (Jada Pinkett and Will Smith's son)

"I saw what I believe was his first nepo-baby movie. The entire movie felt like it was written so that Will's kid could try being a movie star. It was the utmost garbage. ... The most memorable feature of the film was how fucking bad it was."

—u/captainMaluco

"He kinda lost the plot with his Icon song (and video). Little dude, you've done nothing to earn that title."

—u/headhurt21

"What's sad is he actually has solid music, but he leaned away from that. His album ERYS is genuinely phenomenal, and his others are solid. He just dipped from music. No matter what, though, he has my respect for his healthy food truck that feeds people experiencing homelessness around LA for free."

—uKingBlackthorn1

"He also provided safe drinking water for Flint MI when politicians did absolutely fuck all."

2. Brooklyn Beckham (Victoria and David Beckham's son)

"Sometimes, two talented people have Brooklyn Beckhams for sons."

—u/jamesflanagangreer

"Brooklyn was just never going to truly stack up with his dad, at least, in being a really good footballer. It's just something a child of wealth and privilege isn't going to become. Not at that top level. You need to be the kid banging a ball against a wall for hours every day in a park or garden in the rain. Endlessly practicing that whole foot and ball interaction. That's how you get to be David Beckham.

To perform at that level, you probably need to hit the 10,000 hours to be an expert level by 15 or so. That's how a lot of the really good players get to be so good. Running around after a ball for literally hours, most days, for their entire childhoods since they were 5. And then you need to keep going and really learn tactics and all the rest. Given other options, kids tend not to do that. And kids like Brooklyn have so many other options."

—u/FortifiedPuddle

"That blurry elephant photo is burned into my brain. I can't remember the insipid caption, but I remember it being almost as spectacular."

—u/becooldocrime

"Something along the lines of 'majestic but very hard to photograph,' which makes it even better for me."

—u/Baaaaaah-baaaaaah

"Bless him, he posts videos of himself once every few months baking a potato. 'I'm a chef.' Fella — you're just making dinner, like everyone else has to."

—u/whiterrabbbit

3. Alexa Ray Joel (Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley's daughter)

"Alexa Ray Joel. I apologize in advance if you clicked that link and listened to that song."

—u/roguex99

4. Nicola Peltz (billionaire Nelson Peltz's daughter)

"Daughter of billionaire (and noted republican donor) Nelson Peltz and married to David Beckham's kid. Her most notable role was Katara in the live-action Last Airbender movie. ... She also wrote and directed a film called Lola about a poor exotic dancer in an abusive relationship that the Guardian review described as 'poverty porn.'"

—u/TooSmalley

"I think if her two breakout roles weren't Transformers 4 and fricking Avatar: the Last Airbender (2010), she may have had some chance. But those two destroyed her completely."

—u/Bigicefire

5. Cameron Douglas (Michael Douglas' son)

"Cameron Douglas, son of Michael Douglas and grandson of Kirk Douglas, who ended up going to prison for almost eight years."

—u/Broncho_Knight

"He had time added on to his original sentence because he was smuggling drugs into prison."

—u/oldpooper

6. Chet Hanks (Tom Hanks' son)

All Praise Records / Via youtube.com

Suggested by u/lazeeassedmenace

"Madness that he had one son who followed him in the same career (and while he's never going to be a name the same way Tom Hanks is/was, he's done solid work), followed up by Mister 'White Boy Summer' himself."

—u/throwawaylordof

"One of his for real lyrics: 'I'll stab you in the peep hole/with a ski pole."

—u/NotaSpaceAlienISwear

"It has more to do with his choices. He's undeniably handsome, has some weird energy/charisma of a sort, and when he wants to act, he can actually do it competently.

If he weren't obsessed with Black culture and had better impulse control, he would easily succeed."

—u/Tall-Hurry-342

"I mean, when you're publicly fighting people because you think you can just use the n-word whenever you want, that's a problem."

—u/Fidget808

7. Henry Hopper (Dennis Hopper's son)

Pascal Le Segretain / Getty Images

"I really think his dad, Dennis Hopper, is one of the best actors of the 20th century. His son made his debut in 2011 in Gus van Sant's movie Restless. I think he had decent talent; he could have been an indie actor, but turned out to have allegedly raped a girl (The case, as I remember, was settled out of court) He was in several James Franco projects after 2011 and now keeps a low profile."

—Adept-Youth-7538

Editor's note: Hopper denies the rape— of a 15-year-old girl when he was 20 — occurred. The lawsuit was brought by the girl's mother for emotional damages. The commenter is correct that the lawsuit was settled, and the allegation did not go to trial or lead to a criminal conviction.

8. Sean Lennon (John Lennon and Yoko Ono's son)

Suggested by u/ChoakIsland

"He gets his musical ability from his mother's side, obviously."

—u/Away-Tank4094

"He's actually quite talented, but his recent Twitter stuff is concerning. His music with Les Claypool is really, really good (The Claypool Lennon Delirium)."

—u/Turdburp

"He might be a real twat, but The Claypool Lennon delirium recorded some real bangers and at least one really solid album (Monolith of Phobos)."

—u/ItzakPearlJam

9. Jaycee Chan (Jackie Chan's son)

"Jaycee Chan is the son of the most famous actor in the world, but he never seemed to pop off in his music or acting career."

—u/Hammerheadshark55

[Editor's note: Chan also spent time in prison after being indicted for "sheltering others to use drugs," after initially being arrested for marijuana possession. Over 100g of marijuana was found in his home. He was released after six months, but it was a major blow to his career.]

10. Brooke Hogan (Hulk Hogan's daughter)

Suggested by u/mom_bombadill

"I'm sorry, but 'About Us' is a bop.

Edit: Okay, I just listened to it for the first time in years, and it is actually not a bop. But it does remind me of Lindsey Lohan's 'Rumors,' which is a bop.

Edit 2: Okay, I just listened to Rumors and it's actually not a bop either (but closer).

Sad night for gay preteen me from 20 years ago.

Edit 3: Thank you for all the support. This was actually heartbreaking, lmao.

Edit 4: This entire experiment has absolutely FUCKED my Spotify suggestions."

—u/Wheres_MyMoney

11. And Nick Bollea/Nick Hogan (son of Hulk Hogan)

Gregg DeGuire / FilmMagic via Getty Images

"My vote would be for Nick Hogan. The Hogans were on top of the VH1 food chain in the 2000s. The piece of shit caused a crash that left his friend brain damaged and still sent on to be a shitty little brat trying make it as an actor/DJ. His sister had moderate success as a singer. ... I don't count her as a failure, because she at least seems happy doing what she does, whereas he just seems pathetic."

—u/kiruopaz

12. Scott Eastwood (Clint Eastwood's son)

Mark Von Holden/Variety via Getty Images

"He's got all the makings to be a leading man — he's stunning and has a name to back him up — but he's a god awful actor."

—u/Ok_Radish649

13. Trace and/or Noah Cyrus (Billy Ray Cyrus' kids, and also Miley Cyrus' siblings)

Suggested by u/SuccessfullySchuyler

"I actually really like Noah's voice and the songs I've heard. I kind of don't get why she's not more popular, unless it's just what happens when you're the sibling to someone as famous as Miley."

—u/xxrachinwonderlandxx

"Trace Cyrus' band had a song go top ten in 12 countries. He made it more than anybody in these comments ever has or will."

—u/IDigRollinRockBeer

14. Barry van Dyke (Dick van Dyke's son)

Albert L. Ortega / Getty Images

"He was even a loser in Diagnosis Murder with his dad."

—u/TurbulentBullfrog829

"To be fair, I thought he was one of the better actors in Galactica 1980, but yeah, I’m grading on a bell curve there."

—u/Ok_Possession4223

"The show was okay at that time. He is wooden, yes."

—u/DrNCrane74

15. Lance Stroll (son of billionaire and Aston Martin chairperson Lawrence Stroll)

Mark Sutton - Formula 1/Formula 1 via Getty Images

"Aston Martin F1 Driver Lance Stroll. Daddy owns the team and is CEO. He's been on the team for years, and they switch teammates every year, hoping he will become a better driver. But he hardly comes close to winning any points and gets hurt all the time. [And if you look him up, he has a punchable face.]"

—u/Javy_V88

"Any minute now, he'll be a world champion."

—u/IllustratorMammoth87

16. Summer, Rain, and Liberty Phoenix (sisters of Joaquin and River Phoenix)

Chelsea Lauren/Variety/Penske Media via Getty Images

"Depends on what you mean by 'made it.' There are five Phoenix siblings. Joaquin and River made it big. Summer and Rain have a string of acting credits on IMDb, but most people probably haven't heard of those movies. Liberty has two acting credits from the '80s. Maybe she just didn't want to be a professional actor."

—u/SentrySappinMahSpy

17. Shadeur Sanders (Deion Sanders' son)

Nick Cammett / Getty Images

"Shadeur Sanders is on his way to that. Up until now, he has had Daddy Prime to protect him, but now that he has reached the NFL, we will see if he is truly legendary.

He is a short-range passer who blames everyone but himself when things go bad and has been able to hide behind his father his entire time playing.

We will see how he adjusts when that isn't possible."

—u/pyratemime

18. Jake Bongiovi (Bon Jovi’s son)

Visit Dubai / Via youtube.com

"Does Bon Jovi's son even try to do anything? I've always wondered why we hear anything about him."

—u/Famous-Spare-8860

"He married Millie Bobbie Brown."

—u/Nakagura775

"He's doing shitty ads promoting Dubai."

—u/JeremyTwiggs

19. Ishana Night Shyamalan (daughter of M. Night Shyamalan)

Dominik Bindl / WireImage via Getty Images

"Sadly, she inherited M.Night's latter 'talent' for directing. If you think The Watchers was a good film, go read the book."

—u/MD564

20. And her sister Saleka

Michael Buckner/Variety via Getty Images

"It's embarrassing how much M. Night used Trap as a vehicle for his daughter's garbage music. Somehow, though, she's an even worse actor than she is a musician."

—u/OG_Pow

21. Harley Quinn Smith (Kevin Smith's daughter)

Paul Archuleta / Getty Images

"Little to no roles outside of being cast in her dad’s movies."

—u/sweetmotherofodin

22. Bronny James (LeBron James' son)

Ric Tapia / Getty Images

"Bronny James."

—u/Caesars7Hills

"I feel bad for nepo athletes like Bronny James and Arch Manning — they could genuinely have talent (more Arch here than Bronny, I think Bronny was drafted too young so they could have him play on the same team as LeBron), but no matter what they do they will constantly be negatively compared to their relatives."

—u/BuckeyeFoodie

23. Sarah Paxton (Bill Paxton's cousin)

Jon Kopaloff / Getty Images

"Sarah Paxton is a cousin of Bill Paxton. She's worked steadily for years, but again, mostly in pretty low-profile projects. I'd hardly call her hugely famous. She did recently have a run on the Peacock show, Based on a True Story, but unfortunately, that show got cancelled after 2 seasons. Her character was being set up to be a major character in Season 3 had it been picked up again."

—u/SentrySappinMahSpy

24. Lourdes Leon (Madonna's daughter)

Victor Boyko / Getty Images for Yves Saint Laurent Beauté

"Lourdes Leon. It seems she has no talent for anything."

—u/NorthMathematician32

"She has 'stay out of controversy' talent, and that goes a looooooong way."

—u/magician_type-0

"She did a decent enough job, back when she was trying for an Editorial Fashion modeling track! She's got unique features and enough of an IDGAF attitude that the pictures usually turned out well--and she understood the assignment, when it came to 'Showcase the clothes, and make the picture interesting!' But outside that niche area, I'm not sure what else she's done."

—u/EmmerdoesNOTrepme

"Her music is experimental and has some niche following. It's not my thing, but I can appreciate staying away from her mom's music style."

—u/mahboilucas

25. And finally, Pete Rose Jr. (Pete Rose's son)

Bettmann / Bettmann Archive

"Because his father was a hero to the Reds, Pete Rose Jr wasted a good part of his life playing minor league ball for over 20 years, with 11 games in the Majors. He was a decent infielder who couldn't hit. If his father had at least given him a different name, teams wouldn't have wasted their time and effort on him."
