Or more commonly:
This sounds like a Norm Macdonald joke with the set up being the same as the punchline
Genuinely the best compliment I could have asked for
Ha! You’re welcome. I’m not one for celebrity worship but I miss him. Feels like not a day goes by that I don’t think of one of his jokes and cheers me up a little
Nah, that's not fair, this is how it usually goes:
His parent was a famous actors/director, he got his break when his parent worked a project that needed a baby in shot, and brought him with them when he was 2 weeks, cementing his legacy from a young age.
Almost, but not quite:
His parents were a famous actors/directors, he got concieved because the producer said they wanted a baby in the scene to help audiences empathize better (unused footage; from the dvd commentary only). Unfortuately the government bent to protests from people that wouldn't allow the studio to warehouse him as a prop, cementing his legacy from a young age.
Yeah, I read something about Chris Pine the other day in this fashion. And he would say he's not a nepo baby. I like some movies and stuff he's done, I think he does a fine job, but it's a little insulting to claim you're not a nepo baby when, in fact, you are the definition of a nepo baby.
