On Tuesday, June 25th, Emma Roberts made an appearance on the popular podcast “Table For Two.” During the episode, the actress fielded questions about her career, including whether she had aimed to become a major movie star like her father, Eric Roberts, and her aunt, Julia Roberts. Emma revealed that achieving A-list status was not always her ambition, as she had witnessed firsthand the challenges and pitfalls that come with fame, particularly through her aunt’s experiences.
“I’ve witnessed closely what that lifestyle looks like. It’s enjoyable and rewarding, but there’s also a daunting side to it. That’s why I’ve always aimed to carve my own path. Fame has never been my goal, especially because it can be intimidating at a certain level,” Roberts explained.
Given her close familial ties to Hollywood icons Eric Roberts and Julia Roberts, Emma Roberts has often faced accusations of nepotism throughout her entertainment career. She addressed these criticisms on the podcast, acknowledging the dual-edged nature of being from a showbiz family.
“There’s two sides of the coin. People like to say, you know, you have a leg up because you have family in the industry. But then the other side to that is, you have to prove yourself more. Also, if people don’t have good experiences with other people in your family, then you’ll never get a chance,” she remarked.
Emma also pushed back against the prevalent criticism of nepotism in entertainment, noting that despite her father’s established Hollywood career, she has encountered her share of challenges.
The MTV Award-winning actress concluded by criticizing online critics who target “nepo babies,” emphasizing that they only see the successes and not the numerous rejections and struggles along the way. She emphasized her openness about auditions she hasn’t succeeded in, aiming to provide a more balanced perspective on her journey.
On the professional front, Emma Roberts recently starred in the superhero film “Madame Web,” portraying Mary Parker. She also has two upcoming projects, “Space Cadet” and “Saurus City,” currently in post-production.
