Ryan Phillippe is drawing the line at the criticism of nepo babies especially when children want to follow in their famous parents footsteps.
“Of course, that's what they've grown up around. By the way, that familiarity makes them handle some of what is hard about this industry,” he explained. “You’ve gotta have a thick skin. There’s so much rejection and nasty things that can be said about you. It’s not all celebration.' Ava and Deacon have both decided to pursue their own paths in Hollywood. Since graduating college, Ava has focused on her modeling career and Deacon — a current student at New York University — has released original music. He dropped his debut LP, A New Earth, in April 2023 and his parents and older sister attended the album release party.As Deacon continues to mark milestones in his career, Phillippe can't help but boast about his son.
