Catherine Zeta-Jones voiced her thoughts about the children of famous parents, stating they should not be blamed for the families they were born into. The actor shares two children, Dylan and Carys, with Michael Douglas. Both have grown up with famous parents and are familiar with the attention that comes with being part of a well-known family.

Addressing the criticism faced by celebrity children, Zeta-Jones said: "They didn't ask to be born into fame." She acknowledges that her children have had opportunities many other young people may not have, given their parents' fame, strong Hollywood connections, and upbringing around the film industry.

However, she feels that none of this is something Dylan and Carys chose for themselves. Both are now carving out their own paths, with Dylan pursuing acting and Carys showing an interest in fashion and modelling. Their prominent lineage extends further; Michael Douglas is the son of Hollywood legend Kirk Douglas, meaning Dylan and Carys have grown up surrounded by generations of stardom.

While the debate over "nepo babies" has intensified in recent years amid arguments that famous parents provide an unfair professional advantage, Zeta-Jones believes children should not be judged simply for the families into which they were born.
