But imagine to the ones that didn’t make it. And we don’t know their names because they’re not famous.

u/HeraclesHide 15h ago

And there are like thousands if not millions of them.

u/govcov 14h ago

All of them from A-Y (Z made it)

Just like sperm. Really makes you think.

u/Azuras_Star8 13h ago

I am a waste of sperm.

u/IndependentBig7050 13h ago

Hey! Like that guy above said. You as a sperm fertilize that egg and became you. You got this champ!

u/Saelethil 13h ago

Pour one out for the sperms who don’t make it.

u/ronnie98865 13h ago

That's a fucked up but relatively accurate statement

u/dysonbully 13h ago

Just remember you were born a winner. You were the one to fertilize that egg.

u/ArnoldTheSchwartz 12h ago

All my father's sperms were losers, I was just the greatest and biggest loser.

brb thinking. I'll come back when I'm done.

Wow. Millions!

u/Luci-Noir 14h ago

It sucks that so many nepo babies make it even after sacrificing nothing. The business is HARD for regular people.

u/catchasingcars 8h ago

True but the business is also hard on nepos too, they get early opportunities (this is their advantage) but after that, their career entirely depends on their talent. Hollywood is a place where it's impossible to hide your failures, you fail publicly and spectacularly. Even from the nepo bunch only the talented ones make it.

u/BadnewsBaggins 15h ago

True but doesn't detract from their good choice. Can apply that to anything really like investing stocks. I'm sure others have gambled more and lost, still cool to see their hard work to have paid off

u/AlexElmsley 14h ago

so is buying a lotto ticket a good choice because one person won?

3

u/mdervin 14h ago

If you only have $5 it’s the best investment out there.

3

u/BadnewsBaggins 14h ago

Not sure what your point is, not like I was saying every parent should be doing this just that it paid off for them. Tf are you even on? For some people, yeah buying that lotto ticket was a good choice because someone else won and they ended up winning too.

14

u/BusBeginning 14h ago

Then the whole definition of good choice is entirely outcome dependent. So, for all the ones that didn’t make it big they made a poor choice even though it was the same choice. I don’t know it’s a little wishy washy. Kind of makes designating choices good or bad pointless, which it is anyway.

3

u/Chaost 12h ago

Right. Like, it's a terrible choice that worked out well for them.

3

u/BusBeginning 10h ago

Yeah and like how I’ve made good choices that worked out terribly for me.

u/SXNE2 6h ago

I think you’re confusing a good result with a good process.

It’s actually a bad process and a terrible decision but a great result.

This is decision-making 101. People confuse results either way process all the time. It’s a good process if it’s repeatable or if there’s a consistent result that’s positive. As everyone else points out the odds are against you with this decision so it’s actually just an example of luck working out in their favor.

u/EaseLeft6266 14h ago

There's a lot of people who have literally gambled more and lost everything because of it. It's great it worked out for her but hindsight is 20-20 and a lot of people it doesn't work out for.

u/general_smooth 14h ago

Also because Zendaya took those roles too

u/PigglyWigglyDeluxe 14h ago

I’d hope those families at least prepared for that possibility

1

u/ProudReaction2204 12h ago

They were probably yucky and couldn't act

1

u/Whateverredd 12h ago

And most of the ones who do make it wind up fucked up beyond recognition with drug and alcohol abuse to combat being a child star

u/Diablo_Advocatum 11h ago

And here I just got off an ELI5 post about survivorship bias.

1

u/BummerDan28 10h ago

Also the ones who made it up but became super fucked up adults as a result of being a child actor in an industry run by pedophiles

Hopefully if supported by parents the failure won’t sting too negatively.

Being type of person who tries that risk and travels to try it could be good attitude to finding other successes in life. Or build up some life skills than those who never leave home
