The West kids are starting out early in Hollywood, and we're not surprised. North West and Saint West have landed their first-ever movie roles in the 2021 animated feature PAW Patrol: The Movie. If anything, this news shows that they're putting their privilege (being born to super famous parents) to use, and no one's complaining, to be fair.
Keep reading for the details.
The two kids are featuring alongside their famous and billionaire mom Kim Kardashian in the upcoming sequel titled PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie, which will see their mom repeat her role from the original picture as Delores, a poodle.
7-year-old Saint West and Kardashian's first son will reportedly make a cameo appearance in one of the scenes, but nothing changes the fact that this is such a huge milestone for the family.
9-year-old North has a much more serious responsibility on her plate for the project as she will be starring as one of the three puppies in the character line up. Judging by North's interesting video on TikTok, this one will be a piece of cake for the talent.
Other roles will be played by TikTok star Brice Gonzalez and BAFTA-nominated child actor Alan Kim, 10. Kristen Bell, McKenna Grace, who starred alongside Viola Davis in Troop Zero, James Marsden, Lil Rel Howery, and Serena Williams, are all part of the star-studded line-up.
The West babies' roles may or may not have added to the ongoing claims of Nepotism making rounds in Hollywood. The term "nepo babies" is used to qualify kids who use family connections to build their careers.
They join other alleged nepo babies like Lily-Rose Depp, Margaret Qualley, Maude Apatow, Lourdes Leon, Leni Klum, and Riley Keough, who are also bold faces in the industry.
In December, the outrage on nepo babies peaked as a New York magazine edition ran a viral cover story about the issue within the walls of Hollywood.
Fifty Shades of Grey actress and daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, whose grandmother is Tippi Herden, was one of the many faces which graced the cover. This is in no way to discredit Dakota's amazing talent and journey in Hollywood, as she has clearly put in the work.
Jamie Lee Curtis felt quite differently about the term and tagged it as designed to intimidate and diminish people's hard work regardless of who their parents are. She referred to herself as the "OG Nepo Baby."
"The current conversation about nepo babies is just designed to try to diminish and denigrate and hurt."
The two young stars are 2 of 4 children shared between Kim Kardashian and rapper Kanye West who recently finalized their divorce after 7 years of marriage.
