so many british actors are so so posh it’s a whole different level of nepo baby like you look them up on wikipedia and not only do their parents have wikipedia articles but their FAMILY has its own wikipedia article and you have to learn what peerage means… so when you give me an actress with a strong northern accent who grew up in a working class family in manchester yes i AM going to be immediately biased toward her
btw the first part of this post is about a lot of people but specifically the one i’m always thinking of when i say “oh their FAMILY has its own wiki page” is helena bonham carter which seems relevant now lol. anyways. girl sit down your family has been in political power in britain since the 18th century you don’t get to have opinions
So one thing that I’ve heard is that there was a generation of British actors from working class backgrounds like Patrick Stewart and Alan Rickman, because in the mid-20th century, there was actually financial assistance to attend acting schools; but then this assistance was eliminated by Thatcher, and since the 80s, it’s mostly been nepo babies
