The danger of nepotism, explained in a BBC interview with Sienna Miller, gave me a golf club taste in my mouth:
Sienna Miller says her new Netflix drama highlights the "ignorance" of people who don't realise they have a head start in life and "don't think" about the struggles of those without the same privileges.
"There are people who are born lucky, 1,000%, and they have a leg up in life that makes it much easier."
"I'm not saying that their life is not without complications, because I think it's hard to be a human being, but I do think the absolute ignorance about what's given you the step up makes me angry and deserves analysis," she says.
"I don't think they ever spend time sitting around thinking about what it must be like for people who have to claw their way just to get to the starting line, you know. And it's that blinkered behaviour - and it's really unconscious - that this show really lays out."
Miller's own father was an investment banker and art dealer, and her mother was a model and assistant to David Bowie.
Don't think there is outrage in this thread, more mild amusement. I just thought that last line was funny in the context of the interview and the world of celebrity.
