1. >“I’d say definitely the comedy is in the genetics. They were better at it than me. I can do a fair bit of tap dancing, not as good as … young Debbie Reynolds, but that’s also in the genes, although my mom kind of sucked at tap dancing,” Lourd explains, adding that she still always looks for ways to make her performances her own.

   >”I’m a very distinct personality, definitely different from both of them,” she adds. “Well, it’s something you learn through generations. I think I’ve learned to balance my life and my work in a different way than they were able to do, and that was also a product of the times.”

2. Young Debbie practiced dancing until her feet bled and got coaching from Fred Astaire. But sure, genetics why not

3. Comedy is actually a heritable trait… kinda like nepotism.

4. What has she been in besides Scream Queens?

5. Her looks also come from good genes!

6. Whats with the Billie Lourd hate lol

7. Is this what they mean by the saying “born on third base and you think you hit a homerun”?

8. All I see about this nepo-baby are articles about great she thinks she is, yet have not seen any breakout roles by her. My guess is this is another Jaden Smith type situation where she gets attention due to how many people loved her parents, but in reality everything was handed to her so her “talent” is all in her head.

9. Glad to hear she’s giving credit to her family background and not acting like she’s gotten this far with only her own efforts.

10. anything I’ve seen her in she was just standing there and reading her lines are journalists this bored?

11. Who ever said she was funny?

12. I know she was meant well and was trying to give a nod to her family, but this comes off as extremely out of touch.

13. She’s basically a nice Dakota Johnson. Without the “names”. I don’t think she’d get a call back.

14. Pardon me for saying this but, duh.

15. I really enjoy watching Billie .

16. Man, going by her- thankfully brief- moments in the sequel trilogy, Billie Lourd cannot actually act her way out of a paper bag

17. I kinda get what she’s saying but the quote feels gross ngl

18. *maybe it’s Maybelline*

19. I’m sorry, but she is a terrible actress. She’s like a block of wood in everything.

20. She’s no Debbie Reynolds.

21. Love Carrie fisher like everyone else. Billie Lourd is not a good actor. Probably wouldn’t have made it on her own.

22. Nepo piss babies say they got it from genetics before working hard for it lol
