If I were him only thing worse than being called a nepo baby would be my mom coming out publicly to tell people not to call me a nepo baby. That's like further drawing anything to the issue and as embarrassing as a student would be of their parents loudly telling everyone in school to not be bullies.

Yep, sounds like the Streisand effect. I've been watching him on The Boys for the last four years and never realized he was Jack Quaid as in Dennis Quaid's kid. And I certainly didn't realize his mother was Meg Ryan.

"Don't call my baby a nepo baby!"

"Wait, the guy from The Boys is Meg Ryan's kid?" lol

Same I know him from The Boys and never thought of him as the nepo baby, but now I'll always be reminded of that. Didn't know he was Meg Ryan's kid either.
