On the 7th (local time), American entertainment media Variety released an interview with Sam Nivola.
Sam Nivola, who received attention for appearing in season three of the HBO series 'White Lotus', said in an interview that `Now Hollywood is not growing 'new faces'. Now older actors continue to take on younger roles because they look young with plastic surgery. So new actors like us don't have a chance to make a name for themselves."
He then expressed concern for the future, saying, `I respect them, but one day there will be a day when they will not be in the world, and I have to make a new star in the end.'
Sam Nivola also claims that there has been no young star birth in recent years.
He says there aren't many stars that come to mind, but Timothy Chalamet, 29, is one of the best actors alive. Timothy Chalamet is a real star. But it's a little different from the traditional movie stars we know. It's not muscular and it's not big. You look similar to me," he praised.
Meanwhile, Sam Nivola also expressed his position on the controversy of 'Nepo Baby' (a person who benefited from or succeeded in the reputation or influence of a parent or family member).
He is famous for being the son of actor Emily Mortimer, 53, and actor Alessandro Nivola, 53, but emphasized that he auditioned for himself and took the opportunity.
I never got help from my parents in the first movie of Sam Nivola 'White Noise'. I just auditioned with the help of my school teacher. I did it on purpose so that I couldn't say it was thanks to my parents. And I'm really proud of that,' he said, expressing his determination to continue to pioneer his own path in the future.
