Keith Urban’s Daughter Under Fire: The Simple Reason Why Is More Common Than You Think
Sunday Rose Kidman-Urban is finding out just how ruthless the internet can be. The 16-year-old daughter of country music star Keith Urban and legendary actress Nicole Kidman has recently started a modeling career. After making her runway debut at Paris Fashion Week the comments would have been more appropriate for a criminal that a teenage girl. The comments ranged from criticisms of her walk, her looks, and accusations of nepotism. Sunday Rose, herself, could not have been happier. She was quoted saying, “I’ve been wanting to do this for so long, so when the offer came through, it was really exciting. And now the day’s finally here.” Her parents, Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman, were both in attendance and were beaming with pride as their daughter walked the runway.
Suday Rose is not the only celebrity child to have their career choice be criticized as a simple outcome of nepotism. Meg Ryan recently went on the defensive for her son, Jack Quaid. Meg said that it was dismissive to say that Jack's career only existed because of his connections to her and his father, Dennis Quaid. Jack Quaid actually commented shortly after that he would be remiss to not acknowledge that he was "an immensely privileged person". He said that recognizing his privilege didn't have to necessarily disregard his or undermine his talent.
I think that Jack Quaid hits the nail on the head. Being connected to powerful people in Hollywood can certainly get you opportunities, but if you fail to perform those opportunities will dry up. Just ask Jaden Smith. I know from personal experience just how difficult it is to even get in the door for an audition in Hollywood. I spent seven years in that city trying get my big break, and the only thing I have to show for it are a few episodes Punchline on Fox that was cancelled after two seasons.
Hollywood is no different than any other industry. It's easy to point and accuse famous people of something that is common throughout society when the spotlight is already on them. If you are the son of a plumber the odds of you becoming a plumber's apprentice are pretty high. If your parents own a restaurant then, whether you want to or not, you will probably be running a restaurant when you get older.
Congratulations Sunday Rose Kidman-Urban. You won the paternal lottery. I hope it works out for you.
