The 32-year-old actor in a recent interview with Daily Beast addressed bring called a nepo baby and how it is affecting his success in the entertainment industry.

“People have called me a ‘nepo baby,’” he told the outlet.

“I’m inclined to agree. I am an immensely privileged person, was able to get representation pretty early on, and that’s more than half the battle. I knew the door was open for me in a lot of ways that it’s just not for a lot of actors, and I’ve just tried to work as hard as I possibly can to prove that I deserve to walk through that door,” Jack added.

It is pertinent to mention that Jack’s parents are Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid.

Whereas his mom views the title of a “nepo baby” disregards Jack’s work ethic and skills

“I don’t think she's trying to say that I’m not a nepo baby," he discussed. "I think she's just trying to say that, in her opinion, it undermines my talent. I don’t think it undermines my talent. I know that I work hard, and I know I’ve heard ‘no’ way more than I’ve heard ‘yes.’ But I also know that this industry is insanely hard to break into, and I had an easier time doing that than most.”

“Both things can be true. So no, I don’t think she was trying to say that I’m not a privileged person. She knows. She must know. I think she was being a mom,” he pointed out.
