Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgård is the latest star involved in the controversy that sparked in Hollywood after Lily-Rose Depp refused nepo baby claims.

Skarsgård, whose father, Stellan Skarsgård, and brothers (Bill, Gustaf, and Valter) are actors, said he is well aware of the debate. Skarsgård is at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival for director-writer Brandon Cronenberg’s new movie Infinity Pool. In addition to the star, Cleopatra Coleman and Mia Goth are also part of the sci-fi/horror. The actor recently sat down with The Wrap to answer some questions regarding the nepotism baby debate.

Skarsgård said that the debate had affected his thoughts on his acting career, and he is still thinking about it to this day.

Regarding this statement, the actor responded to director Cronenberg’s humorous question: ‘‘I don’t really know if I can use it. It’s just haunting me.’’

’’ I do (following). I would say I struggle daily with insecurities and desperately trying to find a reason why I don’t deserve a job. And then to go to it’s because my dad’s an actor. It’s very convenient. After 20 years in the industry, I still thank my dad for every single job I get.''

This definition is primarily used for people who are prominent in the industry by benefiting from their parents’ fame and financial power, especially famous children in entertainment and Hollywood.

Infinity Pool Is ‘Sundance’s Most Disturbing Film’ According to Critics

Considered one of Sundance’s scariest films by many critics and media outlets, the young director’s mind-bending horror film received mixed reviews. While critics expressed that the narration has flaws, Goth and Skarsgård’s performance and the director’s technical skill were highly praised.

The official Sundance description for Infinity Pool presents the story as ‘‘James and Em Foster take off to an all-inclusive beach getaway in the fictional state of Li Tolqa to help jump-start his writer’s block. Their lazy days are spent relegated to their pricey resort, isolated from the surrounding land. Gabby introduces herself and her partner, Al, as she’s a fan of James’ last novel, and they would like to spend some time with the Fosters. The couples plan a secret day trip outside the compound that ends in a fatal accident with James to blame. For a hefty price, there are loopholes to aid foreign travelers convicted of crimes there, which is how James is first introduced to a perverse subculture of hedonistic tourism."

Infinity Pool will be released in theaters on Jan. 27.
