Stellan Skarsgård Says 13-Year-Old Son Is Bullied With ‘Nepo Baby’ Taunts

The comments arrive during promotion for Sentimental Value, a family-legacy drama.

Overview

  • Skarsgård told Vulture his son Kolbjörn feels sad and isolated at school after classmates label him a “nepo baby,” calling the behavior “cruel.”
  • He rejected the term as “bulls---,” arguing that sustained work requires talent and saying he did not recommend his children for roles.
  • Skarsgård described himself as a “nepo daddy,” saying his children’s success brings him goodwill and possibly opportunities.
  • Kolbjörn has professional credits, including the Swedish horror series Blood Cruise, after debuting in 2022 with Netflix’s Clark.
  • He revealed a stroke three years ago weakened his language, and said he now uses earpiece prompting techniques on set; his film Sentimental Value opens Nov. 7.
