Ryan Phillippe defends kids from ‘nepotism talk’ after son Deacon’s tour of pricey apartment goes viral

Deacon is pursuing a career in music, which Ryan, 49, is “insanely” proud of, but he is also acting like his parents.

Not only has Deacon appeared in “Never Have I Ever,” but he may join his dad on the set of an upcoming series soon.

“He may be … playing my character’s brother in the flashbacks, so I’m kind of excited about that possibly happening,” the “I Know What You Did Last Summer” star explained to the outlet.

When asked whether Ava is also interested in being in front of the camera, Ryan said his eldest child is “getting her feet wet.”

He noted, “She’s taking time to kind of figure out exactly what it is she wants to do.”

Witherspoon, who is also the mother of son Tennessee, 11, with ex-husband Jim Toth, has yet to comment on the nepo baby criticism.
