NEED TO KNOW
- Sam Nivola addressed the nepo baby label in a new interview and said his success is “sometimes in spite” of his parents, Emily Mortimer and Alessandro Nivola
- “Other than my genes, I don’t think I can attribute much of my success to my parents,” the actor said
- Sam also discussed why he took offense to the criticism of his White Lotus character, Lochlan Ratliff
Sam Nivola is getting candid about the nepo baby label.
The White Lotus star, 21, addressed finding success in the entertainment industry as the son of actors Emily Mortimer and Alessandro Nivola.
“Other than my genes, I don’t think I can attribute much of my success to my parents,” he told Variety. “I feel proud that I’ve done it for myself, and sometimes in spite of them.”

Sam landed his first role in the 2022 film White Noise, playing the on-screen son of Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig’s characters, after his high school drama teacher helped him get an audition.
“I didn’t get my dad’s agent to call up so-and-so,” he said of the role. “I did it by myself. I didn’t want to give anyone an excuse to be able to say that anything I’ve achieved has been because of anyone other than me. And I’m proud of that.”
Despite pride in his work, Sam knows the recent attention he has received from playing Lochlan Ratliff on The White Lotus season 3 has little to do with his talent.
“But that just goes to show the trappings of fame because I’m not half as talented as my father or my mother,” he said of getting asked to take selfies while taking walks with family.
Sam also addressed the criticism of his White Lotus character and his incestuous storyline with his brother Saxon Ratliff (Patrick Schwarzenegger).
“It was at times painful. It’s hard when people view your character as a monster or pervert or freak,” he admitted of the online chatter about the character.
“It was hard feeling like people had lost sympathy for this guy that I lived inside. I got a little defensive,” he added. “You have to love your character, otherwise you’re f—–. My character jerked off Patrick. I don’t like that. It’s a bad thing he did. But I try not to pass judgment.”
Sam admitted that following the release of White Lotus, he was offered roles that were “socially awkward, virginal kids who are a little weird.”
However, things are slowly changing.
“I’m starting to feel a little boxed in by the characters I’ve played in my career,” he said. “But I’m also finally getting offers to do things where I’m a little more grown up. Hopefully the next one will be something a little different.”

He previously revealed during a conversation with Cooper Koch for Variety‘s Actors on Actors that both his parents actually advised him against following in their footsteps.
“My whole thing was that my parents really didn’t want me to be an actor, which I totally get — I don’t know if I’d want my kid to be an actor,” he admitted to Variety. “It’s a really mentally tough career to be in.”

He continued, “Even if I had no success, I would want to be doing it. But they really didn’t want me to do it.”

Best Amazon Big Spring Sale 2026 beauty deals: Dyson, Medicube, more
These springtime deals are in full bloom.
While Amazon’s Big Spring Sale includes everything from tech to home goods, it’s also the prime time to shop deals on beauty products from luxury and drugstore brands alike.
Below, we’ve rounded up top deals on some of Hollywood’s favorites, from trendy K-beauty buys to the moisturizer Oprah called “hands down the best.”

Alix Earle once took her TikTok followers along for an appointment with dermatologist Dr. Kiran Mian, who recommended these exfoliating pads.
Mian later raved about the K-beauty buy in a Page Six Style interview, saying: “Medicube Zero Pore Pads have the perfect balance of soothing ingredients with effective exfoliants. Using actives requires special attention to our skin barrier.”
When we tried them out ourselves, we were equally impressed. And Kyle Richards is also a fan, having raved about the pads on Amazon Live.

Plenty of stars are eyeing these energizing under-eye gel masks. Kyle Richards, Lala Kent and Paige DeSorbo (to name but a few) have all included them in recent Amazon livestreams.
They’ve also racked up an impressive 4.3-star average out of over 44,000 (!) reviews thus far, with customers calling them “impressive” and “nice and hydrating.”

It’s a great time to try A-lister-approved vitamin C serums, too — including this one Kyle Richards called “a miracle” in an Amazon Live, saying she “can automatically see a difference” a day after using it.

Plenty of superstars swear by Superhero Mascara, including Jennifer Lopez. The pop star spotlighted the bestseller in her Vogue “Beauty Secrets” video, calling it the “most important part” of her makeup routine.

When Bethenny Frankel tried this plumping lip oil, she was immediately “shooketh.”
“I’m not kidding … if you said they were $60, I would believe you,” she raved in a sponsored Instagram video. “I promise you this is better than any expensive lip oil.”

Give your skincare routine a boost with this device that’s been linked to everyone from Kylie Jenner to Hailey Bieber to Kim Kardashian.
“The pore-care mode is my secret for super smooth makeup application,” Kardashian revealed on Poosh’s 2026 holiday gift guide.
Alix Earle also raved about it in a “GRWM” video, saying: “It’s like little tiny zaps; it kind of hurts, but in a good way.”

From duchesses to Bravolebs, plenty of stars swear by this collagen cream. Meghan Markle featured the pretty pink goop on her now-defunct ShopMy page, while Lala Kent told Amazon Live viewers she’d ordered at least two tubs of the stuff.
“I put it kind of everywhere … all over my face, my neck [and] my chest,” the “Vanderpump Rules” star explained.

Alix Earle discovered this body oil on “Dancing With the Stars,” telling E! it “smells amazing and gives such a nice glow.”
“I never really used body oil before the past few months on ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ and now I love it,” she added, concluding that she’s “obsessed” with the hydrating, glow-boosting beauty buy.

Few pout products are as iconic as Clinique’s Black Honey hue. Julia Roberts, Kate Moss and Liv Tyler all wore the ’90s classic it back in the day, while Emilia Clarke and Reese Witherspoon have swiped it on more recently.

While Oprah’s praised plenty of products over the years, not just any beauty buy made the cut for her “Ultimate Favorite Things” list in 2010.
“It’s hands down the best moisturizer I’ve ever used,” she raved of this Philosophy cream, saying she’d already been using it for a decade. (During her talk show’s farewell season, her face even appeared on the product’s packaging.)

Don’t sleep on deals on this hydrating lip mask, which our editors adore and everyone from Kate Hudson to Kendall Jenner to Brooke Shields has raved about. (Should you prefer a little glow during the daytime, too, there’s also a deal on the brand’s Laneige Lip Glowy Balm.)

For nearly three years, Bethenny Frankel’s been saying nothing but positive things about this anti-aging moisturizer, even calling it “probably the biggest beauty discovery I ever made.”
“It is so elite, it is so rich, it is so hydrating … it’s beyond,” she once raved on TikTok.

“Southern Charm” star (and former professional hairstylist) Madison LeCroy loves this “miracle” hair product so much, she has at least three bottles.
“So good … definitely one of my top five products,” she raved on Amazon Live of the luxe leave-in, which is designed to strengthen and smooth hair while repairing damage.

Hailey Bieber shared an Instagram Story snap of this French drugstore formula on Instagram Stories this year, saying she “couldn’t live without” the stuff.

Elemis’ rich cream earned Bethenny Frankel’s coveted “expensive but worth it” stamp of approval.
“This also reduces the appearance of fine lines,” she raved of the product on Instagram, saying it “feels like the richest, bounciest hydrating water cream.”

This sheer sunscreen is a clear favorite for stars like Kourtney Kardashian, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sydney Sweeney and Kyle Richards (to name but a few).
“It’s a miracle,” the latter “RHOBH” star said during an Amazon Live of the SPF. “I cannot say enough good things about this.”

Wrap it up, we’ll take it. Everyone from Khloé Kardashian to Paige DeSorbo has raved about Dyson’s luxe, multitasking hairstyling system. (DeSorbo even went as far as telling Amazon Live viewers it “changed [her] life.”)

$500 still not quite in your budget? Hannah Brown and Lisa Vanderpump both swear by Shark’s under-$350 hair tools.
The latter reality TV icon told us she recommends the device “all the time,” while Brown bought a second one to ensure she’d never be without it.

Sydney Sweeney wears sheer lingerie to the theater in sizzling Syrn video

Sydney Sweeney’s back for round two.
The actress has been promoting her Syrn lingerie line practically nonstop over the past few months, and on Tuesday, she posted a smoldering theater-themed video to accompany her brand’s second Seductress drop.
In the vintage-style clip, 28-year-old Sweeney shows off the range’s white Fantasy Lace Halter Bodysuit ($89) — which features a high neck, an open back and a curve-framing cutout in front — along with matching thigh-high stockings, using opera glasses and an old-school popcorn box as props.
“Round two, she’s ready. Seductress Drop 2 now LIVE,” the post was captioned.
Syrn’s Instagram account has been teasing the capsule for the past few days, sharing campaign photos of its founder accessorizing her lacy lingerie with some strategically-placed roses.
The brand launched with an initial four “worlds.” First came Seductress, then Comfy; Romantic followed, concluding with Playful.
Each drop, of course, was accompanied by sultry campaign images of Sweeney, modeling everything from layered bralettes (for the Comfy launch) to marabou-trimmed robes (for the Romantic release) to fuchsia lace and faux fur (for Seductress).
With Syrn now rolling out second drops of its four core collections, fans can expect plenty more scandalously stylish shots to come.

In the new special, Cyrus will step back into her character’s iconic closet and glittery wardrobe, in addition to a new intimate sit-down with Call Her Daddy host and “Hannah Montana” super fan Alex Cooper. Never-before-seen footage and recreations of the TV show’s memorable sets will also take center stage as Cyrus looks back on the moments, music and memories that defined her “Hannah Montana” era.
“‘Hannah Montana’ will always be a part of who I am,” Cyrus said in a release announcing the special. “What started as a TV show became a shared experience that shaped my life and the lives of so many fans, and I’ll always be thankful for that connection.”
