- Michael Douglas said the "nepo baby" title "really pisses" him off during a recent episode of the "SmartLess" podcast
- Douglas is the son of the late Kirk Douglas, whom the source describes as a Hollywood legend
- He discussed his career success with podcast hosts Sean Hayes and Jason Bateman (a third host name was truncated in the source)
- Douglas is identified in the source as the star of the film "Wall Street"
Why it matters: Douglas — himself a product of Hollywood dynasty as Kirk Douglas's son — wading into the nepo-baby debate adds a legacy-era voice to a cultural conversation typically dominated by younger stars, and his strong reaction ("really pisses me off") signals how sensitively established industry families view the term.
