Eve Hewson has said she laughs off nepo baby comments in a bid to help her cope with criticism.
The 33-year-old daughter of U2 frontman Bono, whose real name is Paul Hewson, has achieved great success in acting over the last few years, starring in hit projects such as Bad Sisters with Sharon Horgan.
Despite her success, Hewson still faces regular nepo baby claims because of who her famous father is.

"The only thing you can do is crack a joke and move on," she said of the topic.
In the same interview with Porter Magazine, the star revealed that acting was the only thing she felt she was "good at". However, she did originally want to go into music and joked that she thought she would be an artist like Charli XCX.
She said: "We have a studio at the end of [my parents’] garden, where [we] usually end up, in the middle of the night, writing stupid songs.
"I actually got kicked out of the family band, for being too enthusiastic."

Hewson also said her father did not make the band as he was "asleep by 10pm every night".
Eve’s next big project is the Netflix series The Perfect Couple.
Nicole Kidman and Liev Schrieber star as the ideal spouses in the murder mystery based on the 2018 novel by Elin Hilderbrand of the same name.
The couple are preparing for their son’s wedding when a suspicious drowning disrupts their plans.
About the upcoming series, Hewson said: "[It was] a blast, like being at summer camp.
"You don’t usually have so many people on set your own age."
Eve plays Amelia, the free-spirited bride-to-be who is marrying into the wealthy family.
She also discussed the change in Hollywood since the MeToo movement and cancel culture, telling the magazine that women were now "allowed" to say they had "bad experiences", when previously they were told "be grateful, don’t complain".
"What has changed is that you’re allowed to now say that you had a bad experience.
"Before it was, ‘Be grateful, don’t complain, this is what it’s like if you want to be a star’.
"At least now, even if people want to or not, they kind of have to respond, or they get cancelled. It gives us power."
