Sam Nivola Calls Out 'Old Movie Stars' for Getting Plastic Surgery to Play Younger Roles
The White Lotus actor Sam Nivola is calling out “old movie stars” who get plastic surgery so they can play younger roles, which he believes is causing the lack of new movie stars.
The 21-year-old actor, who is the son of actors Emily Mortimer and Alessandro Nivola, thinks that there is a lack of major stars coming out of the new generation.
“The old movie stars are getting plastic surgery, and they’re looking younger and they’re staying young. You have these really old people playing young roles. And it’s not giving any space for the young’uns to move in and make a name for themselves,” Sam began in an interview with Variety.

He added, “With all due respect to those people, one day they won’t be here anymore, literally, and they will have to create new stars.”
Sam says Timothee Chalamet is one of the only names he can think of when he picks his brain for new movie stars.
“I think Timothée Chalamet is one of the best actors alive, and he’s a total star. He’s one of a very few examples I could come up with. But it’s a different kind of movie star; he’s not huge and jacked. He looks a little more like me,” he said. “I wish!”
In the same interview, Sam explained why he doesn’t attribute his success to being a nepo baby.
