===========================================
一个时代的结束?
尽管是著名演员MaggieSmith和RobertStephens的儿子,TobyStephens却不想自己三个孩子中的任何一个进入演艺界。
“我不希望,”他告诉我说。
“我从不把自己看作什么演艺世家的一部分。它从我父母那里开始——但是在他们之后没有人。
对我的孩子们来说,我想让他们做自己想做的事。我不会阻止他们干这行(表演),但是我会,一定会,让他们考虑清楚这是否是适合他们的。演艺界是个非常残酷的产业,我想将来也不会有任何改变。”
Stephens演过邦德电影《择日再死》,他和女演员Anna-Louise Plowman结婚。“裙带关系在这行里不起作用,因为你行就是行,不行就是不行,”他加上说。“如果你不行,没人会给你工作。可不管你父母是谁。”
原文:
Endof an era?
Despite being the son of the illustrious actors Dame Maggie Smith and SirRobert Stephens, Toby Stephens does not want any of his three children to entershowbusiness.
“I hope not,” he tells me.
“I don’t see myself as part of any dynasty. It started with my mum and dad –there was no one behind them.
“With my kids, I want them to do what they want. I won’t stop them from doingit [acting], but I would, certainly, want them to consider whether it is theright thing for them. It is such a hard industry to be in, and I don’t think itis getting any easier.”
Stephens, who appeared in the James Bond film Die Another Day, is married tothe actress Anna-Louise Plowman. “Nepotism doesn’t work in this industry,because you can either do it or you can’t,” he adds. “If you can’t, no one isgoing to give you a job. It doesn’t matter who your parents are.”
