IN VIDEO – Deacon Phillippe, son of Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe, has tried his hand at this new TikTok concept that asks people to visit his apartment. Presenting itself as a shared student accommodation, his luxurious duplex caused a stir.
Is this a new manifestation of nepotism that is increasingly irritating? A video from actors Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe’s son’s apartment that was streamed on TikTok on Wednesday, November 15, got people talking. At the age of 20, Deacon Philip agreed to show Caleb Simpson, a well-known influencer specializing in these types of capsules, to his home.
Respectfully the format obliges, it all begins with a supposedly random encounter on the street, where the interviewer films Deacon Philip walking before stopping him and asking him the holy question; The affable young man then cheekily replies: “West Village prices, man.” Then the visit can begin.
In the pictures, the student shows off a luxury duplex in the very upscale West Village, which he defines as simple “student” accommodation, seemingly oblivious to his extraordinary routine. First of all, the spiral staircase, the central part of the two-level apartment, catches the eye. Then the spacious living room, which is equipped with more designer pieces than before, from speakers to leather armchairs, including modern artwork that can be imagined expensive. Next comes a more personal sequence where we see Deacon Philippe in his room, the size of a Parisian studio, explaining that he sings and composes in his spare time. It was enough to unleash the social networks.
“Nepo Baby”
Deacon Philip quickly saw divisive comments emerge from social media users who labeled him a “nepo kid”, these “kids” who were accused of taking help from their rich and famous parents and being blessed only because of them. surnames; pointed out also for not mastering the reality, not realizing all the advantages mentioned above.
“He’s not like any other student, he’s the son of Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe,” Arashi notes, or even: “How much do you pay? The correct answer is to ask my parents,” Buji laughs. “I didn’t imagine American student life like that…” comments another. But others question the idea of nepotism, going so far as to defend the young tenant; “Why are people so mean? He’s in college, seems humble, and has roommates. A lot of NYU guys also come from rich families,” lilyrose1015 defends. Endless debate.
