But, now, a little surprise about Margaret has been thrown into the mix…
People have discovered that Andie MacDowell is her mother — and how the pair are now experiencing the OPPOSITE of nepotism.
While being interviewed, Andie started talking about her daughter, Margaret, who she had with former model and rancher Paul Qualley.
After she and Jimmy started talking about how much Margaret has been crushing it with her career lately, Andie said, “She takes so many chances; she is so much braver than I could have ever been. She really carved her own road, and I am super, super proud of her.”
And Jimmy chimed in, wanting more clarity about something they had discussed before coming on set. “Wait. You were telling me backstage you’re experiencing something called ‘reverse nepotism,'” he explained to the audience.
Andie then elaborated on the term, saying, “You know they always accuse the children of…but I’m now cool because I’m Margaret Qualley’s mom.”
“…And also Jack Antonoff‘s mother-in-law! So, it’s a double whammy. I get letters in the mailbox, ‘I think you’re wonderful!’ And, you know, they’re 13!”
Either way, Andie seems to be basking in this newly-found “reverse nepotism” experience in Hollywood…and it is clear people would love to now see Margaret pitch her to play Mother Gothel in a live-action Tangled.
