Aries always lowkey sending shots and humbling Vlad 😂😂😂 “idk if that’s their biggest goal”🤣

I don’t care how you feel about Aries Spears. He is 100% right about this. Trying to juggle paying your rent, keeping a job while booking acting work and everything else in your life while trying to get in the door is tough. Getting in doors is more than half the battle and hero babies don’t have to go through that. This actor struggle is real!!!

Vlad low key proved Aries point by say he was going to do an interview with Chet Hanks. Why? What has Chet Hanks done to warrant a vlad TV interview OTHER than be Tom Hanks son?

My son is an actor and has gotten his share of roles over the past few years, but Spears is correct. The times where he didn’t get those roles, he wondered how he would keep up with paying his bills. It’s the nature of the business, but as a father, it’s so heartbreaking to hear the disappointment in his voice when he has studied and worked so hard to get a role and was turned down.

I’m with Aries on this 100%. This is not the same, but I’m a similar situation. I been trying to buy a business now through SBA for 3 years, and have busted my ass to make it happen. I have a wife and 3 kids. I have been able to close on a deal because I don’t have capital to inject into the business which is typically required. One of the loan officers I was speaking with the other day was telling me about a dude who’s father in law gave him 750k for his capital injection which allowed him to buy a 7 million dollar company. Now look, I’m jealous, it not envious, I’d take advantage of that too if I were him. But there was a big part of me that was like “man must be nice to just have that handed to you and not have to scrap, scratch and claw for years and still not have anything yet”. But I keep telling myself that good $hit is just around the corner and I’ll be better off from it. But man, it would be nice to have a father in law willing to invest in my dream. This is why I feel what Aries is saying.

Vlad is gonna remember that Chet Hanks stood him up for an interview longer than Akademiks will remember that Erykah Badu called him the mouse from Tom & Jerry. 🤣😂✨

Ion know why but I think Aries can prolly BBQ tf outta some food.

What the hell is Vlad talking about? Aries is 💯💯💯 percent right.

The fact that vlad wanted to interview Chet Hanks…..who vlad himself said hasn’t done shit…..proves Aries point

This isn’t rocket science. Starting from the bottom means just that. If you come from entertainment industry money then you automatically have connections with the best acting coaches, basketball coaches, music producers that can give you guidance. If you coming from the slums or just average people you gotta scratch and claw through obstacles just to shake those peoples hands and say “hi my name is” while the nepo babies live next door to them. Vlad just wants to argue.

😂😂 love how Aries brought Vlad back down to reality, he was talking like getting to his platform was a goal for people. Only the corner boys Vlad

Arie’s spoke nothing but facts ❤️👏🏾❤️👏🏾❤️

The fact Chet Hanks is an example only adds to Aries point. He hasn’t done SHIT yet the media, including Vlad, ONLY talk about him at because he is Tom Hanks son.

This is called life. It’s not just acting, this happens everyday in job interviews in the real world.

Funny how Vlad mentions Chet Hanks but doesnt mention his other son Colin Hanks who is a successful actor though lol...having famous parents CLEARLY gives you a bigger advantage!

Vlad thinks he’s the barometer for an actor to be like “oh man I can’t miss this Vlad interview” 😂

Thats the old saying. "Find me a great man who is the son of a great man"

Aries Spears gets it... The passion, the purpose, the precision. I love how he's so well grounded

Vlad brought up Chet Hanks, completely ignoring that Colin Hanks, Tom's other son, is a wonderful actor. It's also obvious that Chet Hanks doesn't want to be an actor, so his point is moot. Nepotism is real, and of course, the strength of it will always be relative to the power and influence of the parents. If your mom or dad or both are A-Listers, the strings they can pull (or the benefits you receive from people who are trying to get in good with THEM), is a hell of a lot greater than if your mom or dad are reality TV stars or something of that nature. It also ignores the fact that many of the "nepo babies" take different names to hopefully avoid claims of nepotism (even though it doesn't really work, especially with the internet). There are so many children and relatives of successful people in Hollywood and other fields who you'd never know because they either take a different name entirely (such as Nicholas Cage, the nephew of Francis Ford Coppola, who took "Cage" as a last name), or they take the last name of their non-famous parent or, if they're a girl, their father's last name (Margaret Qualley, the daughter of Andie McDowell, and Mammie Gummer, the daughter of Meryl Streep). To Vlad's point, working hard is great, but a career in entertainment isn't like other careers where there's a clear path towards ascension, and things are relatively meritocratic. There are plenty of great lawyers and shit lawyers, but anyone who wants to BE a lawyer knows exactly the things they must do, and even if you end up being the worst lawyer on the planet, barring you losing your license, you're still a lawyer. Conversely, you could be the most talented actor in the WORLD, but it's possible AND likely that you'll never get noticed because the path to success isn't so cut and dry. Further, if you're looking to get noticed, you need your foot in the door, and if the children of famous and influential parents are already in front of the line, that door might shut because the decision has already been made.

Nah, Aries is spot on. Half of the battle in the entertainment industry is having the opportunity. There are tons of talented people out there who just have not had the opportunity to be in front of the right person, people, or studio. This is a fact. I'm not an actress, but I do things on the other side of the camera, and I know this is a 100% fact from experience. I have worked very hard, I and am finally starting to see some movement. Several of my opportunities have come from being in front of the right people. It is so much harder when you don't know people.

Vlad never miss a chance to prop himself up😂

When he said I’m not sure if that’s there biggest goal 😂

Vlad proved his point: 1. He offered an interview to a guy who, in Vlad's own word, has done absolutely nothing 2. Chet Hanks still got roles in Atlanta and skipped over all of the other actors

Chet does nothing other than trying to be black and yet, Vlad still wanted to interview him. That's proving Aries' point

Aries is too real for the internet.

Talk that ish Aries 💯💯💯👑💯💯💯 we sweat & bleed for this no help outs no handouts just drive & determination

the obvious part that Vlad is neglecting, is that he wouldnt even give an interview to a no name actor on the same level of Chet Hanks.. but since its Tom Hanks son, he was willing to do so

If your dad is Denzel Washington, You can definitely skip the line

This is literally everything in life. It’s not about what you know, it’s about who you know. Relationships, connections, and opportunities are EVERYTHING when it comes to getting ahead. Even if you don’t have the natural skill. It’s extremely difficult to succeed if you don’t have these options in comparison to being born into a family of wealth or position.

Facts! Aries Spears is hitting it hard with the truth…Plus it’s not just in Hollywood but everywhere!🤔

I dont understand Vlads thinking. He doesnt talk like someone that was broke as a kid and didnt know the harsh reality of being broke as dishes. He always says something like well that shouod drive you more. Dude you also need that lucky break. The stars aligning for that extra support in succeeding. Aries is talking about people who have so much on there plate that they cant risk more then they should. A dream is great until you are homeless.

There is no debate on this topic. It’s a straight fact.

Of course, Vlads gonna try to argue with Aries who actually works in the business and has been doing it for over 30 years. And I'm sure can relate to his own argument. Vlad, if you dont know about something just keep your mouth shut, listen to The Other person. Actually process what they're saying instead of just arguing for the sake of arguing

Vlad said my interview will make or break you, don’t skip it

I think Aries has been holding this in for a long time. Being on VladTV is sort of his therapy. He gets to unload and then gets a check for it at the end or at the start. Vlad should give him a copy of this portion of the interview to take with him because this is some of the best stuff that Ares has ever done. He's passionate, dramatic and surprise surprise he doesn't use vulgarities. I'd say he's speaking from experience

Aries is right. Examples are: Kate Hudson, Jennifer Aniston, Jamie Lee Curtis, Sanaa Lathan, and John David Washington to name a few. They are talented, but their family connections definitely helped them get their foot in the door. This is why I respect the hustles of people like Issa Rae and Quinta Brunson. They literally got it out the mud. They built it themselves. No nepotism. Just BUILT it.

Glad tryin to convince an actor how actors feel about acting is crazy 😂

Aries Is our inner conscious 😂

I love Aries Spears he is the truth😂🎉🎉😅

What Aries is saying isn't just true, it's common sense. There is no "risk" when the consequences of failure aren't dire. I don't knock anyone for being born rich because it doesn't make one any less susceptible to the human condition, BUT I do appreciate it when people born into comfortable positions understand they have a MAJOR leg up. Sometimes, you get these rich kids that go out of their way to be "common" in the publics eye...rich guilt is real lol. I have a rich uncle. He and my aunt couldn't bare children so they adopted a son and a daughter when they were infants. I used to wonder, as they're young adults now, if they ever felt like they won the adopted kid lottery. But in all fairness to them, life has been comfortable but they still have to deal with certain things money can't get anyone out of. Sometimes the struggle is what validates our successes.

Most of the time I'm here for either side of the arguments in these interviews but Vlad really talked out his ass in this video.

Why is Vlad arguing with a actor about acting and auditions.. Vlad can't respect Aries.

Vlad has a real warped way of thinking.

Glad speaks from a point of privilege

Aries the 🐐

Aries is completely right tho lol idk what Vlads on 🤣

Yeah, talent is very rarely in the genes. And typically these kids grow up super wealthy and don’t have that drive to really learn and work at developing their talents or skills and have a career handed to them, and who knows if that’s what the kid ever really wanted? Maybe they could haben been great surgeons, biologists or anything else. That’s what I think of the Smith kids. I don’t know if their passion ever really was to be entertainers. I feel like the parents decided this is what they’ll do since they were babies. So that’s what they did, and they’re not all that into it.

A saying as old as dirt, “it’s not about what you know, but who you know.”

Having a cushion in life to fall back on makes all the difference in how you go through life.

greatest interview ever.

Aries is Absolutely correct

Marcus Jordan just entered the chap 😂😂😂😂

Its called...the Have and Have nots. Some are born into it. Others, have to work harder. Such is life.

I f*** with Vlad content the long way but bra ego is kicking in

"Well I don't know if THAT'S their biggest goal..." 😆

I can see it from both sides. The thing is most people aren't born with a spoon to feed off of, so the purpose is much, much stronger to win in those cases.

This bouta be another classic lol

It's called privilege.

Nepotism has always been a huge part of Hollywood and other entertainment industries.

I think this also forces people who do "make it" to be mindful of how they raise their kids, most people who grow up poor, without, or maybe just middle lower class always feel they have to "overcorrect" and give their kids the world..giving them a heads up.

“Well idk if that’s their biggest goal”lmaoooooo

0:56 Marcus Jordan, selling his dad shoes back door

Deep stuff

Moments like these show how class ignorance and bias, keep him from fully understanding and having a better conversation.

How are they both saying the same thing…both stating the obvious…and they’re *still* arguing about it? 😂

Aries is a very smart and funny dude. I respect this ninja

Watch the full interview now as a VladTV KZfaq Member: kzfaq.info/love/g7lal8IC-xPyKfgH4rdUcAjoin

Lol hard Aries you said it 100% correct, "The woman inherets your cash when you die."

If a nepo baby has the same drive and passion for acting PLUS the benefits of the head start… ofc they got an advantage cmon lol don’t use poor examples. Theirs Steph Curry’s, and theirs Marcus Jordan’

Not just in acting, in almost every day job, in life there's nepotism. There's a lot of people who have Great Skill sets and they get pushed to the side because of that favorite friend, family that get the opportunity and the other gets screwed. Shouldn't be like that....

Bro denzel son is having a great film career… what he talking about decent. Nobody seen tenet?

100% right

It's like talking to a brick wall. Aries broke it down perfectly and Vlad still don't understand.

A keep it real!

Ice Cube went to his son and presented the idea of his son playing him in a movie. Then provided him with acting lessons before anyone else knew there was even a role coming.

Vlad you brought your guest on your show for people to hear them speak, please let them get their point out with interrupting them ...we came to hear their thoughts.

Of course it makes a difference, just like how Steph and Klay had an advantage in the NBA, both their dads were players. It's not really about the money or connections though, that helps, but the biggest gift is the knowledge their parents gave them, having made it themselves

This is how it is with most career fields.

That shirt catches my attention

This man is on point

Facts

Hard times make strong people

Damn Aries made some amazing points

Aries last line hit the nail on the coffin "And some of them go harder and still don't get it"

Not to put Vlad on a pedestal, but I get what he's saying about the "lack of drive" with guys like Chet Hank that canceled on an interview because "he didn't feel like it"... Compare that to someone like DaBaby who did a Vlad interview months before his breakout single. He then was a late-twenties, underground mixtape rapper from a town not known for breeding successful rappers. He did an interview cause he knew it was apart that grind to success

Somehow Vlad just doesn't get it! 🙄🤦🏽‍♂️

Both points can be true and valid! Love this debate

Every time Aries on. I click

It must be so fun for Vlad having Aries around.He is HILARIOUS 😂😂😂

Aries is the uncle that everyone waits to get to the BBQ.... He gone lit !!!

I'm waiting for Vlad's son, Rasputin, to take the wheel of ValdTV after college 😅

The Marcus Jordan comment was a burn notice😂

This one was kind of tough to watch because this very same struggle Aries spoke of, applies to corporations and other businesses not just limited to celebrities and entertainers.

His point is 100% valid.

Lots of folks skip the line in corporate America as well

Just saw a trailer with adam sandlers daughter i was thinkin this exact thing

It’s about time somebody humbled vlad. Their is nothin that Chet Hanks would have gained goin on Vlad that he couldn’t of gained without him. More ppl need to knock this guy off his high horse more

Yes.

Once Special Agent Glad brought up Chet Hanks in that tone I already knew there was some pettiness behind that energy and seconds later he says Chet decided not to do an interview with him lol. His ability to hold grudges is uncanny.

“Marcus Jordan has entered the chat”😂😂😂😂😂
