While Platt won a Tony for his role in “Dear Evan Hanson,” internet sleuths pointed out that the actor’s famous father, Marc Platt, had produced the film.

While Platt won a Tony for his lead role in “Dear Evan Hanson,” social media sleuths pointed out years later that the actor’s famous father, Marc Platt, had produced the film.While Ben attempted to push any conversation of being a “nepo baby” to the side, his non-answer has now become the talk of the town.Since Ben’s awkward moment with Rolling Stone was made public, Twitter users have been quick to drum up more heat for his non-answer.
“Ben Platt had MONTHS to come up with a response to nepo baby questions that didn’t make him come off as out of touch, and *this* is what he went with?” one Twitter user wrote.Twitter users called out the actor for not having a proper response to the reporter’s question.“Ben platt refusing to admit hes a nepo baby is so crazy… sir u [sic] have a tony we already know ur [sic] talented its not that big of a deal,” a third wrote.
While Ben participated in the interview to garner publicity for his upcoming comedy — which is co-directed by fellow nepo-baby bestie Molly Gordon — it seems like the one question he hoped to brush over has taken the spotlight.
