    Mia Threapleton has hit out at the "misconception" she's a 'nepo baby'

    The 24-year-old star - whose first major acting role came alongside her mother Kate Winslet in 'I Am Ruth' - has insisted despite being the daughter of Kate and filmmaker Jim Threapleton, she didn't spend her childhood growing up on movie sets


    She's quoted by the Daily Mail newspaper's Eden Confidential column as saying: "I feel like it's a misconception about me, considering who my mother is, that I grew up going to set or that I would know anything about this world because of her and what she does.

    "That is not the case at all. I genuinely can count on not even two hands the amount of times I went to set as a kid.

    "There were never scripts lying around the house."

    Mia previously explained how she "never actually spent much time around sets" her mother was working on.

    She told Variety: "It was always a special treat. It's a very different experience when it is happening to you, and not just something I was getting to observe from time to time.

    "I really understand why my mum has always impressed on us how hard the work is. She is right! And I loved every second of it."

    Meanwhile, Kate - who previously pointed out that her daughter's "different surname" means that she often escapes the 'nepo baby' claims - is proud of how determined Mia has been.

    During a previous appearance on ITV daytime show 'Lorraine' in the UK, the 'Titanic' star said: "As far as performance, she didn't need me at all. There are even moments where she'd look at me and go, 'Shut up Mum, let me do it!'

    "It was really amazing working alongside her and actually being blown away by her courage... she's very, very powerful.

    "I think this young generation of actors, I have to say there is a naturalism to their acting and they're just braver."
