At this point, we have all heard of nepo babies, but have you heard of nepo parents?

If you haven't, hold Glen Powell's hand as he walks you through it.

In the rare event that you actually haven't heard of nepo babies - it's a shortened term for 'nepotism babies' and refers to a successful children of well-established, famous or influential parents with industry connections.

The world is absolutely rife with them at the moment - look no further than Kylie Jenner, Lily-Rose Depp and Brooklyn Beckham who are just a few celebrity names off the top of my head.

They often face backlash for excelling in their chosen fields, whereas those without famous parents may struggle to even get their foot on the ladder.

But now that the world has gone Glen Powell crazy following his roles in Anyone But You and Hitman, he's introduced the term 'nepo parents' into the mix and it's much more wholesome.

Powell, who stars in buzzy new action thriller Twisters opposite Normal People's Daisy Edgar-Jones, appeared on The Today Show and opened up about his parents - and the unbelievable fact they've made a cameo in potentially all of his films since Spy Kids 3 (2003).

He said: "There's a great sequence in [Twisters], a rodeo sequence and they're right behind Daisy Edgar-Jones and I.

"They're right behind us there. They've made it since Spy Kids 3. Literally since Spy Kids 3, I think they've been in every one."

During an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Powell offered further: "At first they were like really excited for me to get new roles and stuff", before referring to them as 'nepo-mommy' and 'nepo-daddy'.

He added: "Now all they're concerned about is what they are gonna do in the movie."

But it's not only Powell's parents who get to enjoy the limelight.

Speaking further on The Today Show, Powell described getting his puppy, Brisket, involved.

He said: "Daisy had a wardrobe malfunction, so she was a few minutes late to set, and I just had my dog on set with me. They said, 'Can we do a test?', so I just picked up Brisket, and this just happened to be the camera test for the shoot. This was me just joking around with Brisket. I just happened to have Brisket with me and now he's on the cover of Entertainment Weekly."

Goals.
