THE daughter of an international superstar insists being a nepo baby "doesn't help" after bagging her first film role.
The 22-year-old is studying at Central Saint Martins in London and said that having famous parents is often "disguised as a benefit".
Her mum earned 15 Grammy nominations throughout her 40-year career, and forged a path in the art and fashion industries.
In the 1980s she shot to fame as the lead singer of The Sugarcubes.
A decade later, she'd branched off and quickly established herself as a solo artist with instantly recognisable vocals.
Have you guessed who this nepo baby is and who her famous parents are?
It's Isadora Bjarkardottir Barney – the daughter of Iceland's most eccentric export, Bjork, of course!
Isadora's dad, Matthew Barney, is an American contemporary artist and film director.
She was born in London and grew up between New York and Reykjavik after her parents split in 2013.
Speaking to the Sydney Morning Herald, she said: "People have preconceived ideas about me, based on what they think they know about my family.
"I hope I don't sound bitter, because it's such a gift. I just mean that it's a challenge discerning what's what. But you get pretty good at it, eventually."
She also said that her parents are the first people she goes to when she has an idea or needs creative advice.
"But then there is the other kind of benefit that disguises itself as a benefit but doesn't really serve you, which is nepotism."
Isadora admitted that financially, it's helpful to have wealthy parents, but said that in terms of "uncovering how she sees the world or how she relates to it", she said it "doesn't help".
Bjork has earned a reputation as being an art project in motion – and it seems Isadora is following in her footsteps.
The youngster modelled for MiuMiu when she was just 20 years old.
She was also on the cover of The Gentlewoman magazine in 2022.
Isadora landed the lead role in The Mountain, where she plays Anna, a teenage musician trying to navigate her life after the sudden death of her mother.
The role came to her by chance after a former crew member she'd worked on a TV series with previously and remembered she'd acted before.
In 2022, she played a small role in The Northman, which starred her mum.
She played a singing Viking slave alongside Alexander Skarsgard, Nicole Kidman, and Anya Taylor-Joy.
