I read somewhere that he hasn't auditioned for a role in like 10 years, which is kinda fucked up for a young actor, it shows his connections. His parents were ultra rich and his mom was a Broadway performer. He's been trained to be an actor since birth with no choice to do anything else. That's why I find him so unrelatable, he as a person has never lived a real life, just this fantasy rich kid life. Sure he's talented, but anyone who grew up with his privilege and opportunities would be

While I agree that makes him kinda shit for most roles, that's kind of a perfect fit for Paul Atreidies, right?

I mean, he was bred to be the Kwisatz Haderach by generations of Bene Gesserit, trained from birth to be a great ruler and warrior, pidgeonholed into becoming a messiah by his mother's scheming, and basically had no choice about his path in life save for his prescience giving him some influence on the future.

That sounds like an ultra-nepo-baby with rich parents, no choice about his career, no chance to live a real life and a mountain of privilege to me.

save for his [Paul Atredies] prescience giving him some influence on the future.

Some statements will not age well. <3
