Los Angeles, Jan 26 (PTI) Actor Andie MacDowell has said that she is experiencing "reverse nepotism" as a result of her daughter, Margaret Qualley's growing popularity in Hollywood.

MacDowell, known for movies like "Four Weddings and a Funeral", "Green Card" and "Sex, Lies, and Videotape", said while children of celebrities are often scrutinised in the nepotism debate, her situation has flipped as she is now frequently recognised as Qualley's mother.

She also joked about her newfound "cool" status, thanks to her connection with both her daughter and her son-in-law, musician Jack Antonoff.

“Reverse nepotism.... I'm now cool because I'm Margaret Qualley's mom. And also Jack Antonoff's mother-in-law. It's like a double whammy,” MacDowell said during an appearance on "The Tonight Show".
