Lily-Rose Depp talks about balancing her fame and privacy in Hollywood
Lily-Rose Depp, the daughter of Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis, is establishing herself as an up-and-coming talent with roles in HBO’s “The Idol” and Robert Eggers’ “Nosferatu”. Despite the significant attention fame has brought her, she remains committed to maintaining the privacy she once had, even as her face becomes widely recognized in Hollywood.
Depp recently spoke to “The Daily Telegraph”, emphasizing the importance of privacy and acknowledging that fame is an inescapable aspect of her profession. She believes staying grounded and protecting what matters most in her private life is essential for her well-being and professional integrity.
She told the outlet, “Every job comes with a set of circumstances and this [fame] is kind of one of them. The importance to me has been to maintain a sense of, like, privacy and grounded-ness and to protect [what] really belongs to you.”
Reflecting on her decade-long career, which began with her debut in 2014’s “Tusk”, Depp has faced the less glamorous side of fame. Raised under the public’s scrutiny, she understands the challenges of balancing visibility with authenticity.
The actress said, “People are interested in things that they shouldn’t necessarily be interested in and…the job of an actor is to go into a character and, like, melt into it — and make the audience believe you are this character.”
Depp explained how anonymity relates to acting, noting that stepping into a role shifts the audience’s attention away from her private life. This, she believes, allows for a better portrayal and greater accessibility to the audience.
“To do that, it’s important to protect a sense of anonymity — they’re not supposed to get to know ‘you’ that well, ‘cause you want them to believe you as other characters,” she added.
In November, Lily-Rose Depp candidly discussed her determination to assert her identity in Hollywood despite the skepticism from critics. She acknowledged that some people were waiting for her to fail, which only fueled her drive to work harder.
