What was your favourite moment from the interview? ⬇

[fabric.soundz]

I love her voice its got some deep vibes, not many people have that sound, there's sultry and playfulness.

[GoFlau_]

Lily-Rose Depp is really a Tim Burton character come to life. It would be amazing to see her and Timothee Chalamet in a Tim Burton movie in the future.

[elijah]

She has a gentle and soft vibe. I know she will always have a strong support system, no matter what the opinions she receives.

[otpstylincum]

It's funny: she doesn't look like she has a deep voice and then... bam. She's so petite and angelic in a way, I was expecting a softer and higher-toned voice.

[susanwilliams]

She’s absolutely lovely and strong within herself; she knows herself. She is a beautiful combination of her parents best features- truly stunning and so intelligent. She was raised by her parents-they created a special young woman.

[Youtriedit]

I didn’t know her before but now after watching, I really like her. She just seems super chill and down to earth.

[gojosatoru]

I get that she doesn’t mention her dad a lot in some interviews her father does play a very important role in all the things she has been able to have access with but you also have to remember that she’s someone who wants to live her life as hers and she appreciates all the support and access she has been given but she wants to be independent and wants to be someone that isn’t just known for being the daughter of Johnny depp and more of her being someone charismatic and someone people can relate too and see how she isn’t just this girl who brags about everything she’s had in life and other haven’t had.

[kalenegopaulchand]

Lovely mature young woman. She is like a breath of fresh air... So real and down to earth. A natural beauty, she is not riding on her famous parents coattails. She definitely has a bright future ahead of her. Definitely making a name for herself.

[alisonstrazdins]

She's wise beyond her years. Very well put together and mature. I just adore her.

[senoritaaurora]

A true credit to her parents. Seize the world Lily-Rose!

[alexroads]

Don't get why she just can't own the fact that her father is literally the only reason why she has all the opportunities in life, that almost Noone has.

[izzybizzy_____]

What a beautiful and inspring young woman!!! I love her outlook on life and how much she cares for those around her!! you inspire to be a better woman Lily!! congrats on all the sucess and all that is to come for you!!

[sophiajoya]

She’s so inspiring and has incredible energy that radiates!!!

[jocefvr]

i never heard her voice until right now and wow it’s so beautiful. her voice is perfect

[sarai]

i can’t help but smile through out the whole time watching her. she’s sucha joy to watch. my fav nepo baby hehe.

[ernesto]

Wow she has grown up so much even tho I don't know her personally but just online LoL anyways, she is so pretty and very interesting, it's so nice that her friend directed this, sending love to Lily Rose 🖤 I love her french movies, her monologue in Les Fauves really touched me and the work with Louis was amazing, can't wait to watch the Idol, thank u for this long interview! Haha

[cameliab]

Damn her voice is deep !! She is great in what she is doing and there is nothing wrong being a nepo baby is just important to assume it

[Nancy-sfpl]

She’s a much better actress than people give her credit for. Of course there’s the whole nepotism thing but I watched several of her films recently (after the whole uproar over nepo baby’s) and i was surprisingly impressed, she has so much potential. I hope The Idol is a big breakthrough for her

[lilpapaya]

I think she is a really talented actress and authentic individual besides her having her famous parents. I‘d love to see more of her.
