Guest on the set of the “Tonight Show”, Lily-Rose Depp proved that she knows how to speak French as well as English. The actress revealed her favorite expression from her native language and even tried to teach it to Jimmy Fallon.
Lily-Rose Depp has more than one trick up her sleeve. While she was a guest on the “Tonight Show” on December 16, the Franco-American actress showed off her linguistic talents. Born in France, in Neuilly-sur-Seine, the 25-year-old actress inherited the dual nationality of her parents, Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp, and therefore their native language! If she has rather embraced American life on the career side, the young woman does not forget her French origins, where a large part of her family resides.
During an exchange with Jimmy Fallon on the set, Lily-Rose Depp had fun teaching French to the American presenter. She revealed to him, according to her, the best expression that a foreigner can say to make themselves seen in France. “If you’re ever in France and you feel like you’re in a situation where maybe something fishy is going on, you can say, ‘There’s something fishy going on.’ »

A sentence that Lily-Rose Deep tried to make the comedian repeat, after explaining its meaning to him. “It literally means, ‘There are eels under the rocks.’ Which loosely translates to ‘Something strange is happening,'” she said, adding, “If you release that one, you’ll get local points.”

Lily-Rose Deep proud of her “double life”
After their love at first sight in Paris in 1998, Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp gave birth to Lily-Rose and her brother Jack. With their children, the former star couple sailed between the United States and France, before leaving in 2012. A lifestyle that the eldest of the little siblings has also adopted today. Since 2023, The Weeknd’s on-screen partner in “The Idol” has lived with his partner, rapper 070 Shake, in a luxurious house in Los Angeles. She also travels very often to Paris.
During an interview with “Interview” magazine, Lily-Rose Depp spoke of this “double life”. “My family is French, so when I’m with them, I feel 100% French, and when I’m with my father’s family, I say to myself: ‘We’re all Kentuckians.’ » A daily newspaper which also entertains those close to it: “It’s funny because sometimes my French friends are like: “You’re so American about that” and my American friends call me: “French girl”. I feel like I’ve always been full of dualities and my dual culture adds to that. »
