Lily-Rose Depp finally sets foot in the big leagues. Since Wednesday December 25, the actress has been appearing in Nosferatu directed by Robert Eggers. A remake of the silent horror film released in 1922, in which she played Ellen Hutter, the lead role. While playing in this film, Vanessa Paradis' daughter thought a lot about her father, Johnny Depp, who has already played numerous roles in feature films of the same genre, such as Sleepy Hollow or even Sweeney Todd. Pour Harper’s Bazaar she notably reveals that at the age of 3, she was allowed to watch Edward Scissorhandsby Tim Burton. A feature film which houses one of Johnny Depp's first major roles in cinema.

“I was traumatized by this film,” Lily-Rose Depp recalled. “Not because I found him scary, but because everyone was so mean to him, I was really upset.” The actress says she found the moment when the townspeople turned on Edward so distressing that she never watched it again. “I remember being petrified by the ending, which is strange because I don't have many memories of that time when I was so young.”

“A very fascinating myth”

Today she is 25 and her first major film role. In a recent interview for Madame Figaro the actress admits to being fascinated by the myth of Nosferatu : “I have always loved this story, I have always found this myth very fascinating. To be able to play Ellen, but an Ellen who would be really central in the story, it was really a dream,” explains Lily-Rose Depp, adding that she shares a passion for horror films with her brother, Jack Depp. “We have always loved Dracula being little, so when I had the opportunity to be cast for this role, I said to myself 'maybe my brother will think I'm cool if I do this film'”, admits the actress with the smile.
