“I feel like people have been willing to see me fail since I was a kid. It made me want to work harder and prove people wrong.“In the middle of the promotion of NosferatuLily-Rose Depp does not hide it in Vanity Fair : she dreams of recognition.
She, the daughter of two big stars, would like us to finally remember her first name, and not just her parentage. With Robert Eggers’ film, released on December 25, the eldest child of Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp finally seems to have achieved it.
“A very large Lily-Rose Depp“, writes thus Konbini ; “One of the major assets of this last vampire film of the year“, continues The Parisian on his performance. Even the NewObswho hated the feature film, praises his performance, calling it “only salient exception of this funny non-filmeffortlessly combining telluric grace, languid eroticism and infinite darkness“Enough to make her parents, especially Vanessa, very proud.”I’m crazy about my children, I watch them live, I admire“, admitted the French icon in the fall of 2023 in Harper’s Bazaar. However, at the time, the actress and singer also had to step up to defend her eldest.
The Idolthe series in which the young woman shared the poster with The Weeknd, had been a hit and accusations of piston were flying on social networks. Lily-Rose, a simple nepo baby? Certainly not for Vanessa! “I have seen her work for eight years. She is a hard worker like you rarely see. She works hard on her roles and her auditions. She did a lot of castings where she wasn’t chosen, and she was unhappy about it, like the others. I truly believe that those who succeed are those who work hard and are talented, whatever their name is. My daughter is one of them“, she then declared in Madame Figaro.
Ceremonies that ignore it
Today, the success of Nosferatu can only delight the mother wolf. In the United States, the film ranked third at the box office in its first week, collecting nearly 97 million euros. A very nice score which could portend a great harvest of rewards at the start of the year ceremonies. But if, in December, Lily-Rose learned of her nomination as best actress at the Satellite Awards, which will take place on January 26 in Los Angeles, the joy will undoubtedly have been short-lived.
Not only Nosferatu was not selected for the Golden Globesbut if the film still obtained five nominations for the Bafta, the English César, which will take place in February, Lily-Rose is not one of them. Could the actress have been snubbed? “It obviously disappointed herexplains a close source. Everyone thought she would be selected. And Vanessa can only be sad for her daughter. She herself suffered in her youth, and she knows that for Lily, things are all the more complicated because her parents are famous. In addition, in France, Johnny Depp’s image suffered enormously from his trial against Amber Heard.”
-Chance, or not, the young woman has not filmed a single film in France since The Faithful Manby Louis Garrel, in 2018! No matter, in adversity, the blonde can count on the unfailing support of her mother.
After all, Vanessa has also had her ups and downs. And it was only in 2012, the year she turned 40, that she dared to assert in the columns of Elle feel”finally legitimate as an actress.“Mother and daughter know it well, fame is far from being a paradise !
