Lily-Rose Depp Talks Johnny Depp’s Comeback

Who better to toot your horn than family, and Johnny Depp seems to have the backing of his star player: his own daughter Lily-Rose Depp.

Last week, Depp made headlines when he walked his first red carpet since the Amber Heard defamation lawsuit at Cannes festival France. Before going into the arena, he stopped to take selfies and sign autographs for fans.

But his best moment that night came at the end of his French-language movie’s premiere when the crowd took to their feet to appreciate the project.

It must have been a cathartic moment for him, especially after the controversies of the lawsuit and the fact that, according to him, many people stopped calling him at around that time.

Lily-Rose Depp, 23, is not a stranger to receiving standing ovations herself, as the star was greeted with it following a screening of the first few episodes of her and The Weeknd’s (Abel Tesfaye) new Sam Levinson-directed HBO drama, “The Idol.”

“It was the first time that I had watched it with an audience outside of like, myself and Sam and Ashley and Abel, which is just kind of how I watched the first couple episodes,” She said. “But it was incredible. It felt like such a beautiful celebration and a culmination of everything that we’ve been through together, and just kind of a beautiful process that was in the show, and creating this little family together, and it just felt really, really nice.”

Lily-Rose continued, “Especially to get to celebrate together, and we’re just so happy for the response from the room. It felt really nice to watch the reaction and everything, and finally get to share something with the world that we’re all so proud of.”
