Lily-Rose Depp – Said The Weeknd Was Often ‘In His Zone’ While Filming The Idol
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly in a new interview, Lily-Rose says that while working on the set of The Idol, she knew when was a good time to talk to The Weeknd, and when was a good time to completely steer away from him.
She told the publication, “I don’t think anybody went full method — nobody lost their minds. Well, sometimes when Abel would get — I don’t want to reveal too much about where Abel’s character goes, but when he would be in full Tedros mode sometimes, I would steer clear of him. I’d be like, ‘He’s in his zone right now.’”
She also praised The Weeknd by saying, “he was able to melt into this role in a way that is really difficult for anybody to do.”

Unfortunately, the critics have not been very kind to The Idol, as some of the reviews say that this is the worst drama series to ever hit the small screen.
One critic even said, “The Idol is simultaneously awful self-parody, a pretentious art project, and grotesquely exploitative of its subject matter. Sam Levinson’s dialogue is about as natural as a chicken nugget. The Weeknd’s performance is awful. It feels like a show made by CIS men cause it is.”
