Johnny Depp Supports His Daughter’s Controversial Role
Johnny Depp clearly explained that he felt unaffected by the controversy when he came to present his latest film, Jeanne du Barry, by and with Maïwenn at the Cannes Film Festival. However, what about the attacks his daughter Lily-Rose Depp is facing? While the Hollywood star, at the heart of the scandal with his highly publicized divorce with Amber Heard, has built a solid shell with nearly forty years of professional experience, his 24-year-old child has been facing the media since she was young. The broadcast of her controversial series The Idol has earned her a barrage of criticism. The 59-year-old actor responded to the controversial performance of the daughter he had with Vanessa Paradis.
Johnny Depp’s Private Support
They did not pose together at Cannes, where they each had a work to defend, but they support each other privately. Citing a source close to Johnny Depp, it was reported that the actor is a “proud” father of his daughter who plays in “The Idol” a pop star plunged into depression and then under the control of a mysterious impresario played by The Weeknd/Abel Tesfaye. He supports her decision to have accepted the scandalous role of Jocelyn and believes that the controversy around the series – she can be seen nude and masturbating – is a sign that she made the right choice. If it has attracted so much attention, it is because there is a reason for the show to exist. Johnny Depp is delighted that his daughter, who has never been shy, is taking on challenges and pushing her limits. “He loves that she is so independent and forging her own career by playing characters that interest her and that she dares to test herself. She does not rest on her successes. He loves that she is so strong, especially since the avalanche of attention she has been receiving since The Idol. He is proud of her and is not going to add to the scandal and drama her role has created,” the source added.
The Idol’s Controversial Content
Furthermore, the spokesperson for the favorite actor of Tim Burton did not want to officially comment on the subject. Created by the acclaimed Euphoria’s Sam Levinson, The Idol is considered by some to be “torture porn,” a cinematic subgenre of violent, sadistic, and sexual scenes, and would convey the fantasy of rape. Johnny Depp is proud of his daughter and is not going to add to the scandal and drama her role has created.
