- Lily Rose Depp claims to be “super aware” of her privilege as the nepo baby controversy continues.
- The controversy centres on the growing number of famous people’s children.
- “I’m so careful about these conversations now.
The 59-year-old actor Johnny Depp and 50-year-old actress Vanessa Paradis’ 23-year-old model daughter addressed the controversy as she posed topless for the cover of the most recent issue of i-D magazine.
The controversy centres on the growing number of famous people’s children who are pursuing careers in show business.
She told the publication when the issue came up in her chat: “I’m so careful about these conversations now.
“I feel like my parents did the best job that they possibly could at giving me the most ‘normal childhood’ that they could. And obviously, that still was not a normal childhood.
“I’m super aware of the fact that my childhood did not look like everybody’s. “But at the same time, it’s all that I know, so I have had to find comfort in it somehow.
“I’m really lucky that I’ve been surrounded by people who value normalcy and who value real life and I think that’s the only way to exist in this world and not go insane.”
Despite being bred in the modelling and acting industries, Lily admitted she has “imposter syndrome” in her new HBO cult drama “The Idol,” in which she co-stars with the show’s creator The Weeknd, 33, as the fame-hungry singer Jocelyn.
She said about landing jobs in both areas: “You just have to jump in and have some kind of faith that, if they’ve chosen me, then hopefully I’ve been chosen for a reason. That’s all that you can do.
“By that same token, I think that there’s nothing more exciting than being like, ‘Wow, I’m so nervous. I feel so challenged by this. How on earth am I going to pull this off?‘
“You could ask for no better fuel to make you want to work really, really hard. If you’re not scared, then what’s the point? I like the fear a little bit.”
