While many celebrity kids go on to bask in the fame of their parents, Johnny Depp's daughter
Lily-Rose is a little bit different.
Though she has a huge following on Instagram and has already starred in a few feature films,
she's managed to keep much of her life on the DL.
Despite her mysterious nature, here are a few facts we managed to unearth about upcoming
star Lily-Rose.
Bilingual
Lily-Rose's mother is French actress and model Vanessa Paradis, so Lily-Rose spent much of
her childhood shuttling between Paris and Los Angeles.
In an interview with the Telegraph, Paradis stressed the fact that her children do not
have American accents.
Lily-Rose showcased her fluent French in interviews for the 2016 French film The Dancer during
the Cannes Film Festival in 2016.
Singing aspirations
Her mother is the voice behind French hit "Joe le Taxi," so it's no surprise Lily-Rose
thought about following in Paradis' footsteps.
Although she seems to be focusing on her film career now, there was a time when music was
her passion; she even co-wrote a song on her mother's 2013 album Love Songs.
Why did she choose a different path?
Lily-Rose explained to Vanity Fair,
"I wanted to be a singer, but once I started acting, I felt so comfortable.
Now all I want to do is act."
With several feature films to her name already, she's definitely off to a good start.
Parental support
When the Telegraph asked Paradis in 2013 how she would feel about her daughter following
a similar career path, she confessed,
"I'd rather for her to have time to be a kid.
I mean, she already has such a spotlight on her just because of her parents."
Likewise, Johnny Depp explained to The Daily Mail that
"Her becoming an actress was never my dream or my desire for her."
We think it's safe to say he supports her dream now, since they appeared together in
the film Yoga Hosers in 2016.
High school dropout
As we've learned from plenty of wildly successful artists and entrepreneurs, schooling doesn't
always correlate with success.
As a high school dropout, Lily-Rose might just be the next addition to that list.
She told Buro 24/7 that when she decided on acting as a career, further schooling just
didn't make much sense:
"I realised after working on [The Dancer] and Planetarium in Paris that it was impossible
for me to pursue acting as a career and still attend classes and be able to do my homework."
"I want devote all my energy to acting and also be able to read, travel, and look at
as many films as I can."
Chanel
In 2016, Lily-Rose shared on Instagram that she would be working with fashion powerhouse
Chanel.
While this is her first fragrance campaign for Chanel, she's no stranger to the French
brand.
In fact, she told LOVE magazine that she has a long history with the fashion brand and
its creative director, Karl Lagerfeld, saying,
"I have been lucky enough to know Karl since I was eight – yes, half my life.
I have been so lucky to be around him and just talk to him."
Chanel definitely runs deep in the Depp household.
Her mother Vanessa Paradis also became a Chanel model as a teenager.
Self Evident
Lily-Rose made waves in 2015 when iO Tillett Wright announced on Instagram that Lily-Rose
had joined the Self Evident Project, which describes itself as "a photographic document
of 10,000 people in the USA that identify as anything other than 100% straight."
The post confused a lot of people who thought she was coming out as gay, which Lily-Rose
claims wasn't the point.
She clarified in an interview with NYLON:
"It was really misconstrued, that whole thing.
A lot of people took it as me coming out, but that's not what I was trying to do.
I was literally doing it just to say that you don't have to label your sexuality."
Social starlet
Though her Instagram following is bursting at the seams, Lily-Rose doesn't flaunt much
over social media, telling LOVE magazine that it makes her stressed.
She explained:
"I first started using social media when I was 12 or something – not publicly, I had
private accounts – but even since then people have been pretending to be me, and my brother."
Future fame
Without many social media accounts, it's hard for the average fan to get a good glimpse
into the young actress's life.
However, with her upcoming film releases, Chanel contracts, and growing success, Lily-Rose
is certainly beginning to make a name for herself.
And if she's anything like Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis, it probably won't be long
before her name is everywhere.
