As the daughter of actors, Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis, Lily-Rose certainly has a lot to live up to. Luckily, she is beautiful enough to be the quintessential model and talented enough to be a fascinating actress. When her parents split up, she maintained a strong relationship with both of them.
While there are some famous daughters who use their parents' fame to their advantage, Lily-Rose is humble and works hard to make a name for herself, without relying on Johnny or Vanessa. Since she's just 20, she has a lot of years to build up a legacy in the entertainment industry, just like her famous parents.
Curious about this French-American young woman? Here are 15 little known facts about Johnny Depp's daughter, Lily-Rose.
15 An Unexpected But Nice Friendship
Lily-Rose may not be known for the friendships she's made, but she is definitely close with Willow Smith, who is the daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. There is a handful of pictures of the two hanging out and they seem to love being together. Let's hope their friendship remains everlasting!
14 Wanted To Be A Singer At First
We know and love Lily-Rose for being an actress and model, but did you know that she originally wanted to be a singer?
Her mother had a song at the age of 14, but Lily-Rose told Vanity Fair, "I wanted to be a singer, but once I started acting, I felt so comfortable."
13 High School Dropout
Not everyone is destined to finish high school and that is completely okay. Many famous people have dropped out and become successful, including Lily-Rose herself. Due to her busy acting schedule, she decided to drop out at 16 and make a career in showbiz. Thankfully, it has worked out in her favor.
12 The Best Of Both Worlds
Due to the fact that mom and dad live in different countries, Lily-Rose spends a lot of time in Los Angeles and Paris. Since she has a French mother, she is bilingual.
While watching parents break up is never a fun thing for a child, Johnny and Vanessa shared joint custody of Lily-Rose before she became an adult.
11 Her Upcoming Projects
2020 is looking to be a very busy year for Lily-Rose and we are more than excited about her upcoming projects. Her movie, Dreamland, is set to be released this year and a couple more films are currently in various phases of production. She will definitely continue to work hard on her acting career.
10 Getting Through Her Issues
It takes a lot of courage to talk about a personal struggle, and Lily-Rose found that courage. People took note of her excessive weight loss, and it turned out that she had become anorexic.
It was without a doubt terrifying, but Lily-Rose came through and recovered exceptionally well. We're so happy she's ok.
9 Overcame A Troubling Illness
Unfortunately, Lily-Rose had another tough time in her life. Not only did she deal with anorexia...she had a very serious health problem as a child. She had an E.coli infection which resulted in kidney failure. Johnny recalled that this was one of the most worrying times he had as a father - he's stated that he will never stop worrying about her.
8 A Goddaughter To Someone Surprising
Given how her parents are in the spotlight and somewhat prone to rock and roll excess, Lily-Rose has a shock rocker for a godparent. To our surprise, her godfather is the rock icon, Marilyn Manson.
Since Manson does not have children of his own, it's safe to say that their bond is a wonderful one.
7 Would Rather Be Seen As Boring
A lot of normal people want to be famous, but Lily-Rose isn't obsessed with being in the public eye. This is understandable since her parents are very famous, meaning her life has always been publicized and not as private as she would like. She told Vogue that she would rather have people think she has a dull life.
6 Fully Defends Her Father
Hearing rumors about one's father is always hurtful, and Lily-Rose would certainly agree with that. When the allegations about Johnny being abusive to his ex-wife, Amber Heard, came to light, Lily-Rose had no second thoughts. She immediately sided with her father.
Her mother, Vanessa, also defended Johnny.
5 Every Girl's Dream
Having connections with famous people might just be the coolest thing ever. Lily-Rose is just like any other girl with likes, dislikes, and a unique personality. Just to show how incredible of a dad Johnny is, he invited One Direction to his home for a jam session. Lily-Rose was certainly having the time of her life at that moment.
4 Youngest Global Ambassador
There are just so many things Lily-Rose has accomplished at a young age. For instance, she became the youngest global ambassador for Chanel...at the age of 16!
Given that her mother modeled for Chanel, it's no surprise that she would follow in Vanessa Paradis' footsteps. Along with working on Chanel ad campaigns and walking the runway at Chanel fashion shows, she is a great actress.
3 Her Acting Debut
In 2014, Lily-Rose began her film career. While the role was only a cameo, she first appeared in the film, Tusk. Eventually, the movie got a spin-off, Yoga Hosers, in 2016, and she landed her first starring role in that spin-off. The film might not have gotten a great reception, but everyone has to start somewhere.
2 Not Too Keen On Social Media
Celebrities thrive on social media to stay relevant, but not every celebrity feels the same way. Lily-Rose has stated that she does not like to reveal much about herself.
She uses Instagram as her preferred social media platform. As an actress and model, that's all she really needs to connect with fans.
1 Does Not Need A Label
When it comes to her orientation, Lily-Rose needs no labels. She has advocated for LGBTQ+ rights and while she's a part of the community, she prefers to call herself gender-fluid, instead of gay, bi or pan. After all, she is Lily-Rose Depp before she is any label that anyone decides to give her.
