Johnny Depp’s daughter, Lily-Rose Depp, revealed that she decided to take her latest role in Nosferatu to impress her brother, Jack Depp.
In a conversation with her childhood friend Natalie Portman, the 25-year-old actress shared that being part of a vampire flick has earned her some “cool” points from her younger brother.
“This one, in particular, was big for me,” before giving a rare scoop from her childhood days with Jack, Lily-Rose says of her latest role, recalling, “because my brother and I both were super obsessed with Dracula when we were younger.”
“My brother used to dress up like Dracula when he was a kid for school,” she continued. “I was like, ‘Wow, if I get this part, my brother’s going to finally think I’m cool.'”
Alluding to the quintessential dynamics of sibling relationships, Depp’s daughter, whom he shares with Vanessa Paradis, said, “It’s the classic thing of when you have a younger sibling, they think you’re so cool when you’re kids, and then when you get older, now I think he’s so cool, and I’m like, ‘Let’s hang!’ And he’s like, ‘I’m busy.’ But yeah, I think I got some points with this one.”
For the unversed, Jack, 22, has remained out of the spotlight, unlike his famous family, but Lily-Rose has called him “the coolest person ever” and says he’s fully supportive of her latest starring role.
