Lily-Rose Depp’s No Regrets About Starring in The Idol

Lily-Rose Depp is sharing her insights and experiences from her role in the highly discussed series The Idol.

After her notable performance alongside The Weeknd (whose real name is Abel Tesfaye), who co-created the show with Sam Levinson, the talented 25-year-old embraces all the conversations surrounding her role. She confidently expresses her satisfaction with her decision to take the lead in this thought-provoking and explicit series, which has garnered significant attention and mixed reactions.

In an interview with Vanity Fair published on November 21, Lily-Rose stated, “I love it. Honestly, I love it.” She elaborated, saying, “You create something with the hope that it resonates with audiences. We anticipated that some viewers might find it challenging or overwhelming. Nevertheless, I stand by our creative choices—we took risks, and I believe it was worth it.”

Her character, Joselyn, is a complicated pop star who becomes entangled with a manipulative club promoter named Tedros (played by The Weeknd), leading to a dramatic transformation in her life and career. The series, though short-lived, sparked extensive discussions on social media each week, often criticized for its provocative themes and storyline.
