In a rare and engaging conversation with Interview magazine, Apple, now 20 years old, opened up about her current major and her aspirations regarding acting. This insight into her life as the child of two high-profile parents provides an interesting perspective on her personal goals and the pressures that come from public scrutiny. She discussed whether she envisions a future in acting, expressing her thoughts candidly.

“I am currently pursuing a major in law, history, and society, but I wish I could have taken—maybe I will take a theater course before I graduate. It’s a fun balance between my various extracurricular activities and my major,” Apple shared. Her involvement in the prestigious Vanderbilt University theater group, Vanderbilt Original Cast, highlights her passion for the arts, demonstrating how she intertwines her academic pursuits with her love for theater.

When asked about her interest in pursuing acting, Apple admitted that she hasn’t yet acted in a film but expressed a desire to explore this art form further. She seems open to the possibility of stepping into the limelight, which could be an exciting development for her career. Her background and lineage may offer her unique opportunities should she choose to follow this path.

“I would love to participate in theater because I am so passionate about it. Although I have never acted in front of a camera, I have been trying to get involved in student films. I was born into the world of theater,” she added, indicating her strong affinity for performing arts. This inclination towards performance not only reflects her upbringing but also her intent to carve her own niche in the entertainment industry.

Regarding her musical talent, Apple commented on whether she shares a singing voice similar to her father’s. “Yes, I have a very low voice, so whenever we are doing harmonies, it’s usually like, ‘Alright, it’s the boys and Apple,’” she remarked, showcasing her unique vocal ability. This insight into her musical background adds another layer to her artistic profile, indicating that she might have diverse talents beyond acting.

During her internship with the publication in 2023, Apple also discussed her strategies for navigating social media as the daughter of two incredibly famous celebrities. This experience has likely shaped her perspective on fame and privacy, allowing her to reflect on the challenges that come with public attention.

Although she mentioned that she typically avoids reading what is written about her online, Apple admitted to checking the reactions after making her debut at Paris Fashion Week during the Chanel fashion show. This moment was pivotal for her, as it marked her entrance into the world of fashion, and the scrutiny that followed is something many public figures face.

“After the Chanel show, I did check the online reactions. However, I quickly grasped why everyone advises against it. Even if there are countless positive comments, just one negative remark can be devastating,” Apple shared when discussing her experience with public opinion. “So, I’ve stopped now and avoid it like the plague, as I know that if I see something untrue that upsets me, I might feel like, ‘Oh my god, I should never go out in public again,’” she added, revealing her understanding of the mental toll that comes with public scrutiny.

However, it was not just her runway appearance that stirred conversations online; it was her participation in the Le Bal des Débutantes in Paris the following November 2024 that truly captured attention. A video of her and fellow debutante Aliénor Loppin de Montmort posing together went viral on TikTok, with many commenting on Apple’s energy as “off-putting.” This incident indicates the intense scrutiny public figures face, especially young ones stepping into the spotlight.

In the midst of the controversy, Aliénor came to Apple’s defense, describing her as “the nicest girl ever” who “doesn’t deserve an ounce of” backlash. This shows the camaraderie among young debutantes navigating the complexities of fame. Meanwhile, proud mother Gwyneth, who also has a son, Moses, 18, with Chris Martin, expressed her admiration for her daughter during a Vanity Fair interview in March, stating that her children are “beautiful, unassuming, and down-to-earth.”

Apple, who maintains a private social media account with just 1,700 followers, has shared that she is striving to cope with the negative aspects of online attention. She expressed her efforts to focus on “being the best” version of herself with the people she cares about. This demonstrates her awareness of the importance of mental health in the age of social media.

“I’ve tried to adopt the mindset that ‘people are going to say things, and that’s okay.’ Like everyone, there will be untrue and upsetting comments, and all I can do is be the best I can be and surround myself with the people I love while ignoring the random, crazy conspiracies,” she concluded. This perspective highlights her maturity in handling public scrutiny and her commitment to her well-being.
