Johnny Depp has revealed that he is “proud” of his daughter Lily-Rose Depp following the release of her controversial series The Idol.
The Pirates of the Caribbean actor has spoken out in support of his daughter’s scandalous role on the screen and even believes that the worldwide uproar surrounding the film, which shows Lily-Rose Depp topless and features an explicit masturbation scene, is a sign that the young actress is “doing something right”.
The show follows “rising pop idol” Jocelyn, played by Depp, as she begins a “complicated relationship” with Tedros, played by The Weeknd, who is the manager of a nightclub and “a leader of a modern-day cult”, according to the film’s synopsis.
The sex-fuelled series, which has been criticised with labels such as “torture porn” and “rape fantasy”, contains scenes that feature masturbation, throttling and uncensored selfies of Depp. As a result, the show has been a site of much controversy and has seen the film’s creator Sam Levinson furiously slammed online.
