My dad is the shit. He loves Lil’ Kim, Crank Yankers, and elaborate cakes — like the Keyboard Cat one he ordered for my high school graduation party. You know who else has a rad dad? Lily-Rose Depp. Over the summer, the 16-year-old Chanel mini-muse took part in iO Tillett Wright’s Self Evident Truths project, a portrait series capturing 10,000 people who identify anywhere on the LGBTQI spectrum. Her famous pops recently told the Daily Mail he’s fully supportive of her sexual fluidity.
“She’s got thousands [FYI Johnny, it’s actually a million] of followers on social media, and they were all taken completely by surprise,” said the actor. “But not me. I already knew because she tells me everything – she’s not afraid to say anything to me. We’re super-tight and I’m very proud of our relationship.”
He went on to praise her intelligence and beauty, despite expressing concern about how quickly she’s growing up and diving into both modeling and acting. “She’s been snatched up by Karl Lagerfeld — which is a coincidence, as he spotted her mother when she was the same age, too,” said big Depp of lil Depp’s first Chanel eyewear campaign. “When I see her with make-up and all that stuff, it’s really disturbing, because she’s a very beautiful girl, and it’s all happening so fast.”
But Johnny assured no matter what his eldest daughter is doing — whether booking modeling gigs or acting in features alongside him or Natalie Portman, “If she needs any advice, I’m there for her. Kids are going to make their own decisions, but I guess that the only thing you can do as a parent is to offer support. And I do.”
