Lily-Rose Depp reveals her father’s traumatising role

In the interview, Lily-Rose revealed how Depp’s portrayal of Edward Scissorhands left her “traumatised” when she was a child. She explained, “Movies are supposed to make you feel something. I was traumatised by it (Edward Scissorhands). Not because I thought he was scary, but because everyone was being so mean to him, and I got really upset."

She further expressed how her father’s fame defined her journey in Hollywood. She said, “We're very different actors, but of course, you're the product of your environment. It's a world I've always been very interested in.”

In an interview with The Daily Telegraph India, last year, Lily-Rose revealed her struggles to maintain privacy after being born to famous celebrity couple Depp and Vanessa Paradis. She said, “Every job has its own set of circumstances, and fame is the downside of acting. People are interested in things they shouldn't necessarily be interested in. The job of an actor is to go into a character, melt into it, and make the audience believe you are this character."

She continued, “To do that, it's important to protect a sense of anonymity. They're not supposed to get to know 'you' that well because you want them to believe you as other characters."
