Lily-Rose Depp Goes Naked in New Scandal Series
The actress stripped down in front of the camera. Lily-Rose Depp deliberately chose not to use a body double while filming The Idol.
Lily-Rose Depp presented her new series The Idol at the Cannes Film Festival last week. In an interview with the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung”, the French revealed, among other things, that she was not replaced by a body double in the nude scenes. “No, that’s me just the way I am,” she said, laughing. “I love my work, including this part, and I don’t mind pushing my limits for the job,” the 24-year-old continues.
The revealing scenes showed very impressively who the character was. “That’s why I wanted the scenes to be the same.” Her character, Jocelyn, is a stage actress through and through, even when she’s alone. “Every outfit, every interaction and even every inch of nudity is deliberately chosen to give the character maximum impact,” explains the French-American artist, admitting: “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with enjoying this type of work. ”
In fact, she feels most free in front of the camera, because she can let go. “Those are the moments when I don’t think too much about everything and don’t overanalyze everything,” says the daughter of former star couple Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp.
Intimacy coordinator at the shooting
In the US, the permissiveness of “The Idol” caused a scandal. “Of course it was clear to us that we were doing something very provocative. None of us wanted to please the Puritans or play it safe,” explained Lily-Rose Depp and makes it clear: “The series is certainly not for everyone. It has to not everyone likes them either. But we’re incredibly proud of them and think they’re great.”
During the shooting, an intimacy coordinator made sure that intimate scenes were treated with respect. This is important “so that everyone involved feels comfortable in front of the camera […] and everyone retains autonomy over their own body” and limits are respected. “It’s always haywire on film sets, all hell breaks loose there. I think it’s incredibly important that someone makes sure that nothing happens that shouldn’t happen,” summarized the young actress.
