Johnny Depp’s daughter Lily breaks silence in first interview since dad’s ‘wife beater’ trial

Johnny Depp’s daughter Lily-Rose insisted ‘nobody’s perfect’ in her first interview since her dad lost his ‘wife-beater’ court case.

The 21-year-old, whose mum is French singer Vanessa Paradis, also described fame as a ‘silly side effect’ of a career in acting.

The Voyagers star made her comments after the world learned how Depp would scrawl messages in blood with his severed finger during rows with ex-wife Amber Heard.

‘You can’t be perfect all the time. Nobody’s perfect. Period,’ said Lily-Rose. ‘I think that’s just the fact of life.

‘But I think a big part of keeping a good head on your shoulders is just having a lot of self-awareness and never feeling like you take yourself too seriously to put your actions back into question.’

Last month Depp, 57, was denied permission to appeal after losing his defamation trial in London’s High Court. Lily-Rose says it’s instilled in her to reflect on mistakes.

‘I think it’s always good to have a good self-reflection about the things you’ve done and always thinking about how you could be better,’ she added.

However, she distanced herself from the idea of starring with her dad again following their 2016 comedy Yoga Hosers. On the prospect of another father-daughter screen appearance, she said: ‘Never say never.’

But she added to Entertainment Tonight: ‘That’s really not something that I consider first and foremost. What’s interesting to me is the particular character that I may or may not be playing and then the story that it’s telling.

‘I think when the cast then starts to fill that story out, those are other things to consider. But yeah, I mean, I love to work with great actors.’

More Guilty Pleasures…

Need a little a-cistern-ce there, Katy?

Katy Perry proves she is no loo-ser in the ‘fashun’ stakes as she shows off her yummy mummy style in a toilet cubicle.

Katy captioned her lavatory larks on Instagram: ‘You know I love a fashun bathroom mome…’

The rapper came out following his record-breaking 19 weeks at No.1 in 2019.

He tweeted: ‘Y’all told a 19 year old who had just escaped the lowest point of his life that he would never have a hit again. you told him to stop while he’s ahead. he could’ve gave up. but 4 multi platinum songs and 2 #1’s later, he’s still here. thank you to my team and my fans! ily.’

Channing, 40, who recently split from Jessie J, said: ‘I want dads not to be afraid to go into their daughters’ world and discover who they are.

‘I paint my face, I wear tutus — rarely am I around the house without some sort of costume on.’
