Being a celebrity kid certainly comes with its share of perks. However, being discussed by your parents in print is most certainly not one of them. (Ava Phillippe, we feel for you, girl.) Lily-Rose Depp is now the latest celebrity progeny get put on Front Street in the press.
“To be honest, I’m quite worried,” Johnny Depp told German magazine Gala (as translated by the Telegraph) of his 16-year-old daughter’s modeling career. “I wasn’t expecting all this to happen to Lily-Rose, especially not at this age. But it’s her passion and she’s having fun.”

In March, Lily-Rose appeared in Chanel’s casino-themed fall/winter haute couture show at Paris Fashion Week. Since then, she’s booked a gig as the face of Chanel eyewear and several film roles, including one as famed dancer Isadora Duncan.
Young Depp’s Chanel ads were even shot by Karl Lagerfeld himself.

While it might make her father uncomfortable, Lily-Rose’s debut with Chanel is simply a birthright. Her mother, Vanessa Paradis, made her first appearance in an ad for Chanel in 1991 at age 19.
“Lily-Rose is ravishing, she is a girl from the new generation with star qualities.” Chanel head designer Lagerfeld said of Depp.
Lily-Rose’s parents, Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis, dated from 1998 to 2012. Since their split, Depp has married actress Amber Heard. The couple also had a son, who goes by Jack, in 2002.
Lily-Rose also recently made her debut in Vogue Paris, sporting a tear-stained look in a series of photos shot by Inez & Vindoodh.

It seems like the teen is doing pretty well for herself, but the fashion industry certainly isn’t easy. Fortunately, her father has already seen it all.
“She knows I’m always there for her,” Depp told Gala.
