Despite Lily-Rose Depp trying to make a name for herself in Hollywood, some people just can't get past her last name.
In a recent interview with Elle, Lily-Rose responded to allegations that she got a jumpstart in her career solely because she's the offspring of Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis.
“The internet seems to care a lot about that kind of stuff," Lily-Rose told Elle. "People are going to have preconceived ideas about you or how you got there. I can definitely say that nothing is going to get you the part except for being right for the part."
"The internet cares a lot more about who your family is than the people who are casting you in things. Maybe you get your foot in the door, but you still just have your foot in the door. There’s a lot of work that comes after that."
Saying "people on the internet care" is definitely an understatement, because a quick search on Twitter will show a string of tweets calling her a "nepotism baby," like this one:
now miss lily-rose depp... your father had roles in both of ur first acting credits. you're not shutting down the nepo baby allegations in the slightest
This one:
@fiImverse Lily rose depp, she is literally the most mediocre nepo baby and the fact that her "fans" only praise the way she dresses speaks volumes 😭
And this one:
Do ppl not understand that lily rose depp wouldn’t be famous if it wasn’t for her parents?? Like she’s not really “worked” for her career it was handed to her bc of her parents, that’s how nepotism works ??!!
