Lily-Rose Depp speaks to Sally James on her Dracula-inspired film that gave her nightmares but an experience of a lifetime

'It's Everything I Dreamed of in a Character'

Distancing herself from the ‘nepo-baby’ tag may not be easy for Hollywood actor Lily-Rose Depp. Born to Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis, the 25-year-old actor debuted in Kevin Smith’s Tusk in the year 2014. The following year, she became the face of the iconic brand Chanel. Her relationship with the fashion world has grown strong over the years. However, her recent performance in Robert Eggers’ gothic reimagining of Nosferatu is getting her the attention of critics and audiences.

Is it true that playing the role of Ellen in Nosferatu left you with nightmares?

That is true. I would say this was probably the most demanding role I have ever played, both physically and emotionally, so by the end it did take a lot out of me. So yeah, this is a character that did linger with me for a little while, but that’s what you dream of as an actor. Ellen has so many layers; she’s so complex. It’s everything I dreamed of in a role.

There is some real Oscar buzz around Nosferatu. How does it feel to be part of that?
