The 22-year-old son of actor Johnny Depp has kept out of the spotlight, reportedly working at a restaurant in Paris. Lily-Rose Depp has reflected on her bond with her younger brother, Jack Depp. “I was always a fan of the Dracula tale,” she told Fallon. “My brother and I were obsessed with Abbott and Costello as kids, and, you know, they have a whole, like, Meet the Monsters series.”.
Legendary comedy duo Bud Abbott and Lou Costello left an impression on the Depp siblings, particularly their Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein episode featuring actor Bela Lugosi. “My brother was three or four at the time and he started dressing up like Dracula and doing these kind of really serious line readings of the lines,” the 25-year-old actor recalled. “So in a way, I grew up as, like, the older sister to Dracula.”.
Now, Lily-Rose stars in Robert Eggers’s upcoming adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, titled Nosferatu, which hits theaters in the U.S. on Christmas Day. Elsewhere during her appearance, she explained how the film brought back fond memories of her 22-year-old brother. “When I got the opportunity to audition for this movie, I thought, ‘How full circle,’” she said. “Maybe I’ll get some cool points with my bro.”.
According to the Idol star, Jack has already seen the movie and he approves. “He saw the movie. He loved the movie,” she shared. “It’s the tale of a 19th-century young woman who is haunted by this ancient vampire, and from this connection follows a lot of chaos and a great story.”.
