‘ I got really upset,’ said ‘Nosferatu’ actor. Lily-Rose Depp has said she was traumatised from watching her father, Johnny Depp, star in Tim Burton’s gothic fantasy film Edward Scissorhands when she was a child. The 25-year-old actor and model, who is the daughter of actors Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis, has been reflecting on her father’s work in fantasy films as she has her own turn in the horror genre, starring in Robert Eggers’s adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, titled Nosferatu.

Lily-Rose stars as Ellen Hutter, a hysteric target of Bill Skarsgård’s vampire Count Orlok in the forthcoming film, which has been dubbed by The Independent as the “one of the most profoundly frightening horror films in years”. Lily-Rose said she was “traumatised” aged three when she saw her father play the titular character in Edward Scissorhands, who is a synthetic man with scissors for hands who is accused of a crime he did not commit.
“I was traumatised by it,” she told the magazine. “Not because I thought he was scary, but because everyone was being so mean to him and I got really upset.”. The actor previously starred in HBO’s The Idol portraying an up-and-coming music star who falls in with a charismatic cult leader (played by pop singer Abel Tesfaye/The Weeknd). The series was torn apart by critics , with many singling out the show’s writing and Tesfaye’s performance. It was subsequently cancelled by HBO after one season.
