Lily-Rose Depp

Lily-Rose Depp (birthname: Lily-Rose Melody Depp) is an actor who began as a successful model with such labels as Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld while starting to appear in American and French films, starting with a small role in director/writer Kevin Smith’s Tusk (2014), with Justin Long, and then again with Smith as co-star of the failed horror-comedy, Yoga Hosers (2016), with Harley Quinn Smith, and premiering to poor reviews at the Sundance Film Festival.

Depp co-starred in director/co-writer Stephanie Di Giusto’s biopic on dancer Loie Fuller, The Dancer (2016), with Soko, Gaspard Ulliel, Melanie Thierry, and Louis-Do de Lencquesaing, and premiering in the Un Certain Regard competition at the Cannes Film Festival. Depp co-starred with Natalie Portman and Emmanuel Salinger in director/co-writer Rebecca Zlotowski’s French-Belgian drama, Planetarium (2016), premiering at the Venice Film Festival, and then Depp co-starred in director/co-writer/co-star Louis Garrel’s comedy-drama, L’Homme fidèle  (2018), with Laetitia Casta and Joseph Engel, and which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival before earning a $2 million gross.

Lily-Rose Depp portrayed Catherine in director/co-writer David Michôd’s film adaptation of Shakespeare’s Henry V trilogy, The King (2019), co-produced by Brad Pitt and starring Timothée Chalamet (in the title role), with Joel Edgerton (who also co-wrote), Sean Harris, Robert Pattinson and Ben Mendelsohn, and released both theatrically and on streaming by Netflix after premiering at the Venice Film Festival. Depp played a supporting role in director/writer/producer Nicholas Jarecki’s crime thriller, Crisis (2021), co-starring Gary Oldman, Armie Hammer, Evangeline Lilly, Greg Kinnear, Michelle Rodriguez, Kid Cudi, and Martin Donovan, and released to over $1 million returns for Quiver Distribution.

Depp co-starred with Tye Sheridan, Fionnula Whitehead, and Colin Farrell in director/co-writer/producer Neil Burger’s sci-if thriller, Voyagers (2021), but was a disaster for distributor for Lionsgate/Summit Entertainment (as well as international distributors Universal Pictures/Focus Features/Sky Cinema/Vertical Entertainment) with $4.2 million returns against $29 million costs. Depp appeared in a supporting role in director/writer Camille Griffin’s black comedy, Silent Night (2021), with Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode, Roman Griffin Davis, and Annabelle Wallis, and distributed by RLJE Films after premiering at the Toronto Film Festival.

Lily-Rose Depp starred with George MacKay, Paddy Considine, and Eileen Walsh in director/writer/producer Nathalie Biancheri’s Irish-Polish psychological drama, Wolf (2021), released by Focus Features after premiering at the Toronto Film Festival. Depp delivered a spectacular performance opposite Nicholas Hoult and Bill Skarsgård in filmmaker Robert Eggers’ stylish remake of F.W. Murnau’s 1922 silent Dracula-inspired tale, Nosferatu (2024), with Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin, Ralph Ineson, and Willem Dafoe, and released wide by Focus Features (US) and Universal Pictures (ex-US).

Depp then co-starred with Renate Reinsve and Hoyeon in director/co-writer Joe Talbot’s The Governesses (date to be announced), backed by BBC Films and the filmmaker’s latest since his superb American indie, The Last Black Man in San Francisco (2019).
