Johnny Depp on Supporting His Daughter Lily-Rose in Coming Out as Sexually Fluid
The actor says he is proud of her, and that she came out to him before announcing her sexuality on Instagram back in August.
Back in August, Johnny Depp’s teen daughter came out as sexually fluid when she joined the Self-Evident project. The actor has now spoken to The Daily Mail about Lily-Rose, and his words reveal a wonderful father-daughter relationship.
“She’s got thousands of followers on social media, and they were all taken completely by surprise. But not me. I already knew because she tells me everything - she’s not afraid to say anything to me. We’re super-tight and I’m very proud of our relationship.”
He goes on to brag about her talent and accomplishments, saying, “Lily’s really together - she’s a sharp kid and one of the smartest human beings I have ever met. She’s far surpassed myself there - and my friends, too!”
The Oscar-nominated actor admits that he can't help being concerned about Lily, even though she's a good kid.
"No matter how grown-up she gets, I'll never stop worrying about her. It's a father-daughter thing," Depp said. "She's got a sensible head on her shoulders, and I trust her to lead a sensible, responsible life, but I can't ever see the day coming when I just switch off to let her make her own way in the world."
The interview is really sweet. The more parents we have like him in the world, the better off we’ll all be.
