Lily-Rose Depp doesn’t care if people want to see her fail because she’s out to prove people wrong.

“I feel like people have been ready to see me fail, in a way, since I was a kid. That has

I mean... "The Idol" failed pretty spectacularly.

[ladychips]

sorry but i just cant root for her after she chose to be a part of the idol

[bigirons]

to be fair, by all accounts it was a very different show when she signed on/initially shot it

[anterrabre]

It was a very different (and much more interesting series) with the original showrunner; Abed and Sam Levinson made a lot of changes (all terrible) to the script once they signed on, and we got...that.

The idol had so much potential before they ruined it. I need to know what could've been!

[cbluechicken]

The idol really could’ve been a good show about a pop star bounces back. The 2nd episode where she was filming the music video was great. Too bad it turned into some weird torture porn

Also World Class Sinner is a bop

[yankeesarelove]

agreed- it could've been such a fun premise!! and then it went off the rails and i was like, im out

The first two episodes before Able took over were golden. I cherish them deeply

I really felt like the 2nd episode was strongly based off Britney's experiences 2009-2016

But Rob [Eggers, Nosferatu director] was one of my bucket list directors. I didn’t think I would get to work with him so soon, so early in my career.

Gee, I wonder how that happened! Must’ve been all that super hard work, you hard working lady you!

There is a certain amount of privilege in thinking that the possibility of working with a well-known director is merely a matter of time rather than a "maybe someday" hope
i'm not passing judgment, i'm just fascinated by the way nepo babies view the world

[steffi_333]

I think a lot of them don't want to address the nepo-ness of their success and fall back on this annoying false modesty instead

[rabbitofalice]

it's not even the question of false modesty, but her phrasing that screams of nepotism
i'm sure she doesn't even realise it
