Lily Rose Depp blasts nepotism baby label, despite being the very definition of a nepotism baby

And your parents wrote a check to the medical school and asked their friends on the admission committee to help you out.

She goes on to call it sexism.

She’s an idiot and she’d get a pass if it didn’t scream victim / entitlement / spoiled brat.

She is beautiful though and could have made it as an actor and model on her own, despite her lack of height.

What a whiner.

Casting directors know they can capitalize on PR from a celebrity kid. It's not that easy to break into and she's not that good of an actress.

Take a look at that Kevin Smith movie she did. Johnny Depp made a cameo and Kevin Smith cast his own kid in it.

It's moronic to think she succeeded entirely on her own merit. Absolutely not.

There a million prettier girls in LA trying to break into the business. There’s no way of knowing if she might have made it on her own so, she should probably just STFU about it.

I love looking at her face; her eyes are mesmerising. I think she's a fantastic model for Chanel cosmetics.

Nepo baby ? She trained at the RADA for 4 years, then joined the National Youth Theatre for another 2 years, and personally saw her Ophelia at the Chalk Garden, she was divine, so STFU , haters. Oh....wait... did you mean Lily "Rose-Depp" ?

She's either an idiot or has little/no management (or some combination); there's just no parallel of the work & discipline it requires to be a doctor, even if you do get a leg up with your parents and getting acting jobs because of a famous family member. She should just acknowledge that the name might get you in the door, but you still have to perform once you get in the door. Show some humility & self-awareness, but assert yourself as a working professional.

But I don't think there's any question that her father's diminishing fortunes & her own stagnant career.

is she even a working actress, seriously, ? I thought she looked like a baby Faye, but lost interest the minute she opened her mouth in a youtube thing for vogue . and " I lost my Chanel gold ring in the toilets in Cannes, but they were kind enough to give me a new one for my birthday " = gurl, just no !

She's not even pretty

She's got her mother's looks and her father's brains, poor thing.

Funny how so many actors USED TO say they would NEVER want their kid in showbiz.

[quote]She is beautiful though and could have made it as an actor and model on her own, despite her lack of height.

I find her kind of dull. She doesn’t have that energy that compels you to look. She’s pretty enough but so what?

100 % agreed. The nepo baby "label" is disgusting and mysogynistic

I was molested

Bitch should have kept her mouth shut.

Is this family becoming the new Farrows ? what's next ? the retarded brother's "truth" ?

Im thinking an interview asked Lily Rose Depp about this and she answered the question based on her experience. The answer is incorrect.

Nepotism opens doors and provides opportunities that others won't receive based on lack of access.

It isn't enough to sustain a career or an audience's interest in a performer.

Who is the mom? I can't be bothered to google it.

It's ancient pop singer/model/actress/face-of-Chanel Vanessa Paradis, who's claim to stardom is a hit in the UK in the late 80's. AKA Tired hag Vanessa Paradis, the druggie.

R20 Vanessa Paradis

Vanessa at least was charming , Lily Rose has just an abnormal forehead.

[quote] Lily Rose has just an abnormal forehead.

No she hasn't.

whose claim. Fuck Fuck fuck

Obviously being raised in France did not assist in, like, language skills.

Gorgeous face but her legs are incredibly stumpy. Even when she is rail thin she has them.

Right, because being hired as a model because of who her father is is the same as getting accepted to, and successfully completing, medical school. This is Gwyneth-level stupidity.

Does she still have to put out like all the other newbies?

I could see her saying this if she toiled as an intern after studying theatre at RADA or Julliard but the bitch got a Chanel contract in her teens after dropping out of high school. This is solely due to who her parents are.

I will gladly contribute to a gofundme for her MCAT prep course. I refuse to pay for GED classes.

Hi Vanessa @ r8.

R26 given that her french mother still has to discover "bathing " and " washing your hair", and her father initiated her to drugs "because she'll do it anyway, might as well do it with someone who loves her ", she's doing okay. Most girls in her position would be behind a window in Amsterdam's red district by now

Angelina Jolie, nepo

Winona Ryder, nepo

Gwyneth Paltrow, nepo

Johnny Depp, no family in the industry but he was dating a girl who knew Nicholas Cage

Nicholas Cage, nepo

Jennifer Anniston, nepo

Im watching Carlito's Way on a streaming service

The female lead, always irritated as a washed out nothing who inexplicably landed large projects. Then I looked up her pedigree.

Vanessa herself is a nepo baby, she was pushed in the industry aged 3, on national television, by her producer uncle

How many times did she suck Tim O’Tay’s dick? That’s all I want to know.

Tim,nepo.

Used a high profile relationship with Madonnas daughter for the clout.

[quote] Tim O’Tay’s dick

there isn't such a thing. Tim O'tay has a clit

She would have a fascinating face for a socialite, but too odd for film or modeling. Did she get gigantic cheek implants at some point?

Her body is too odd to sell- very short in stature, minuscule torso, big clompy legs. There is no world but the nepotism world where she could model.

R37: Little lord cigarette.

"There's lemons on sale again."

Nepo does not mean that you don't deserve it. It means doors are opened to you that others who are equally deserving won't have access to.

Julia Roberts, nepo

I think she’s unremarkable and I’m sure she’ll never be a famous actress. We’ll always know her as pigpens daughter

It’s interesting the celebrities who escape the nepo label and those who will never live it down. Goop and Kate Hudson are called nepo babies all the time but Angie and Julia aren’t criticized and struck with that label despite being beneficiaries of nepotism.

who's Julia ?

Saint Angie's dad is Jon Voight. Her godmother,Jacqueline Bisset.

R45: Roberts and still thriving in 2022!

I think Angelina possibly would have made it without connections because once she tweaked her face, she had very strong looks and a strong personality. She would have stood out from the pack. Can’t stand her though.

Mara girls.

Nepo. Terribly so.

Juliette Lewis, love her. Nepo.

Drew Barrymore, nepo. Love her too.

Lily-Rose is technically double nepo or “deppo”

Like those fug offspring of Bruce and Demi or the Beecham brood.

Where did she train? The Tampa Academy of Dramatic Tricks?

The Barrymores were an acting family for four generations.

She's got her father's cold eyes and her mother's disdainful countenance. I don't find her attractive at all.

I think the ones that aren’t known as nepo babies are the ones who have some talent

Isabella Rossellini, love her.

Nepo baby

Angelina Jolie might have a famous dad but he had very little to do with her. Please don’t compare the drop dead gorgeous Jolie to this vacuous bridge troll.

R34 to be fair Nic changed his last name from Coppola to Cage because he didn't want the nepotism.

But come on. How many of these people if refused a job wouldn't pull the "do you know who I am" schtick?

People have known about Lily Rose since she was a baby.

Nepo babies get their first jobs and opportunities due to personal relationships they are born to, r57. Name change does not change this.

Check his profile on IMDB

Drew Barrymore's child stardom was more due to her star climbing mom than her name.

Love her!

She's too cold, remote and haughty to make much of an actress. Gwyneth was a bitch on wheels and a nepo baby but she did have some charisma and screen presence at her peak. Depp has none.

R60 it was both. Ambitious stage mom who used the Barrymore name as a currency.

And I love Drew Barrymore

Yeah for our gen but people her age will swallow whatever.

Liv Tyler, nepo baby

R63 No, Drew said her last name didn't help because they were so old and she had to make it for herself.

Although she was the ET kid so that definitely helped.

Well, if the name had no value, why did they use it instead of the mothers maiden name.

Michael Douglas? Nepo baby

Jamie Lee Curtis (great)

Carrie Fisher (love her)

Robert Downey Jr.(great)

Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez (ick)

Kiefer Sutherland (double ick)

George Clooney (likable enough)

Sean Astin (underrated)

Josh Brolin (good actor)

Then the whole category of directors' girlfriends: Kate Capshaw, Nancy Allen, that fat broad who was in all the disaster films

Margaret Qualley, nice try with the last name honey but you're a nepo baby.

This dumbass needs to be taught how to do better analogies.

Hollywood is not medicine, law, academia, science and other careers like sports, musician and trades that rely on actual skill and breadth of knowledge. It's akin to politics and corporate where money, connections and looks gets your foot in the door. It's all about image. It's so narcissistic these Hollywood actors and models think they're on par with actual people who worked hard at their craft and vocation to have a steady income.

Liza Minnelli? Nepo baby

[quote] The Barrymores

and the Drews go way back to Shakespeare time

Gwyneth at her best is a terrific actress, she is also stage trained. Roberts can't do the stage, she was a disaster in "3 days of rain". Mia Farrow could play the classics at the RSC (frst american to join ever). Vanessa Redgrave is a great stage and screen actress, hit or miss, but great. Jane did broadway only once, with Henry, the critics only commented that she looked like her dad in a wig. I don't think one can generalize under the "nepo" umbrella, there's zero talent, genius, and everything in between. The Depp girl belongs to the zero talent crowd, IMO. daughters can do very well; sons are more often than not mediocre. Rarely do you see a Tyrone Power

R1= Lori L.aughlin

I have never ever heard anyone describe Gwyneth Paltrow as a great actress, ever. In film or onstage.

R77 she had raving reviews in London, for Proof, she gave terrific performances in "two lovers", "the talented mr Ripley", and many more. And I share the unpopular opinion that she deserved every inch of her oscar for SIL. she was radiant, natural, and just magical. She knocked the supermodels off the magazine covers and brought glamor back to Hollywood.

Ugh.

I feel bad for her being ridiculed about her stumpy legs, but I noticed them too, lol. I have some cankleage myself, Lily. On the plus side, you'll never turn an ankle.

That cranium, though. It's bordering on hyrdrocephaly. And she's got a weird hairline. She does have nice cheekbones and willowy arms.

[quote]The Proportions Troll

Can you imagine if Lyli-Rose and Ronan-Sinatra Allen Farrow had a baby ?

r70 I thought Qually was great in Maid. That was before I knew she was Andie's daughter.

Carrie Fisher was loads of fun, and you just have to like her, but she was one lousy actress

Hayley and Juliet Mills

Jack Davenport

Keira Knightley

Helena Bonham-Carter

Lawrence and Emilia Fox

Christian Slater, of all people

Juliet Mills was perfect in NO; MY DARLING DAUGHTER, her film debut, with DL fave Michael Craig

Keira Knightly?! Who is the string puller for her?

Yeah, people are pulling names out of the air now.

It is not really pulling strings, its door opening and nothing wrong with it.

Keira's parents are both in the business, her mother is an agent IIRC

This whole “nepo baby” shit exhausts me. She’s a talentless plain faced stick, but I don’t disagree with her. Every job someone has ever gotten is based on what connections you have.

Having a rich or well known parent isn’t nepotism. Winona Ryder’s father knowing Timothy Leary isn’t nepotism, you utter retards.

R91 = Wino"s dad

Back on the sauce

Don't they say that Jake and Chalameté are nepo babies too? Misandry!

Lily is a very pretty girl, but at 5'3 she would have gotten near the modeling industry without the last name of Depp. She's not like Kaia Gerber, who wouldn't have the fame she has if she were Kaia Smith, but you could see her as a reasonably successful runway model--she has the height, the walk, and the look.

Lily also has none of her father's charisma and would have no acting career without her dad. It's really hilarious that she talks about work and training when she does none and has none.

*would never have gotten near

Model Vittoria Cerretti read her for filth. I can't figure out how to link it or cut and paste it, but damn. I'm now a fan

Maybe she should play guitar like her dad, too.

R95 Both the Gerber kids , the girl and her brother, have horrid bitch faces. They both look like entitled little shits.

Nope r3. She's a shit actress.

She's rather plain and unattractive in r5 photo.

She was hilarious in When Harry Met Sally r83.

At least half of the entertainment industry would be gone if nepotism wasn’t a thing. Many of these people are basic looking, without their mommy and daddy to pay for their cosmetic surgeries, talentless, and vapid as fuck.

It's sort of hilarious that there is no current plastic surgery that can fix Apple Martin's wonky eyes.

Maybe she'll "grow into her looks" lol

😏

[quote] Apple Martin's wonky eyes...

...are the least of her problems.

^ I don't see a problem

No one has mentioned Lily Collins. Nepo to the max.

She seems and looks slow. Just like pappy!

because mommy is such a bright bulb !

I'm with you gurl!

Wow Lily Rose is Marilyn Monroe compared to that plain Jane bure girl.

R108 no one ever mentions lily collins

[quote]Carrie Fisher was loads of fun, and you just have to like her, but she was one lousy actress

I will hear no talk against Carrie's performance in The 'Burbs!

[quote]given that her french mother still has to discover "bathing " and " washing your hair", and her father initiated her to drugs "because she'll do it anyway, might as well do it with someone who loves her ", she's doing okay.

Given that her godfather is Marilyn Manson, I'm surprised she's not doing even worse.

R113, well someone is watching Emily In Paris, it's just not me.

I'm sorry, but Vanessa's tooth gap is *not* attractive (yes, yes, I know...Lauren Hutton notwithstanding). It looks like you drive a train through that!

I think Lily Collins is a decent actress. Yes, her Dad is Phil Collins. But she seems to have a little talent at least.

Bland as fuck.

The problem with a lot of these nepo rich baby actors is that they grow up so sheltered and spoiled that there is a calm detachment to them that makes them unbelievable as actors. DL hates JLaw and thinks that Julia Roberts is a massive bitch ( which she is) but you can tell that they've both seen a bit of the world before they were famous and it makes them better at acting.

I want to add that when I say they've seen a bit of the world before fame I don't mean in the sense that people like Lily Depp have, i.e. visiting Paris or London. I mean meeting people from different socioeconomic backgrounds, having to worry about bills, going to a public school, that sort of thing.

JLaw started acting at age 14...her mother took her to NYC, and that was that.

What of the world do you think she's actually seen beyond scripts, tv shows, modeling and movies, r120?

R121 seriously?

They WANT people to like them. They have a hunger that these entitled people, whose parents were worshipped and households were full of paid sycophantic staff, will never understand.

The nepotism babies don't care if we are entertained by them. If the audience likes or wants to watch them. They'll be on the screen anyway. And it's galling.

R119 I see now you meant Jennifer Lawrence, but JLaw will always be Jude Law to me so I was confused at first. He's a wonderful actor and I think DL rather likes him.

Yes, i'm sorry I thought you meant Jennifer Lawrence.

I love Jude Law. He's a great actor and very easy on the eyes as well! ;-)

What’s up with Sam Levinson? Is he a perv who gets off on slutting-up young women in his shows? He’s seems dark.

Johnny Depp is obviously arrogant, but so is Vanessa Paradis. An interviewer asked her a few years ago if she feels lucky to have so much money and luxury, her response was something like: "Luck? I deserve all this." Vanessa is also a talentless nepotism case. Her uncle was a famous actor who acted as her manager and got her a record deal at 14.

Lily Rose is a spoilt brat because she was raised by two ego maniacs.

They seem like a disgusting family.

[quote]At least half of the entertainment industry would be gone if nepotism wasn’t a thing.

From scrolling the posts I think you may have underestimated. It might be something like 90%. Is there anyone who definitely ISN'T a nepo?

R129 I guess most Australian actors

R126 the short answer is yes.

R102 I saw that shit twice and didn't even notice Carrie Fisher was in it. Nobody remembers that she was in Hannah and her sisters either. That's pretty damning for an actress who's been in one of the biggest franchise ever.

[quote] given that her french mother still has to discover "bathing " and " washing your hair", and her father initiated her to drugs "because she'll do it anyway, might as well do it with someone who loves her ", she's doing okay. Given that her godfather is Marilyn Manson, I'm surprised she's not doing even worse.

and her step mother is Amber ? OMG, she's doomed

R57 Nicholas Cage wanted nepotism, his famous uncle pushed him in the industry, but he didn't want to be known as nepo.

They don't get the benefits by strangers, but by close people who know who they are no matter the names.

Juliette Lewis and Libra Tyler and very likable even though they’re nepo babies

So fucking stupid pulling the sexism card. You are in movies because of your father twat its not like you had to go through the casting process like a regular person.

Lily Rose looks like the porn star version of Natalie Portman. Very trashy-looking young lady.

Vanessa has aged terribly. She was pretty for about 10 minutes in her late teens, and it was all downhill after that. She has a genuine meth addict look.

R137, you know, you're going to do hard drugs anyway, so might as well share these moments with your children. The meth addict look can be very chic in Chanel .

I agree that Paltrow has some talent onscreen, as do some of the other nepo cases like Michael Douglas and Benedict Cumberbatch. But there is really something to be said for an actor like James McAvoy, who came from nothing and saw a lot of the dark side of life by the time he was 20. It gives his performances a gravitas that you don't see in the seriously privileged.

(r139 = James McAvoy)

Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch was born on 19 July 1976 at Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospital in the London district of Hammersmith, to actors Timothy Carlton (born Timothy Carlton Congdon Cumberbatch) and Wanda Ventham....

He grew up in the borough of Kensington and Chelsea. He has a half-sister, Tracy Peacock, from his mother's first marriage.

His grandfather, Henry Carlton Cumberbatch, was a submarine officer of both World Wars, and a prominent figure of London high society.

His great-grandfather, Henry Alfred Cumberbatch, was a diplomat who served as consul in Turkey and Lebanon,and his great-great-grandfather, Robert William Cumberbatch, also was a British consul in Turkey and the Russian Empire.

His great-great-great-grandfather, Abraham Parry Cumberbatch, was a wealthy slave owner in Barbados, West Indies.

Cumberbatch is third cousin 16 times removed of King Richard III, whom he portrayed in The Hollow Crown.

He attended Richard III's 2015 reburial and read a poem.

Juno Temple,

Juno Temple was born the daughter of film producer Amanda Pirie and film director Julien Temple.

She has two younger brothers, Leo and Felix. Her aunt Nina Temple was the last General Secretary of the Communist Party of Great Britain.

She grew up in Taunton, Somerset, where she attended Enmore Primary School, Bedales School, and King's College.

Isabella Fiorella Elettra Giovanna Rossellini was born the daughter of Swedish actress Ingrid Bergman and Italian director Roberto Rossellini,

Benedict Cumberbatch looks like an albino possum . He's physically revolting, and he has all the talent of a community college glee member on the spectrum. Unless hit father is the General secretary of he british equity and his mother is a media mogul, I can't fathom his existing as an actor

Remember when Meryl threw him some shade for his behaviour on Osage County r144? Good times.

R144 I don't mind him personally but I never grasped why he had such an intense and devoted following.

R138 Vanessa looks alright in professional lighting, like music videos and red carpets, but she looks ghastly in direct sunlight, like ones of those hairless, wrinkled cats.

No. I don't recall and I was silly enough to click on the link to read this, it is nothing

"The 64-year-old August: Osage County star appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday, Jan. 15 , 2014!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and opened up about what it was like filming the family drama in Bartlesville, OK.

"Well, it was my idea that we all live together in a condo village behind the Toyota dealership," the Oscar nominee explained to Jimmy Kimmel. "This went over really well with some of the members of the cast."

The actress then revealed that Margo Martindale, Abigail Breslin, Julia Roberts, Chris Cooper, Ewan McGregor and Dermot Mulroney all took part in this unique living situation. One name was noticeably missing from the star-studded crowd: the Sherlock star.

"Actually Benedict Cumberbatch was in a special hotel designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, which is in the center of Bartlesville," Streep said with a slight air of disapproval with his choice of lodging while on location. And name-dropping the famous architect.

"Well, when your name's Benedict Cumberbatch, you can't stay in a condominium," Kimmel quickly responded.

"You can't cumberbatch down to where we are, no," Streep quipped.

Zing! And Streep used the British thesp's last name as a verb."

Melanie Richards Griffith is an American actress.

She began her career in the 1970s, appearing in several independent thriller films before achieving mainstream success in the mid-1980s.

Born in Manhattan, New York City, to actress Tippi Hedren and advertising executive Peter Griffith,

I can barely stand to look at Robert's face at 6 : am, but certainly not at Streep"s

Dakota Johnson,

Dakota Mayi Johnson is an American actress.

The daughter of actors Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith, she made her film debut at age ten with a minor role in the dark comedy film Crazy in Alabama (1999) with her mother.

Tracee Ellis Ross,

Tracee Joy Silberstein known professionally as Tracee Ellis Ross, is an American actress. She is the daughter of actress and Motown recording artist Diana Ross and Robert Ellis Silberstein.

Lily has lost a lot of weight since she was first in the public eye. She was chubby by Hollywood standards and yes, her legs were thick, but now they’re fine. They are just not long.

Chloe Rose Lattanzi, is an American - Australian singer and actress.

She is the daughter of the late singer and actress Olivia Newton-John and actor Matt Lattanzi.

In October 2010, Lattanzi's debut single "Wings and a Gun" was released digitally in Japan.

Would the Wikipedia troll kindly fuck off?

Has benedict Cumberbatch had a face transplant ?

She looks like a whore darlin

No. You cunts are just tossing random names out of your prolapse as "nepo".

Idiots

You're more of a lowllife than Depp, OP, for thinking that it's perfectly okay to attack children. She didn't pick out her father, she's got stuck with him. Just like you got stuck with that whore you call mother.

R141, here's the poem!

I have a sexy voice even when I am Smaug

This somewhat makes up for me being a dog

Richard the Third was a bit of brat

His bones have evidently been chewed on by the cat

In a stately great tomb they shall now be interred

Sic Gloria Mundi, Richard the Third

[Quote] I don't mind him personally but I never grasped why he had such an intense and devoted following.

You can blame some of that on the Sherlock fandom. Cracks me up that Benedict and Martin don't get along yet they're both part of the Marvel verse now.

The problem is that she is bad.

A really bad actress with no presence and no range.

R162 when ? I agree that she's bad and shouldn't work, but she, in fact DOESN'T work. Or does playing that nothing part in the flop serie with Chalamet years ago count as a career ?

Wasn’t she in a movie with kevin smiths daughter? That’s all I can think of.

R163 what was the name of that film? I can't remember. I do recall that Timothee and Depp were both terrible in it.

R163

I saw her in four French films:

- La Danseuse starring Soko (Lily-Rose plays Isadora Duncan)

- Planetarium where she plays Natalie Portman younger sister

- Les Fauves with Laurent Lafitte (from best french theatre Comédie Française)

- L’Homme Fidèle with Louis Garrel

And Lily-Rose is really bad.

No presence, stone face, no grace and no charisma. Robotic.

I only saw her in one American film: « Voyagers »

She was totally forgettable.

I would like to like her but she is a worse actress than Kim K. (who is not an actress, I know.)

[quote] I saw her in four French films: - La Danseuse starring Soko (Lily-Rose plays Isadora Duncan) - Planetarium where she plays Natalie Portman younger sister - Les Fauves with Laurent Lafitte (from best french theatre Comédie Française) - L’Homme Fidèle with Louis Garrel

Oh ! that was you !

R153 She has cankles. Dieting won’t ever get rid of those.

We EARNED our own movie

[quote]what was the name of that film? I can't remember. I do recall that Timothee and Depp were both terrible in it.

The King, a Netflix movie

Nepo babies don't learn that much and don't have a variety of life experiences that they can bring to their work. Take Jessica Chastain one of the few girls in the industry who got where she is by dream, ambition, and hard work alone. No wonder she broke out relatively late for a female actor. There's a certain depth and mystery to her performances.

When younger, Lily Rose Depp and Anna Sophia Robb were almost identical.

Vanessa and Lily look very trailer park.

Harley actually wasn't too bad in Cruel Summer. Or maybe it's that her character wasn't a total asshole compared to everyone else 🤔

I'm surprised nobody has ever made this a political issue. They never shut the fuck up about diversity, women, and equal pay in the industry. Nepotism is rampant in the industry and not just in acting. It's everywhere from directing to even production assistants on set.

R167

Are you kidding me?

Never paying in a cinema, always at home on Canal +

R173

They look like trailer park and ultimately they are trailer park.

Lily-Rose Depp is basic white trash and following in her father's footsteps perfectly.

The French are very trashy. Even in Quebec they are the trashiest people.

R180 How so? What makes them trashy?

Did she shit her bed like how her ex stepmom did?

R182 Hi Johnny 👋

R180

Les Québecquois ne sont pas français.

Ce sont des Américains qui parlent une sorte de français, pratiquement incompréhensible.

Quand à vous, je vous emmerde à pied, à cheval et en voiture.

Maude Apatow is just as egregious a nepo baby. If not more so. She doesn’t even have the looks to be an “usual” model.

The way they behave, the way they dress, the way they talk and guffaw. Their music and arts. A guy who farted was on of the French’s most popular entertainers in the 19th century.

R138 Wow, Vanessa is probably one of the ugliest woman in the world, it's incredible, she has all the money and all the beauty products and surgery to look at least decent and look at her.....she can't look decent not even at red carpets events, and at the beach she is just revolting.

I remember that during the 90s she was considered "sexy" and attractive, it lasted 5 minutes ( just in time to have a flirt with Lenny Kravitz to public some music and to marry Johnny Depp).

Lily Rose has never been pretty i fear she won't have her 5 minutes of beauty.

R181 Poor hygiene.

Despite all the beauty products, perfumes, soaps, the french always look like they shower once every two weeks.

John Travolta's daughter is gorgeous and seems grounded. I don't think she wants to be an actress - but I could be wrong.

I give Liv Tyler a pass. She seems nice.

Her face is ok, but she’s obviously not statuesque, charismatic or extremely talented. She looks like a suburban Lolita from Scottsdale, Arizona.

Yeah r190 even though their parents seem like freaks Liv and her sister seem very sweet

Who is not a nepotism baby? Most are Boomer or Gen X because Hollywood nepotism has become ubiquitous in the past two decades.

Tom Cruise - Jersey guy

Elizabeth Banks - Ivy League

Connie Nielsen (sp?) - a model?

Heather Graham - dad was FBI agent

Johnny Depp - Kentucky

Jessica Lange - Minnesota

Kevin Kline, William Hurt, William H. Macy (all had parents in State Department related occupations)

Maybe the first two or three casts of SNL minus Robert Downey, Jr. but it's possible I missed one

SJP - Ohio

Edward Norton - heir to real estate development fortune

Amy Adams - Western Mormon origins

I wish she could act. "What was the name of that club?" Sounds like she flubbed her line in that Idol trailer.

Just what we need though. Another movie about a pornstar.

Of course this hobos going to be in a show made by The Weeknd. His face changed again.

When Johnny Depp was young and dressed in drag in films he was a more beautiful woman than Lily. I'm sorry, but it's the truth and I've never been a big Johnny fan (except Ed Wood - he was brilliant and charming in that role.)

Lily has the shortest legs on the face of the Earth.

I can't speak to her acting because I've never seen her work, but her modelling career is 100% nepotism and social media.

[quote]drop dead gorgeous Jolie to this vacuous bridge troll.

Not since Gia. She's scary looking these days.

Models left and right are coming for her now. Explaining what it's like when a nepo baby breezes in the room, steals your job, and leaves you stranded in another country and you can't call your parents for help because you're the one helping them.

WTF, R199?

R200 see

She’s not an attractive woman. Anything attractive about her is all makeup.

R202 that's 90% of women

Her cheekbones are huge and look kinda fake. I know but parents have prominent cheekbones, but Lily's teenage face is much flatter than her 20-something face. Loss of baby fat isn't the answer to suddenly huge cheeks. The lips look fake too.

Vanessa looks botoxed in new pics with her husband.

R205

What a pair of expendable trailer trash idiots

Ugh can't people be famous for something besides their looks? Nobody can really control that, come on.

Can we talk about their talent at making us feel emotions by their performance?

I bet the mother and daughter both do anal- on the first date.

R171 And talent. Her choices aren't always the best but when Jessica has a good role she really shines.

R209 Sure, but if the profession is “model” that’s a profession strictly based on looks.

The skag mother introduced by a drag queen and trying to sing. "Deserved" career, my ass.

Her brother Jack Depp looks like Jack Black.

Vanessa hasn't actually aged that badly. She aged rapidly during her mid 20s to early 30s to the point that she looked early 40s, and has stayed looking the same since. She obviously has more wrinkles now, but she's not unrecognizable. This photo is from this year. She's 50 this year and looks younger.

Her music is awful. Very boring and lacking in melody. There's no way she'd have a career without the record producer uncle giving her a record deal.

Vanessa has always been ugly. She hasn’t aged too badly.

Amber Heard, Sherilyn Fenn and Holly Robinson Peete are the most attractive women Johnny's been with. Kate Moss is "model pretty" but not "normal pretty." Vanessa is plain.

I guess Vanessa is jolie laide. But she was fetcing enough in her heydey.

Does Jack Depp have a disability? He looks strange, had health issues a few years back, and is rarely mentioned.

Jack Depp is down with the syndrome.

R220 Nah, it's something else. Fetal alcohol syndrome maybe, but not down syndrome.

Fetal alcohol syndrome makes sense because…look at his mother.

R222 Is Vanessa known to be an addict?

He seems fairly normal, just doesn't want attention

Gee, Johnny and Vanessa look really cute there.

R224 I can't believe he's 10 years older than her. They look the same age in that picture.

R223

She is/ was.

When she met Depp, around 1990/ 2000, they were doing heroin together.

She was high as a kite and weird.

And she tried to give back an already worn Gucci GG thong at the 2 rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré boutique.

We said no.

I'm loving all the nepo discoveries, keep them coming Wikipedia troll.

The problem is that she is not gifted, nor gifted or a hard worker.

She can’t act.

She can’t sing.

She is not elegant nor inspiring.

She is not intelligent enough to accept her limitations.

And she wants all the privileges given by her birth to last.

That’s being extremely entitled.

R227 How do you know about the thong and the heroin? In what way was she weird?

R227 Gucci? I thought Chanel ambassadors weren't allowed to buy or wear other brands?

R230 and R231

The answer is in the name;

R232 So Vanessa came into a Gucci store you were working at? What behaviour made it obvious she was high? Did Johnny ever come into the store? Overall, what is Vanessa like?

R233

Vanessa was still pretty in 1999. Very tiny. Disconnected from reality. The idea of giving back a used thong? Please. Not drunk but under drug induced influence. She was a star in France, more than JD. Never saw JD.

Stronger memories of Tom Ford (gorgeous) and Richard Buckley.

R234 Was this before or after Lily Rose was born? What do you mean "disconnected from reality"?

There's a difference between having an uncle who is an agent and being the daughter of Johnny fucking Depp.

She's as nepo as it gets. Not that it's her fault. But come on.

Oh, I think she's drop dead gorgeous. If that matters.

Vanessa Paradis comes from a rich, posh family. Her grandparents were doctors. Her parents owned their own interior design company, and her dad had huge influence on Disneyland Paris's decor. Plus an uncle in showbiz.

Johnny Depp comes from a poor, trailer trash family. Nothing chic about them.

No wonder Lily Rose, an image-obsessed princess, is proud of her mother's side of the family, and says nothing about Depp or his side.

Nepotism or not, Benedict Cumberbatch was blessed with a genuine and rare gift. I'm not referring to his appearance (he is indeed facially weird-looking) or acting ability, but to his absolutely amazing speaking voice.

Even if he had no familial connections, I believe he could've at least still "made it" in the business as a voice actor, narrating audio books, doing voice-overs for commercials, etc.

Daddy, Mommy, Daughter. None of them would be special without money.

If you're referring to the Depps, R239, then Daddy... used to be special! He actually was both incredibly photogenic and a genuinely good actor, before he crawled up his own ass and down the rabbit hole of frying his brain with drugs. There's a reason he was one of the few to make it from Bumfucke to the top of the Hollywood heap without any help from his family,

His daughter is neither photogenic nor talented, but she DOES have help from her family, so she has a career anyway.

R240 Depp married a make up artist who was friends with Nick Cage, who got Depp in contact with producer. He got cast after his first ever audition because the director's daughter thought he was hot, he never had to work hard or hustle like other actors. He spent his young days complaining about how acting isn't even a real job. He's an average actor whose good looks made him appear more talented than he is.

R241 Yes. He was basically a gigolo who coasted off his looks. At least Tammy and Brad liked acting and were never ungrateful for the gigs they got. Johnny constantly bashed Hollywood and talked about wanting to make real art and be like his idols Hunter S Thompson and Jack Kerouc. But he lacked the intelligence, creativity and bravery of those two. He kept making the shitty Hollywood movies he bashed to support his druggy lifestyle.

Johnny Depp was hot when he was younger but there are a lot of hot guys out there. He must have sucked somebody’s cock. His daughter looks like a sour faced little bitch.

He was definitely hot especially in 21 Jump Street, Nightmare on Elm Street, Cry-Baby, What's Eating Gilbert Grape and Private Resort. Before he got all those stupid tattoos, ruined his teeth, that guyliner and stopped showering

R242 He was a gigolo?

R245 He had no connections, came from poverty from central Florida, he was in a struggling band and was basically homeless. He then gets acquainted with Nicolas Cage and married a woman who worked in Hollywood and got some major roles so soon. He probably put out to someone because he didn't even prove his acting talent until he got connected with Tim Burton.

R244 I didn't find him attractive when he was very young (Private Resort age), he was alright, but looked better after losing the baby fat on his face. I don't think he looks good with short, slicked back hair, like in Donnie Brasco or Finding Neverland--it makes him look bland like Mickley from Shameless. He looked hot in his late 30s/early 40s, in the movies Blow, Chocolat and From Hell.

R246 Didn't he marry that woman before moving to Hollywood?

R248 And he left her very soon after getting his feet in the door.

Vanessa looking high as a kite lip-syncing on national TV

Vanessa has an amazing figure after having two kids.

[quote] He had no connections, came from poverty from central Florida

Is this why he bonded with dunaway I wonder- didn’t she come from a similar background?

R249 Depp's first wife was about six years older than him. They married when he was 19/20 back in Florida. If she was a successful career woman with connections in Hollywood, what was she doing marrying a broke, jobless guy barely out of his teens?

I wish Johnny had acted in something like "My Own Private Idaho" when he was younger. Would be interesting to be see him play a homeless, drug-addict male hooker.

Here Here R240 here here!

Johnny Depp was fantastic in "Whats Eating Gilbert Grape".

Johnny had a slight Southern twang when young. He scrubbed that away and affected this weird English-French-American mumbo jumbo that Madge as well took up. Who can they fool?

R254 Johnny didn't like Leo upstaging him but Leo is tough and likely put him in his place just like he did with Walburgers. Who knows how he would treat River on set who was already fragile and damaged and easily triggered?

Lilly is pretty like her mom but she's stupid like her father. Vanessa is actually quite intelligent.

Funny how Johnny seems to hate his Southern upbringing yet gives his daughter such a stereotypical white Southern girl name like "Lily Rose." Lily Rose is pretty in certain angles but her father was way more beautiful than her in the 80s and 90s. Sometimes that happens, Zoe Kravitz is not as beautiful as Lenny Kravitz either.

Benedict Cumberbatch looks like a skinny turtle.

r247 He looks like Lily Rose there.

Vanessa looks years younger without the gap. Somebody photoshopped this.

R244 For all of Johnny Depp’s “I’m an alcoholic injun” posturing, he straight up looks like a light skin mixed-race/black guy there.

Didn't he claim to be part native american and then it turned out that he's just white trash from Kentucky?

White trash love claiming to be Native American. It must be infuriating to real na people.

OP, is right, she's stupid. Her Mother is god awful ugly. LRD, has very little presence. She's too dull.

R265 I still think Johnny Depp looks somewhat native american, especially in this picture. He's not that tanned, but he has the facial look, sorta.

As for Lily, I recently watched an interview of hers. I was shocked to hear her with a typical, bland valley girl accent like Kendall Jenner and Haley Beiber. I assumed she'd have a french twang.

This article accomplished its aim. People are talking about her. Good job Lily's pr.

I think that's true about coasting on his looks. People think his performance is magical because he was a good looking person.

Imagine a less attractive actor doing this flat delivery. Nobody would pay attention, that's why they would be more charismatic.

R254, What's Eating Gilbert Grape was very Private Idaho in terms of depressing themes and pretty young actors playing trash.

I LOVE both films, btw, and still watch them every year or two.

Johnny Depp can look like a light-skinned black guy for very good reason: He's of Melungeon ancestry, just like Ava Gardner. Descendants of mixed-race communities which were mostly African American but did have small strains of Native American and even Portuguese.

The weird voice he has taken on in recent years bugs the shit out of me. It’s so phoney and pathetic. He’s obviously ashamed of who he really is and where he comes from.

A slight gap can be charming, as in the case of Lauren Hutton, but Vanessa's was far too wide for that. She should have had it fixed.

R270 How does Johnny look so different in that Willy Wonka movie? I know the teeth are fake, and the hairstyle makes a difference, but he looks like an entirely different person. Almost like Julia Roberts.

This girl looks way too pornstarish. She's pretty in a low-class way, even with a wardrobe full of free Chanel.

I've never heard of this person.

R275,, they used makeup and CGI to make him super pale, like first they painted him pasty-white, and then they used CGI to take most of the color out of the part of the frame where his face was. It made him look pale gray and creepy, something out of the Uncanny Valley.

AND the fucking Amelie wig!

[quote] Johnny Depp can look like a light-skinned black guy for very good reason: He's of Melungeon ancestry, just like Ava Gardner. Descendants of mixed-race communities which were mostly African American but did have small strains of Native American and even Portuguese

Modern testing has shown that the supposed strains of Native American and Portuguese ancestry of the Melungeon is basically apocryphal and such claims must be viewed as historically racist desperation by folks to prove their exotic DNA is not due to negros, godammit.

The desperate claims of Southerners to attribute their dark looks, high cheekbones and almond shaped eyes to (why is it always?) Cherokee blood has never stopped.

And Johnny’s desperation to glamourise his addiction and irresponsible behaviour as a Native American fatal flaw is a massive insult.

It is "always" Cherokee in these stories because the Cherokee were the Native People of the Deep South, R279.

This is only one example, but my mother, who is of Melungeon ancestry, did DNA testing and had some Native American along with the African American. Of course, the Native American could have come in some other way. There was some mixing of Native Americans and African Americans, though not as much as everyone thinks.

I do agree that a lot of "Cherokee Princess" stories in Southern families are covering up African American ancestry, though.

Will Lily Rose ever win an Oscar? She was already nominated for a Cesar Award a few years back, but her mother and stepfather were on the committee board, so that doesn't count.

The industry could achieve greater racial diversity if they stop with the nepotism nonsense. If they get rid of the nepotism privilege, which benefits predominately wealthy white children, they could achieve gains in socioeconomic and racial diversity.

I forgot about this Ho when Kanye started spiraling again. I guess that shows how much star power she has…

R283 Agreed.

"The industry could achieve greater racial diversity if they stop with the nepotism nonsense."

They could achieve greater TALENT if they stop with the neoptism nonsense! If they actually hired the best actors, writers, and directors, instead of the relatives of people whose asses they want to kiss, we'd be seeing far better acting, writing, and directors, because then Hollywood would be closer to the meritocracy it should be and not the closed shop it is.

^YES! Say it louder for the people in the back.

R283: Right now, some of the racial diversity is from shameless nepotism. It’s because of that we have mediocre talents like Willow Smith, John David Washington, and Zoë Kravitz. In the near future, I don’t want to hear about JLo’s spawn as actors or models either.

She's is a white version of Chrissy Teigen,

Chrissy Teigen at least makes me laugh. And can cook. Lilly seems autistic like the Kardashians

R289 Not autistic, just spoiled, bland, robotic and vapid.
