Unlike many of her contemporaries, Lily-Rose Depp spent many of her formative years in Europe, where her mother, Vanessa Paradis, instilled in her progeny the importance of being true to oneself and being confident above all else. The iconic actress was speaking from experience of course, having raised eyebrows following the release of her 1987 song "Joe le Taxi," in which a youngster cavorts with an older man, which was followed up by a now-infamous sultry Chanel commercial several years later in which Paradis appeared as a Lolita-style pin-up, according to The Face.
"People were truly horrible to her. It was a different time," Depp reflected in conversation with the publication. Showing wisdom far beyond her years, the actress and model opined about how much of a "trailblazer" her mother was, acknowledging that, back in the day, "women weren't as celebrated for being comfortable in their sexuality."
Asked whether she'd ever consider following in Paradis' boundary-pushing footsteps, Depp mused, "I'm French." By her own admission, Depp grew up utterly supported — "by a French mother who taught me that there was nothing shameful about your body." So, why not?
