00:00Lily-Rose Depp recently shared a vulnerable moment from her childhood,
00:04recalling how her father, Johnny Depp's portrayal of Edward Scissorhands,
00:08left a different lasting impact.
00:11Speaking to Harper Bazaar UK, Lily-Rose explained,
00:14I was traumatised by it, not because I thought he was scary,
00:18but because everyone was being so mean to him, and I got really upset.
00:22Her parents allowed her to watch the Tim Burton classic when she was just 3 years old,
00:28but the ending where Edward is rejected by the town's folk
00:31left her so shaken that she hasn't revisited the movie since then.
00:37Reflecting on her experience, Lily-Rose Depp admitted that
00:41this early exposure shaped her empathy and the kind of roles she gravitates toward as an actor.
00:46I'm interested in the darker underbelly of things, she shared,
00:50and her latest project, Nosferatu, embodies this interest.
00:56While the character of the film is maniacal,
00:59Lily-Rose reveals a surprising connection to such misunderstood figures,
01:03Edward's the good guy and Nosferatu's kind of the bad guy.
01:07But there's a part of me that feels a little bit of empathy for Nosferatu.
01:11I mean, I am sick for feeling that way, she joked.
01:16In the film, a reimagining of the 1922 silent horror classic she plays,
01:22Ellen Hurter, a newlywed caught in the obsessive gaze of Count Orlok,
01:26played by Bill Skarsgård.
