Lily-Rose Depp Gives Rare Insight Into Childhood with Brother Jack: 'He's the Coolest Person Ever'

The actress said her 'Nosferatu' role won her "cool" points with her brother since they "both were super obsessed with Dracula when we were younger"

Lily-Rose Depp thinks highly of her younger brother Jack Depp.

"He’s the coolest person ever," the actress, 25, told former Planetarium costar Natalie Portman as part of a new conversation for Interview magazine.

Lily-Rose and Jack, 22, are the children of Johnny Depp and French singer Vanessa Paradis. She added that her new role in the vampire horror film Nosferatu won her some "cool" points with her brother.

"This one in particular was big for me, because my brother and I both were super obsessed with Dracula when we were younger. My brother used to dress up like Dracula when he was a kid for school," Lily-Rose recalled.

"I was like, 'Wow, if I get this part my brother’s going to finally think I’m cool,' " she added. "... It’s the classic thing of when you have a younger sibling, they think you’re so cool when you’re kids, and then when you get older, now I think he’s so cool, and I’m like, 'Let’s hang!' And he’s like, 'I’m busy.' But yeah, I think I got some points with this one."

Elsewhere in the Interview conversation, Lily-Rose reflected on her childhood, sharing what she appreciates most about how her famous parents raised her while constantly traveling for their work.

"There were moments where I was like, 'I want to be at school with my friends,' [but] now that I’m older, I’m so grateful," she said. "Not only that I have traveled so much, thanks to my parents having to bring me around, but also for what I now see as the work that they put into making sure that my brother and I had a life in these places that were not ours."

"And making sure that we had something fun to do on the weekends and a park to go play in," added Lily-Rose. "At the time I wouldn’t have seen it, but now I see that as conscious efforts that my parents were making to make me and my brother feel at home."

The Idol star also said she grew up "being taught that your private life and your inner life is so precious, and that it really needs to be protected," shaping her approach to social media and living in the public eye.

Lily-Rose recently told Vanity Fair that she chooses to "ignore" people who claim her career exists because of nepotism.

"I love acting. If people still want to talk s--- or see me in a certain way, then that’s not my problem. I’ve had to grow into that feeling as well," she said.

Johnny, 61, and Paradis, 51, "are these incredible artists and I have grown up with that,” Lily-Rose added. “Respecting them both so much and what they do and trying to find my own identity in this world has been interesting when everybody’s thinking that you’re here for the wrong reasons or that you don’t deserve to be here."

Nosferatu is in theaters Dec. 25.
