The Idol, an American drama television series, made its debut last weekend after a lengthy wait. It goes without saying that the first episode astonished all of the viewers with its provocative scenes, severe nudity, and contentious discourse. The series has now received a review from Lily Rose-Depp's father, Johnny Depp.
Lily plays a driven pop diva who, following a mental breakdown that forces the cancellation of her last tour, strives to restore her status as the sexiest pop performer in America. She then begins a tangled romance with Tedros (The Weeknd), the leader of a modern cult and a self-help guru.
A source told Daily Mail, ˇ°Johnny loves that Lily is carving out a career of her own and challenging herself to take on roles that interest her and test her. He loves that she is her own person and becoming her own actress. She isnˇŻt resting her career on his success.ˇ±
ˇ°He loves that she is such a strong person, especially now that she has gotten some extra attention with her recent role in The Idol. He is proud of her and not lending anything to the extra chatter and drama that the role brings. He believes that she must be doing something right since the role is getting so much attention, and he is proud of her success,ˇ± the source added.
