Lily-Rose Depp has emphasized that the nudity in “The Idol” is deliberately included and holds personal significance for her. She expressed, “It’s really intentional and really important to me. I’m not scared of it.”
The HBO series, known for its graphic content, has faced criticism over the past few weeks. Depp, who plays the lead character Jocelyn, a pop star controlled by nightclub owner Abel ‘The Weekend’ Tesfaye, is often at the center of the show’s provocative moments.
Depp shared with Vogue Australia, “For me, the whole character and the show and her arc was really a collaboration through and through. We know that we’re making something provocative, and we are not shying away from that.”
She acknowledged that the show may not be for everyone, stating, “I was never interested in making something puritanical. It’s okay if this show isn’t for everyone, and that’s fine — I think all the best art is [polarizing].”

Expressing her comfort on set, Depp mentioned feeling respected and safe, attributing it to the trust built among the cast and crew. She asserted that the nudity and risqué nature of her role were intentional and something she was excited about exploring.
Depp added that she isn’t afraid of portraying such scenes, considering the exploration of sexuality relevant in today’s highly sexualized world.
Despite the controversy surrounding “The Idol,” the creators maintain that pushing boundaries is deliberate. The series has featured uncomfortable scenes, such as a sex scene between Depp and Tesfaye in the second episode, aimed at eliciting discomfort from viewers. Tesfaye explained that the scene is meant to portray the character’s gluttonous behavior and highlight his vulnerability.
“The Idol” concludes its season on July 2 at 9 pm ET on HBO, also available for streaming on HBO Max.
