In a recent interview with The Daily Telegraph, Lily-Rose opened up about the challenges of fame. She talked about how it’s impossible to avoid the attention that comes with being a well-known actor, but she stressed the importance of protecting her privacy. She explained that for her, staying grounded and keeping her private life safe is very important for both her well-being and her career.

Lily-Rose shared, "Every job comes with a set of circumstances, and this [fame] is kind of one of them. The importance to me has been to maintain a sense of privacy and groundedness and to protect [what] really belongs to you." She wants to keep certain parts of her life private, even though people are curious about her.

Looking back at her career, which began in 2014 with the movie Tusk, Lily-Rose has faced the tougher side of fame. She’s been in the public eye for many years, which has taught her how hard it can be to stay true to yourself while also being noticed by everyone.

She said, "People are interested in things that they shouldn’t necessarily be interested in and…the job of an actor is to go into a character and, like, melt into it — and make the audience believe you are this character." Lily-Rose explained how being a good actor means stepping into a role so deeply that the audience forgets who you are as a person. They should focus on the character, not on her real life.

She also talked about how important it is for actors to protect their privacy so that the audience can focus on the character they are playing. She added, "In order to do that, it’s important to protect a sense of anonymity — they’re not supposed to get to know ‘you’ that well, ‘cause you want them to believe you as other characters."

Earlier in November, Lily-Rose had shared her determination to build her own identity in Hollywood, even though some critics doubted her abilities. She admitted that some people were waiting for her to fail, but instead, it made her work even harder. She is determined to prove herself and succeed on her terms.

Through all the challenges that come with fame, Lily-Rose Depp is focused on staying true to herself and her craft, while protecting her personal life and privacy.
