Lily-Rose Depp responds to critical reviews of The Idol

In The Idol, Lily-Rose portrays aspiring pop star Jocelyn, who is seduced by a cult leader named Tedros, played by Abel 'The Weeknd' Tesfaye. At a press conference at the Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday, the TV show's star addressed the critical reaction to its sexual content and gratuitous nudity. "I think that something about Jocelyn is just that she's a born and bred performer. I think that extends to every aspect of her life, not just her professional life."
