Actress Lily-Rose Depp Spills On What It Was Like Working With BLACKPINK’s Jennie On “The Idol”
BLACKPINK‘s Jennie is making her acting debut in HBO‘s new series, The Idol. The series premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, and fans loved seeing Jennie interact with the other members of the cast, including Lily-Rose Depp…
The Weeknd…
And Troye Sivan.
Actress Lily-Rose Depp recently confirmed that the cast had a great relationship while filming the show in an interview with Grazia UK.
I was just saying this earlier in an interview, but it was so cool being on set every day and just looking around and being like, ‘My friends are so talented. This is so cool to be surrounded by so many incredibly talented people who are also just nice, and lovely, and funny.
— Lily-Rose Depp
Lily-Rose Depp also admitted that she was surprised to learn that she “[loves] dancing” after filming multiple dance scenes for the show.
I realized that I actually love dancing; it’s so much fun even if I am nowhere near, you know, Jennie-level at all.
— Lily-Rose Depp
But even though Lily-Rose Depp doesn’t have the background in dancing that Jennie, as an experienced idol, has, it was easy for the actress to see Jennie’s talent in dance.
But it was so cool to watch her work. She’s so talented; I’m so in awe of her. And watching her pick up the choreo like that and absolutely knock it out was so impressive.
— Lily-Rose Depp
And Lily-Rose Depp didn’t just admire Jennie for her dance ability, as the actress revealed just how “sweet” of a person Jennie actually is despite being a global superstar.
And she’s so sweet. And for somebody who lives the kind of life that she lives, she is so humble and kind and a real girl’s girl. I love her.

When asked whether the cast had karaoke sessions, Lily-Rose Depp admitted that while they hadn’t, she would bring up the idea in their group chat, showing that the casts’ friendship certainly extends outside the show.
