Lily-Rose Depp Claims None Of ‘The Idol’ Cast Went ‘Full Method’, Reveals The Vibe On Set Was ‘Light-Hearted’

Lily-Rose Depp, known for her role as Jocelyn in the HBO series ‘The Idol,’ has clarified that none of the cast members resorted to extreme method acting during the filming of the hedonistic drama. Despite the explicit scenes involving sex, drugs, and alcohol, Depp emphasized that the set maintained a relaxed and safe atmosphere.

Maintaining a Comfortable Atmosphere Amidst Challenging Themes

Depp, who stars alongside Abel Tesfaye (popularly known as The Weeknd) in the series created by Sam Levinson, expressed that the set had a light-hearted vibe despite exploring darker themes and featuring emotionally intense moments. She explained that the cast, consisting of individuals who share similarities and a deep understanding, developed a strong bond and friendship during the production. This camaraderie allowed them to find solace in laughter, music, and dancing, making the heavier scenes more manageable.

Avoiding Abel Tesfaye’s Full Immersion into Character

While discussing the dynamics on set, Depp admitted that there were moments when she avoided Abel Tesfaye due to his full immersion into his character, Tedros. Although she refrained from revealing too much about Tesfaye’s character arc, she acknowledged the need to give him space when he was in his “Tedros mode.”

Defending the Show’s Explicit Content

Depp also addressed accusations that ‘The Idol’ had devolved into “torture porn and a rape fantasy.” She defended both the explicit scenes and creator Sam Levinson against such claims, stating that the occasional vulnerability and nudity in her character, Jocelyn, mirrored the emotional depth showcased throughout the series. Depp expressed her gratitude for being involved in the character’s creation, allowing her to explore the various ways Jocelyn expresses herself.

Through her statements, Depp aimed to highlight the professionalism and collaborative spirit of the cast and crew, debunking the notion that ‘The Idol’ led to any cast members losing themselves in their roles.
