However Johnny Depp’s daughter stated the set “felt like an enormous artistic playground the place we have been free to attempt issues and have it work or not work. It felt like a very protected artistic area.”
“For me, the entire character and the present and her arc was actually a collaboration by and thru. We all know that we’re making one thing provocative and we’re not shying away from that. That is one thing I knew I used to be getting down to do from the start,” the 24-year-old instructed Vogue Australia. “I used to be by no means eager about making one thing puritanical.

“The artistic setting that Sam creates on set, to me, is conducive to the very best work I really feel like I’ve achieved and it introduced the very best out of everybody. We did a number of improv which was actually enjoyable, which was actually new for me. It taught me a lot and I really feel prefer it simply made me a greater actress. And I simply couldn’t have felt extra supported by Sam,” Lily-Rose added.
