Johnny Depp is proud of his daughter for coming out

lily-rose-1

 

In August of this year, the 16-year-old model posed for Self-Evident Project, which features people who identify as “anything other than 100% straight.”

Lily Rose’s friend, iO Tillet Wright, shared the photo on Instagram, writing: “I’m so proud of my baby girl @lilyrose_depp. She decided she wanted to be in @selfevidentproject because she falls somewhere on the vast spectrum, and I couldn’t be happier to welcome her to the family. She’s a tiny gem of a good human. #prouduncle#weareyou.”

Her famous father, Johnny Depp is also extremely proud. He said to the Daily Mail:

“She’s got thousands of followers on social media, and they were all taken completely by surprise. But not me. I already knew because she tells me everything – she’s not afraid to say anything to me. We’re super-tight and I’m very proud of our relationship.”

The actor went to express his pride for Lily-Rose:

“Lily’s really together – she’s a sharp kid and one of the smartest human beings I have ever met. She’s far surpassed myself there – and my friends, too! And, whatever she is doing, if she needs any advice, I’m there for her. Kids are going to make their own decisions, but I guess that the only thing you can do as a parent is to offer support. And I do.” he said.
