HBO’s recently released The Idol is getting a lot of attention. With just 2 episodes aired on the streaming platform, the show has received criticism from the viewers. Marking The Weekend’s acting debut, fans did not like the performance of Lily-Rose Depp. However, her fans back her for her performance in a 2019 Netflix film. Despite some viewers criticizing Depp in the HBO show, some really loved her in the Netflix historic drama.

Each different story requires the actor to portray the character in a different way. Therefore, it might be possible that sometimes fans do not like the same actor in a specific role. However, they love the actor in another one. The same thing happened with Depp. Her role in the HBO series is a lot more bold and vigorous. However, the same actress played a totally opposite role in The King alongside Timothée Chalamet in 2019.

Recently, Netflix posted a clip from the 2019 film depicting the ‘sizzling tension’ between both actors in the film. Fans compared Depp’s performance in the film as Catherine of Valois to her character as Jocelyn in The Idol. They tried to bring out the best of their favorite actress and let people know how nice she could act.

However, both her characters required different portrayals of herself. For instance, The Idol needed Depp to portray a rising pop star. But The King required the actress to go back in time when Henry V rose as the king. Nevertheless, A Faithful Man star’s loyal fans can not stop protecting their favorite actress.

Facing criticism for The Idol, fans love Lily-Rose Depp in The King

As Netflix posted the clip from The King, fans immediately started to connect Depp with her current character. The HBO show did not receive positive reviews because of the portrayal of the music industry. However, there were people who also attacked the performances of the actors, including Lily-Rose Depp. Therefore, fans expressed their love for the actor. They tried to back Depp with an appreciation for her performance in The King. 

Despite her short role in the film, fans loved her performance. Some of them even said Netflix was also backing the actress. They reminded people that Lily-Rose Depp was not a terrible actress.
