Johnny Depp pays a vibrant tribute to his daughter Lily-Rose at the Deauville festival

The Deauville American Film Festival, which began on September 6, has already put in the spotlight a beautiful moment of emotion: in a speech delivered after receiving an award from President Catherine Deneuve, Johnny Depp testified to the admiration he has for his daughter Lily-Rose.
After the Venice Film Festival, it was at the Deauville American Film Festival that Johnny Depp went to present the latest film of which he plays the main character: Waiting for the Barbarians. While he had not set foot there since 2001, on the occasion of Ted Demme's film Blow, this 2019 edition wanted to pay him a tribute with great pomp by awarding him a special prize for all of his work.
His character of Jack Sparrow having phagocyted all the other roles in his filmography, it was to the music of Pirates of the Caribbean that the muse of the perfumeSauvage, by Dior, climbed the steps that led him to the stage where Catherine Deneuve, president of the festival, gave him her honorary distinction.
First paying tribute to the latter, which triggered a round of applause, the 56-year-old actor then gave an emotional speech in which he shares the pride he has for his daughter Lily-Rose Depp, who was a week earlier at the Venice Film Festival. She presented The King, a film that will be broadcast from November 3 on Netflix and in which she gives the reply to Timothée Chalamet by giving her features to Catherine de Valois, queen consort of England between 1420 and 1422.
"It's a really surreal experience to live," he describes about the torch carried jointly by the father and daughter, before thanking her, her son Jack and the mother of her (big) children: Vanessa Paradis, whom he describes as a "wonderful mother". A quality all the more evident in the light of the media stagnation in which he got entangled in the face of the accusations of his ex-wife, Amber Heard.
This is not the first time that Tim Burton's favorite actor has reacted to his daughter's film career. Last February, he interfered incognito in the Caesars ceremony and reportedly sent her a comforting message when she learned that she would not get a prize that time. A father moved by a girl already well launched into the adventure of the seventh art.
