5 Surprising Facts About Johnny Depp's Kids: What Lily-Rose And Jack Are Doing In 2025
The children of Hollywood icon Johnny Depp and French singer-actress Vanessa Paradis have always lived a life balanced precariously between extreme fame and fierce privacy. As of December 2025, the siblings—Lily-Rose Depp and Jack Depp—are navigating their twenties with wildly different approaches to the public eye, creating a fascinating dynamic that continues to captivate fans globally. Their recent professional and personal updates reveal two young adults forging their own paths, heavily influenced by their superstar parents but determined to define success on their own terms.
The latest news shows a stark contrast: one child is embracing the spotlight with major 2025 film releases and red-carpet appearances, while the other is deliberately shunning the Hollywood machine for a low-key, creative existence in Europe. This duality is a direct result of their unique upbringing and the "bold piece of advice" their father gave them about navigating the treacherous waters of celebrity life. Their current endeavors prove that the next generation of the Depp-Paradis family is ready to make their mark, whether on the silver screen or in quiet anonymity.

Lily-Rose Depp’s Blockbuster 2025: From 'The Idol' to 'Nosferatu'
While many celebrity children struggle to carve out their own identity, Lily-Rose Depp has fully embraced the creative legacy of her parents, achieving a high-profile career that exploded in 2025. Her professional trajectory has been described as "transformative," marking a significant moment in her evolution as a leading actress.
Following her controversial role in the HBO series *The Idol*, Lily-Rose pivoted to major cinematic projects. The most anticipated of these is Robert Eggers' gothic horror film, *Nosferatu*, which saw a significant release in 2025. Her role in the film was a major talking point during the awards season, where she attended the 2025 Oscars. Her custom-made dress for the event alone took a staggering 515 hours to create, underscoring her status as a global fashion and film icon.
Beyond the horror genre, she is also set to star in a biopic about the iconic French singer Johnny, further cementing her connection to her French roots and proving her versatility across different film genres and languages. Her willingness to take on challenging roles, from controversial TV to classic horror remakes, shows a fearless approach to her craft, a trait she likely inherited from both her father, the star of *Pirates of the Caribbean* and *Edward Scissorhands*, and her mother, Vanessa Paradis.
Her high-profile life is managed with a fierce dedication to privacy, a lesson she learned early on from her parents. Despite her fame, she maintains a boundary between her professional life and her personal world, ensuring that her career remains the focus, not the endless scrutiny of her relationships or private affairs.
Jack Depp’s Quiet Life: Shunning Hollywood for Parisian Anonymity
In stark contrast to his sister, John Christopher "Jack" Depp III has made a conscious and deliberate choice to stay out of the intense Hollywood media cycle. The 23-year-old prefers a tranquil, low-key existence primarily based in Paris, the city where he spent much of his childhood. This choice has led to Jack being one of the most mysterious and rarely-seen children of a major movie star.
In late 2025, Jack made a rare public appearance in Paris, which immediately drew attention due to his striking resemblance to his father, Johnny Depp, particularly during his younger years. While he has occasionally been credited as an actor, director, and producer, his current endeavors lean heavily toward the creative and the anonymous.
Reports suggest Jack is a talented artist and musician, skills his father openly praised in a 2014 interview. However, his career path is far from the typical celebrity offspring narrative. He has reportedly embraced a "surprisingly normal job," with some sources claiming he works as a bartender in a Parisian restaurant. This commitment to a grounded, private life reflects a profound rejection of the fame machine that defined his parents' careers. He is prioritizing a life outside the spotlight, valuing personal peace over professional celebrity.
Johnny Depp’s Bold Parenting Advice and The French Upbringing
The starkly different paths of Lily-Rose and Jack are rooted in their unique upbringing and the crucial advice given to them by their father. Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis made the decision to raise their children in France, away from the constant scrutiny of Los Angeles. This environment allowed the siblings to grow up with a sense of normalcy, free from paparazzi and the pressures of American celebrity culture. Vanessa Paradis, a French national, strongly desired this European lifestyle for her children, a choice that has clearly proven beneficial in their adult lives by giving them "life-altering skills," including bilingualism and a deeper cultural perspective.
In a recent interview, Johnny Depp spoke candidly about the challenges of fatherhood, especially knowing the pressures his children would face. He revealed the single, most important piece of advice he gave them: "Don't allow anyone to make you something you are not." This powerful message speaks directly to the need for authenticity in a world obsessed with constructing celebrity personas.
Depp has also been open about his general reluctance for his children to enter the entertainment industry, stating, "I know what's coming for them." Despite this, he remains a supportive father. While Lily-Rose chose to follow the acting route, she has clearly internalized his advice, maintaining her authentic self by fiercely guarding her private life and choosing roles that challenge her. Jack, conversely, embodies the advice by deliberately choosing a life of anonymity and creative freedom over the fame that was his birthright. The enduring bond between the Depp-Paradis family, marked by mutual respect and a shared creative spirit, continues to guide both Lily-Rose and Jack as they navigate their twenties in 2025.
