As per a Screenrant report, talking about the s*x scenes in The Idol and working on it with The Weeknd and Sam Levinson, she said, “We know that we’re making something provocative and we are not shying away from that. That’s something I knew I was setting out to do from the beginning. I was never interested in making something puritanical. It’s okay if this show isn’t for everyone and that’s fine — I think all the best art is [polarizing].”
Lilly-Rose Depp added, “I’ve never felt more respected and more safe on a set, honestly. And I think the trust that we all built with each other, you and I [speaking to Troye Sivan], and [creator Sam Levinson] and I, and Abel and I, that can only make for a really safe-feeling set. So when it comes to the nudity and the risqué nature of the role, that to me was really intentional. That was really important to me and something that I was excited about doing. I’m not scared of it. I think we live in a highly s*xualized world. I think that’s an interesting thing to explore.”
