The highly anticipated drama series HBO, “The Idol,” has been sparking news even before its debut for its controversy and reports of a toxic environment on set. One of the lead actors in the show, Lily-Rose Depp, recently expressed her thoughts on working with co-star Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye and the different acting processes of the cast.
Lily’s Take on Acting Dynamics Of The Cast Members On Set:
Lily-Rose Depp is known for her versatility as an actor and model. She opened up about the unique acting processes that she observed on the set of “The Idol.” While she assured that nobody went full on and lost their minds, she revealed that there were few situations when she would steer clear of The Weeknd, who occasionally immersed himself fully in his character, Tedros.
Depp admitted that she respected his commitment to the role and recognized when he was “in his zone.” She shared her overall experiences of a cheerful set filled with laughter, music, and dancing, balancing out the heavier and more emotional scenes in the series. Lily confessed that she drew inspiration from the actors like Sharon Stone and Lauren Bacall.
Tedros, played by Tesfaye, is a cult leader who owns a club in “The Idol” and embraces the challenge of portraying the complex character. According to W magazine, he described that playing the role took a toll on him, and transitioning between his stage persona as The Weeknd and his character as Tedros was emotionally demanding.
In a concert in Los Angeles, Tesfaye experienced a loss of voice. He mentioned that this could have possibly occurred due to the strain of embodying Tedros (a character who lacks singing abilities). This unique method of acting pushed Tesfaye to new limits and to explore new depths in his performance.
