The last time Johnny Depp spoke about Lily-Rose Depp in an interview, he sounded more than a little nervous about the 16-year-old's sudden fame.
He even went so far as to describe Lily-Rose's success as "disturbing."
It's not that Johnny wants to stand in the way of his daughter's dreams, of course. But having been in the industry for as long as he has (and having seen what Hollywood can do to young women), it's only natural that he's a bit concerned.
Of course, Lily has Captain Jack himself to help her navigate the rough waters of fame, and that gives her a major advantage over other up-and-coming starlets.
Perhaps that's why Johnny seems so much more chill about Lily-Rose's future in his new The Daily Mail:
"What's happening to Lily-Rose is something that I didn't expect to happen this early, that's for sure! It's such a funny thing when you see your daughter transitioning from your baby, your little girl, to suddenly being a young woman. If you're not really looking for it, you can miss it, and Lily-Rose is on that road already and there's nothing I can do to stop it.
"She's been snatched up by Karl Lagerfeld - which is a coincidence, as he spotted her mother when she was the same age, too - and when I see her with make-up and all that stuff, it's really disturbing, because she's a very beautiful girl, and it's all happening so fast.
"Her becoming an actress was never my dream or my desire for her, but that's what she enjoys doing, and it's her passion and it's where she ended up. And she's got the goods - she can certainly deliver.
Okay, so he still sounds pretty taken aback, but ultimately, the 52-year-old actor seems more proud than anything.
In the same interview, Johnny was asked about Lily-Rose coming out as bisexual, and his response was every bit as chill as you would expect:
"She's got thousands of followers on social media, and they were all taken completely by surprise," Johnny said.
"But not me. I already knew because she tells me everything - she's not afraid to say anything to me. We're super-tight and I'm very proud of our relationship."
She might be very young to be receiving so much attention, but something tells us Lily-Rose will be just fine.
