Lily-Rose Depp makes a rare comment about her bartender brother

Lily-Rose Depp has shared some rare fun facts about her brother Jack.

The 25-year-old actress, who was born outside Paris to Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis, has shuttled between America and France over the years while her 22-year-old sibling has remained abroad.

Last week it was revealed that Jack was working as a bartender at a trendy Lebanese restaurant called L’Area in Paris’ Bastille district.

Although Lily-Rose did not comment on his career, she said did reveals that her latest film, Nosferatu, has a unique connection to her reclusive little brother.

The horror film is about a real estate agent in the 1830s who travels to Transylvania and leaves his wife Ellen behind with friends. But she soon finds herself confronted with an evil force beyond her control.

On Monday’s episode of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Fallon, 50, asked the young star how familiar she was with the story of Dracula.

“I’ve always been a fan of the Dracula story,” Lily-Rose admitted.

She added: “My brother and I were obsessed with Abbott and Costello as kids, and you know, they have a whole series, something like Meet the Monsters.”

“We were particularly drawn to the ‘Meet Dracula’ piece, the Bela Lugosi piece.”

The siblings were young when they saw the series, but it still left a mark on them.

“And my brother was about three or four years old at the time and he started dressing up like Dracula,” she continued, “and doing these kinds of really serious line readings.”

It turns out this role was written in the stars for The Idol alum.

“So in a way I kind of grew up as Dracula’s older sister,” Lily-Rose explained, before noting that her Nosferatu role has come “completely full circle.”

“When I heard that, you know, when I got the opportunity to audition for this movie, I thought, ‘How come full circle and maybe I’ll get some cool points with my brother,'” she said of Jack.

According to the Daily Mail, Jack had been working at L’Area for a few years but took a leave of absence a few months ago. However, restaurant owner Edouard Chueke told the outlet that Jack is expected to return to work later next year.

“Jack is a great guy; He stays out of the spotlight but worked here behind the bar and in the kitchen,” he said.

The owner added: “He was a good employee, he left the company a few months ago but I expect him to come back later next year. “Good staff are hard to find.”

And it seems like the love for L’Area runs in the family.

“I’ve been running this place for 15 years and it’s very popular with fashion and music lovers, but movie stars also come here, and Jack’s mother Vanessa Paradis and his sister are regulars,” admitted Chueke.

During one visit, Depp even showed off her bartending skills. “Lily was mixing caipirinhas behind the bar and was really getting into it, having fun,” he shared.

It’s no surprise that Jack has chosen a life out of the spotlight, as Paradis, 51, revealed in a 2007 interview: “Now I actually keep them away from the cameras because I don’t want our children to be forced to to share in our glory their will.”

“They didn’t ask for that. Not yet,” she continued. “The day they themselves decide to do things that could put them in the spotlight, then I won’t stop.”

In addition to starring in Nosferatu, Depp appeared alongside The Weeknd in the 2023 HBO drama The Idol.

The actress is a woman of many talents and also appears in her friend 070 Shake’s music video for the song “Winter Baby / New Jersey Blues”.

“I love doing this,” Depp enthused about working with the 27-year-old musician. “That was really special because obviously I love the song, I love the artist and it was a real family affair. It was sweet.”

Depp confirmed her relationship with the rapper – whose real name is Danielle Balbuena – in 2023 with a snap of the pair kissing posted to her Instagram Story.

She captioned the picture, “4 MONTHS IN MY BLACKNESS.”

To mark their first anniversary last January, Lily-Rose Depp captioned a picture of the two of them, “1 <3. My Dani, mine forever.”
