“Watch the Jaw-Dropping Audition Video That Has Fans Utterly Divided Over Lily-Rose Depp’s Nosferatu Performance!”
Another wrote, “Haha. No mic, bad lighting, just turned on her laptop. Meanwhile I got an email after I sent an audition one time warning me if I don’t take it seriously they’ll never consider me again (mic on my shirt ended up being off and boom mic was only audio source).”
Contrary to what the internet thought, director Eggers was reportedly moved by Lily-Rose’s performance and reportedly gave her the role on the same day she auditioned.
“Myself, the casting director, and even the videographer were in tears, because it was so powerful,” the director told Deadline about her audition.
“She was, as she is in the film, incredibly brave, and raw, and powerful,” he said. “Her ability to tune into this dark and haunted place so quickly is pretty phenomenal.”
Lily-Rose, herself, was pleased with the final output of the horror film, which hit the big screen last December on Christmas Day.
“Oh my God! It’s not just scary, it’s gross, it’s revolting. It’s palpably effective,” she told Harper’s Bazaar earlier this month.

“It’s the most technical set I’ve ever been on,” she continued. “It was almost like going to film school. It was intimidating and daunting, but an incredible privilege. I’m very proud, very excited.”
The young actor’s movie choice appeared to be similar to her father’s, who has etched his name in Hollywood as one of the go-to stars for gory and supernatural themes.
