Lily-Rose Depp still reels in fear as she watches one of her father’s most famous films.
Daughter of Johnny Depp, 25, stars in the supernatural thriller “Nosferatu,” but she still harbors defiant feelings toward one particular ’90s film on her father’s lengthy resume: “Edward Scissorhands.”
The Tim Burton-directed film was released in 1990 and focuses on the life of an unfinished humanoid, Edward (Johnny Depp), whose scissor blades for hands make it difficult for him to assimilate into suburban life.
