“I get quite strong headed about like, you know what, I deserve to be able to go on Hinge, and I will go on Hinge,” Sivan told Vogue Australia in the issue that is released Monday, July 3. “That’s almost a boundary of mine. I’m not going to let this stop me from living. If I want to make out with someone on a dance floor that I just met, I’m gonna do it. That’s my way of dealing with it so far.

Sivan, 28, stars alongside Depp, the 24-year-old daughter of Hollywood star Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis, in controversial TV drama, The Idol, that premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May.

“That’s something my mum always told me – value your privacy and keep things for yourself and all of that is really important, but don’t let it stop you from living your life,” Depp said, agreeing with Sivan.

The Idol was created by Abel ‘The Weeknd’ Tesfaye, Sam Levinson and Reza Fahim and sees Depp play a young pop star struggling to navigate the music industry and exploitation of women.

Sivan plays creative director Xander to Depp’s Jocelyn.

“Honest to god I couldn’t have done this without you,” Depp said of My My My singer Sivan. “We see these characters in really vulnerable states and that’s a place you have to find within yourself, to me at least, for the performance. I feel like the connection and friendship that we had was really grounding for me and a really safe space.”
