Earlier this month, Jennie made her acting debut on Sam Levinson’s new HBO drama series, The Idol starring Lily Rose-Depp and Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye.
Speaking of her role and her experience working with Depp, Jennie told Women’s Wear Daily that “it definitely was a challenge, because I’ve never experienced anything like that before.
“It was like breaking a wall for me,” she added.
“[Rose-Depp] really helped me a lot,” Jennie said. “Telling me about scenes, and it was very comforting to have her there.
The Idol follows the story of Jocelyn (Rose-Depp), a troubled popstar on the rise who falls prey to a cult leader named Tedros, played by Tesfaye.
The Idol is available to watch in the UK on Sky and NOW.
