Lily-Rose Depp cuddled up to her co-star Troye Sivan as they posed at the premiere of their new drama The Idol at the 76th annual Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday.

The daughter of actor Johnny Depp, 23, couldn't wipe the smile off her face as she leant closely towards the singer, 27, at the event.

Troye was all smiles as he looked adoringly at the actress while posing for a group photo on the red carpet.

Lily-Rose showed off her slim figure and toned legs in a tiny black strapless dress as she joined co-stars The Weeknd, Ashley Levinson, Sam Levinson and Moses Sumney for a photo.

Meanwhile, Troye put on a stylish display in black flare pants, a collared shirt and a black blazer.

The event comes in the wake of a report from Rolling Stone in which insiders claimed the show had been completely rewritten and reshot with new scenes, described as 'sexual torture porn.'

One scene from the series reportedly depicts Lily-Rose's character with semen on her face, Deadline reported.

The actress has now been given a very crude nickname on social media.

Deadline previously reported that actress and acclaimed filmmaker Amy Seimetz had directed nearly the entire series before departing the project.

The Weeknd, who is a co-creator and executive producer, was reportedly unhappy with the show's creative direction.

He allegedly thought that it had too much of a 'female perspective,' and sources claimed that he wanted the show to focus more on his character, rather than Depp's character.

Levinson then took over as director, but instead of finishing the show and doing some reshoots, he reshot the entire series.

Red Rocket actress Suzanna Son was part of the original version of the show, but she did not return for the reshot version.

However, insiders told Rolling Stone that they were concerned about the extensive rewrites Levinson did, which included graphic sex scenes.

One insider said: 'It was like, "What is this? What am I reading here? It was like sexual torture porn."'

However, sources also said that the insiders quoted had not seen the final version of the show, and that the most controversial scenes in the script might not end up in the final cut.

Although many of the criticisms over the shows new, darker tone appeared to revolve around Depp's character, she defended Levinson and the current state of the show in a statement to E! News.

'Sam is, for so many reasons, the best director I have ever worked with. Never have I felt more supported or respected in a creative space, my input and opinions more valued,' she said.

'Working with Sam is a true collaboration in every way — it matters to him, more than anything, not only what his actors think about the work, but how we feel performing it.'

Sources also denied claims in the Rolling Stone article that the show's budget had ballooned to $80 million, as they said the reshoots were nowhere near that expensive while speaking to TMZ.
