Last Tuesday, March 12, Lenny Kravitz was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The veteran musician and composer, 59, was honored in a ceremony in which he appeared surrounded by stars. However, the most beloved and brilliant was with him at all times: his daughter, actress Zoë Kravitz.
It was she who was in charge of giving the speech to honor her father in such a special moment, and as it could not be otherwise given the genius that characterizes the family, she used jokes and sarcasm remembering all kinds of embarrassing anecdotes to “humiliate” him a little in front of his famous friends.
Laughing at her father in a way that only his only daughter could do, the actress paid tribute to her father’s brilliant musical career, which has already left for posterity hits such as Are You Gonna Go My Way, Fly Away, Rock’n ‘Roll is Dead or It Ain’t Over Till It’s Over.
In front of other celebrities like Denzel Washington or Zoë’s own fiancé, Channing Tatum, the actress began with her funny anecdotes, which included some jabs at her father’s stylistic choices over the years.
“Lenny Kravitz. I have had the pleasure of knowing you for a long time, and I must say that being your daughter has been one of the great adventures of my life,” the actress began, next to her father on the podium.
“Because you were so young when I was born, in many ways we have grown up together,” he explained, adding that “we have been through a lot. We have seen a lot. I have seen a lot. I have seen you change in the most beautiful ways. I have seen how you have changed.” “stayed the same in the most important ways. I’ve seen the way you present yourself and take care of the people you love. I’ve seen your incredible dedication to your art,” he said, before joking that “but most of all I’ve seen through your shirts”.
After a brief pause due to the laughter of the audience, the daughter that the singer had with actress Lisa Bonet continued explaining: “According to my father: ‘If it doesn’t expose your nipples, it’s not a shirt.’ And of course, I used to be embarrassed when he “He used to pick me up at school when I was a kid, but I have to say, at this point, I respect that. You really did it.”
The actress did not stop there with her father’s stylistic choices and his passion for transparencies. “Your relationship with the fishnet shirt is probably the longest and it works,” she continued. “You make each other better, and if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. It’s a beautiful thing.”
Lenny Kravitz couldn’t help but laugh at the small and affectionate darts that his daughter threw at him, although he was dressed for the occasion in a black suit and his now characteristic sunglasses.
“The good thing about you is not what people think is good about you,” he concluded, explaining to the audience that “your radicalism does not come from your sunglasses, leather pants or fishnet shirts. It comes from your true love for life. Life is your art. And that’s why your music is so inspiring and important. You make people feel alive. You remind them of the only thing that matters: love.”
