Zoe Kravitz is keeping her father humble. On Tuesday, Lenny Kravitz received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and Denzel Washington and others showed up to honor him at the ceremony. However, when it was Zoe’s turn to give a speech, the event was briefly disrupted. “I’ve seen you change in the most beautiful way. I’ve seen you remain the same in the most important ways. I’ve seen your incredible dedication to your art.” she said. “But mostly, I saw through your shirt.” She joked that, according to her father, any outfit that doesn’t expose her nipples doesn’t count as a shirt. Zoe added that as a child, she was embarrassed when Lenny would pick her up from school, but she now respects his shirt preferences. “You really come through. Your relationship with netted shirts is probably the longest,” she said. (Vulture could not be reached for comment on Lenny’s giant scarf.)
Zoe, the daughter of Lenny and Lisa Bonet, ultimately ends her speech on a more serious note, explaining that her father’s “madness” does not come from “shades and leather pants and knit shirts.” He clarified that it comes from a pure love for live music. . “You’re completely devouring life,” she said. “You eat every crumb and lick the plate. Life is your art and that’s why your music is so inspiring and important. You make people feel alive.” Judging by the comments section of this site, he seems to be making people feel pretty NSFW, so it’s no wonder his daughter doesn’t want to discuss his body of work that way. .
