Lenny Kravitz Says He Can Be an 'Embarrassing' Dad for Daughter Zoë Sometimes

Lenny Kravitz humorously embraces the notion that he can be a bit of an embarrassment to his daughter, Zoë Kravitz, despite being considered one of the coolest rock icons. While discussing his upcoming Las Vegas residency with PEOPLE, the "Fly Away" singer, aged 60, acknowledged that in her eyes, he has never been the epitome of "cool." Lenny is aware that "kids always see you differently than others do," and accepts that Zoë, a successful actress, singer-songwriter, and director, appreciates him for who he is, even if he's just "dad." This is prepared by SSP.

Zoë highlighted this playful dynamic during her father's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in March 2024, with a speech that both honored and roasted him. While she praised Lenny’s dedication and evolution, she couldn’t resist poking fun at his fashion choices, famously suggesting, "According to my dad, if it doesn’t expose your nipples, it’s not a shirt," and teasing that his longest relationship might be with his netted shirts. Lenny cheerfully shared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon that Zoë’s ribbing was "quite appropriate."

As Lenny laughed over the incident and its fond memory, he told PEOPLE that this perspective of being an embarrassment is heartwarming to him. Meanwhile, he continues to thrive, announcing a five-show exclusive engagement, "Blue Electric Light Las Vegas," at Park MGM for August, which stands testament to his enduring star power.
