Johnny Depp, who recently won a defamation case against his ex-wife Amber Heard, has commented on his experience with the Hollywood movie industry. Depp claimed, “They’re disposable and they realise it. Glorified accountants who have the ability to press the green light and make studio films… but they press the green light, they spent shitloads of money.” Depp has not had much work in Hollywood since being dropped from the Fantastic Beasts franchise, with the majority of his recent roles being in European cinema. His most recent role was King Louis XV in Jeanne Du Barry, where he performed in French.
Depp also discussed how fame has affected him over the years. “The thing hits you and then you can’t go anywhere without people looking at you. And that’s a very interesting way to grow up. But after 38 years of something like that…The first thing that’s really mad is to expect anyone who’s lived in that kind of situation to be anything remotely close to normal. Now, to make matters worse, I wasn’t normal before that. So I’ve had to adapt my world into the way that I have to live. How do I live? I live behind windows. I live behind car windows, train windows, plane windows, hotel room windows…fucking windows!”
Unfortunately, Depp was recently accused of verbally abusing Lola Glaudini on the set of the 2001 film Blow. Glaudini claimed that Depp “reamed in [her] face” after being given a cue by director Ted Demme to laugh after the actor delivered a monologue. Depp’s representatives have not yet commented on the allegations.
Despite not currently having much work in Hollywood, Depp has made a significant impact on the movie industry over his career, which includes iconic roles in films like Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow, and the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise
