In short, it looks as if Mr Depp is going broke. Since then, we have been made aware of much greater catastrophes. But he never had to prostrate himself to the Southern Hemisphere for indulging his smaller pets. You just did not see Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton do this sort of thing in the 1970s (as Pitt, Depp and I are old enough to remember).
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard in their ‘insincere’ video apologising for illegally bringing their dogs into Australiaĭepp and Heard were compelled to apologise and urge others to canine vigilance in a video that set new standards for cringe-inducing insincerity. The case rumbled on for a year before the couple were issued with a fine and a warning. In April 2015, Depp and Amber Heard, momentarily his wife, broke that nation’s biosecurity laws when they flew their Yorkshire terriers into Queensland without placing the beasts in quarantine. Then there was that humiliating falling-out between Australia and the Depp dogs. Awful films such as Mordecai and Alice Through the Looking Glass have bombed at the box office. A few photographs have shown evidence that middle-age can ravage even princes of the Hollywood uplands. In contrast, Depp is properly letting us down.

A recent GQ photoshoot had something of the midlife crisis about it. The divorce from Angelina Jolie is looking messy. Almost nobody else born in 1963 continued to gleam so radiantly as Brad and Johnny, but the news that such incandescence was still possible offered some small comfort. As time passed and hair became sparse, Depp and Pitt obliged by remaining trim, glamorous and fantastically popular. All three of us were born in the same year. Join us as we look back at the good, bad, and very ugly of a truly unusual career.Your current correspondent has always been grateful for the continuing existence of Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp. Still, the fact that everyone’s buzzing about it is a testament to the incredible scope of his legacy, slightly tainted or otherwise. The jury is still out on the overall effect: Some think that the gangster role is a return to form others argue that it’s just a more violent and Oscar-friendly version of the same grandstanding that’s defined the back half of Depp’s working life. Smothering his good looks under a thin head of hair and his expressive eyes beneath a pair of cloudy contact lenses, Depp plays notorious Boston mobster Whitey Bulger with the kind of violent urgency you can’t take for granted. (Hey, if McConaughey gets one, our man Johnny should too). This weekend’s Black Mass, in which the actor aims a loaded shotgun at our lowered expectations, could be the spark that ignites the Deppessaince.
JOHNNY DEPP NEW MOVIES MOVIE
But you dismiss one of the world’s last true movie stars at your own peril. And then Pirates of the Caribbean happened, and the rest is Bruckheimer-produced history Depp’s descent into self-parody has certainly been lucrative - these days, the man can buy islands the way the rest of us buy coffee - but his reputation isn’t what it used to be, (a few Mortdecais will do that to you).
Once upon a time, Johnny Depp was synonymous with artistic integrity, a heartthrob who counterintuitively evolved into a superstar by resisting his matinee-idol looks in favor of whacked-out character-actor roles that sparked his imagination.
