1
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,840
Is to deliver something
that's fresh each time,
2
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,080
something that's new or
at least to attempt that.
3
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,320
The real responsibility
is to entertain them,
4
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,200
to try and make 'em laugh.
5
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:31,400
That's really it.
6
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:39,720
Johnny Depp
7
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,040
is perhaps one of the
most versatile actors
8
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:43,880
of his day and age in Hollywood
9
00:00:45,160 --> 00:00:47,280
and has carved a
legacy for himself
10
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,800
as a serious,
well-rounded performer.
11
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,080
I started out to make a
film that everyone will hate,
12
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,160
to go out of your way to
see if they'll just hate it.
13
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,120
I've done that
before, haven't I?
14
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:01,920
His tendency to frequently play
15
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,360
freakishly eccentric outcast,
16
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,120
whose oddities are
misunderstood by society
17
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,920
has made him one of the
world's best character actors
18
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:14,120
with iconic roles such
as Captain Jack Sparrow
19
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:15,320
and Willy Wonka.
20
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:16,640
With all the
characters I've played,
21
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,400
they're still pretty
close to the surface.
22
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:23,440
There's still each and every
one relatively accessible.
23
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,320
From his stranger
roles like the Mad Hatter
24
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,920
in Alice in Wonderland to
more conventional performances
25
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:32,640
like John Dillinger
in Public Enemies,
26
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,720
Johnny Depp has managed to
capture the hearts of millions,
27
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,680
making him a household name.
28
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,720
It's just so much fun to,
29
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,800
well, get away with things that
you're not normally allowed
30
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,360
to get away with it.
31
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,920
John is a lot of fun to write
32
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,280
and he also helps out
and contributes a lot
33
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,200
to the character.
34
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:52,280
He knows it so well.
35
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:53,800
He knows what the
character would say.
36
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,320
He embellishes things
so effectively.
37
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,840
He is sensationally
professional and talented actor.
38
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,720
John, he's a legend, he.
39
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,160
Johnny Depp
is Hollywood's chameleon.
40
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,520
I've just been very
lucky over the years.
41
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,760
It's a miracle that
people still hire me
42
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,600
after some of the stuff
I've gotten away with.
43
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:30,320
I mean, honestly.
44
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,760
I lay it all down to luck.
45
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,360
There was no way to predict,
46
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,840
prior to Pirates
of the Caribbean,
47
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:46,080
I was labeled,
48
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,760
they literally used to
call me box office poison,
49
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:51,880
which I was kind of okay with.
50
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:54,240
That didn't bother me at all,
51
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,560
then suddenly Pirates happened.
52
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,040
Suddenly, Tim doesn't
have to fight with studios
53
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,240
to get me the gig anymore,
54
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,320
which he had to for many years.
55
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,080
It just happens.
56
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:24,880
Initially known as a teen idol
57
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:26,920
for his tortured
pretty boy looks,
58
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,680
Johnny Depp survived the perils
59
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,120
of adolescent heartthrob
status to earn a reputation
60
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,240
as a respected adult actor.
61
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,040
Johnny Depp was born
on June 9th, 1963
62
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,000
in Owensboro, Kentucky,
63
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,200
the youngest of four
children of waitress,
64
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,280
Betty Sue Palmer and civil
engineer, John Christopher Depp.
65
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,440
Johnny, what else
can we expect to see you in?
66
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,280
Well, it's called
something else now.
67
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:00,880
I think it's called
Learning to Fly.
68
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,880
It'll be out in September.
69
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,320
The family moved frequently
70
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:09,760
during his childhood,
71
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,640
eventually settling in
Miramar, Florida in 1970.
72
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,080
His parents divorced
in 1978 when he was 15
73
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,880
and his mother later
married Robert Palmer,
74
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,280
whom Johnny has
called an inspiration.
75
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,920
Johnny was gifted a
guitar by his mother
76
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,680
when he was 12 years old and
began playing in various bands.
77
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,320
He dropped out of Miramar
High School aged 16 in 1979
78
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,520
to become a rock musician.
79
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,680
He attempted to go back
to school two weeks later
80
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,440
but the principal told
him to follow his dream
81
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:47,760
of being a musician.
82
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,320
In 1980, he began
playing guitar in a band
83
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:54,640
called The Kids.
84
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,320
After modest local
success in Florida,
85
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,000
the band moved to Los Angeles
in pursuit of a record deal,
86
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,360
changing their name
to Six Gun Method.
87
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:11,400
In December 1983,
88
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,400
Johnny married makeup
artist, Lori Anne Allison
89
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,760
the sister of his band's
bassist and singer.
90
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,840
The Kids split up before
signing a record deal in 1984
91
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,640
and Johnny subsequently
began collaborating
92
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,880
with the band, Rock City Angels.
93
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,480
In the early 1980s,
Johnny Depp's then wife,
94
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,640
Lori Anne Allison introduced
him to actor, Nicholas Cage
95
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,360
who advised him to
pursue an acting career.
96
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,840
His first role was
in the horror film,
97
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,000
A Nightmare on
Elm Street in 1984
98
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,640
in which he played the boyfriend
of heroine, Nancy Thompson
99
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,640
and one of Freddy
Krueger's victims.
100
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,040
Johnny Depp became a teen
idol during the late 1980s
101
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,320
when he starred as an
undercover police officer
102
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,120
in a high school operation
in the Fox television series,
103
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,600
21 Jump Street, which
premiered in 1987.
104
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:11,480
What are you doing?
105
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:12,800
This is the way it works.
106
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:15,560
Stare him down, Hansen.
107
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,320
Now the homeboy's in your face.
108
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,480
He don't stay here to
see if you punk out.
109
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,320
We can be like
this for days, man.
110
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,320
No, you won't 'cause after
you see that you ain't no punk
111
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,720
and that you don't punk
out, he's gon' to ask you
112
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:39,760
where you from.
113
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,440
He accepted this role
114
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,800
to work with actor, Frederic
Forrest who inspired him.
115
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,240
Despite his success,
116
00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:52,240
he felt that the series forced
him into the role of product.
117
00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:55,120
He subsequently decided
to appear only in films
118
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:56,760
that he felt were right for him.
119
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,560
After his early
acting experiences,
120
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,240
Johnny began to prioritize
roles he found more interesting
121
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,640
rather than those he knew
would instantly succeed
122
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:20,880
at the box office.
123
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,280
His first film release
in 1990 was Cry-Baby,
124
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,520
a musical comedy
set in the 1950s.
125
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,240
Although it was not a
huge box office success
126
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:32,720
upon its release,
127
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,480
over the years, it has gained
its status as a cult classic.
128
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,040
1990 also saw the beginning
129
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,120
of Johnny Depp's
infamous relationship
130
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,520
and collaborations
with Tim Burton.
131
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,320
Their first
collaboration saw Johnny
132
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,760
and Edward Scissorhands
alongside Winona Ryder.
133
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,360
The film was a commercial
and critical success
134
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,240
and began the long association
between Johnny Depp
135
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,440
and Tim Burton.
136
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,840
Another of Johnny's
memorable roles from the '90s
137
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,480
was in the drama, What's
Eating Gilbert Grape?
138
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,520
In which he starred alongside
another upcoming actor
139
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,800
of the time, Leonardo DiCaprio.
140
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,680
In 1994, Johnny took on
his second collaboration
141
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,480
with Tim Burton in Ed
Wood, a biographical film
142
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,080
about one of history's
most inept film directors.
143
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,480
Johnny has said the film gave
him a chance to stretch out
144
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,440
and have some fun
with acting again.
145
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,680
Ed Wood received a
positive reception
146
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,640
with many critics noting
Johnny's performance,
147
00:08:34,680 --> 00:08:36,520
pointing out that he
had proved himself
148
00:08:36,560 --> 00:08:39,560
as an established
certified actor.
149
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,760
He was nominated for a Golden
Globe for this performance.
150
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,560
Johnny Depp's starred
alongside Al Pacino
151
00:08:47,560 --> 00:08:51,080
in the 1997 crime
drama, Donnie Brasco.
152
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,480
To prepare for this role,
153
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,640
Johnny spent time with
the real life Joe Pistone,
154
00:08:56,680 --> 00:08:58,880
on whose memoirs
the film was based.
155
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,440
Donnie Brasco was a commercial
and critical success
156
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,520
and is considered one of
Johnny's finest performances.
157
00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:07,920
He gave him his trust.
158
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,400
You gotta get rid
of that mustache
159
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:10,640
and get yourself
a pair of pants.
160
00:09:10,680 --> 00:09:12,040
Dress just like me.
161
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,920
He loved him like a son.
162
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,160
Nobody can touch you
because I represent you.
163
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,280
Keep your nose clean, follow
the rules, be a good earner
164
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,840
and maybe one day when
they open the books,
165
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,040
you become a wise guy.
166
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,560
I'd die with you, Donnie.
167
00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:27,680
But he never knew the truth.
168
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,000
There's a war going
on in that mafia family
169
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,680
and that is where
Joe is undercover.
170
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:33,720
Donnie, come here.
171
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,400
The end of the 1990s
172
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,920
saw Johnny take on further
memorable roles in the film,
173
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,320
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
174
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,480
as well as another
collaboration with Tim Burton
175
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,720
for the period
film, Sleepy Hollow.
176
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,760
Critics have described
the characters he plays
177
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,160
as iconic loners.
178
00:09:55,680 --> 00:09:58,280
Johnny's ability to embody all
of the different characters
179
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,240
he plays makes for a
spectacular show on screen,
180
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,520
improves his
diversity as an actor.
181
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,800
Johnny Depp began a
relationship with French actress
182
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,840
and singer, Vanessa Paradis,
183
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,920
whom he met while filming The
Ninth Gate in France in 1998.
184
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,600
Have you ever
seen someone across the room
185
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,280
and had that feeling of
true love at first site?
186
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,760
Yeah, we've been
together about 11 years
187
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,240
and we have two children.
188
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,200
What happened?
189
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,600
I saw her back from
about 30 yards away,
190
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,640
I saw her back and her neck
191
00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:39,440
and then turned around
suddenly and looked at me.
192
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,160
I was stupefied and
then it was over.
193
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,800
They have two children,
194
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,880
daughter, Lily Rose
Melody Depp born in 1999
195
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,160
and son, John
Christopher Depp III
196
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,720
known as Jack born in 2002.
197
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,040
He stated that having children
198
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,840
has given him a real foundation,
199
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,280
a real strong place
to stand in life.
200
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:11,280
I mean, I think I was making
choices back then for my kid
201
00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:17,520
so that when I was all
dried up and burned out
202
00:11:17,560 --> 00:11:20,760
in this business,
that my children
203
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,120
would have something
to be proud of
204
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,520
or hopefully be
proud of one day.
205
00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:31,120
They can watch it and say
their dad did good work
206
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:32,160
for a little while.
207
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,240
In 2003, Johnny Depp stepped
208
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:47,160
into what would become one
of his most iconic roles.
209
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,440
Walt Disney Pictures announced
a new adventure film,
210
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,280
Pirates of the Caribbean,
The Curse of the Black Pearl
211
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,760
and Johnny was playing
the now infamous,
212
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,400
Captain Jack Sparrow.
213
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,840
The film was a worldwide success
214
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,880
and Johnny earned
widespread acclaim
215
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,880
for his comic performance
as Captain Jack,
216
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,840
also receiving a nomination
for the Academy Award
217
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:30,880
for best actor.
218
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,800
Captain Jack was basically...
219
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:40,200
How I saw the character was
a sort of weird combination
220
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:45,240
between a 18th century
rock and roll star,
221
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,800
I.e, Keith Richards
and then Pepe Le Pew,
222
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:56,360
who was a skunk basically.
223
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,920
The character
of Captain Jack Sparrow
224
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,920
is adored by fans who
became instantly obsessed
225
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,000
with his comical mannerisms
and bizarre personality.
226
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,240
Studio executives had
at first been conflicted
227
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,320
about his portrayal
of the character
228
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,960
but clearly Captain Jack is
very popular with audiences.
229
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,920
Pirates of the
Caribbean became iconic
230
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,840
and one of Disney's best loved
action and adventure films
231
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,360
with its popularity giving
the creators incentive
232
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,080
to begin work on a sequel.
233
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,440
In 2005, Johnny Depp,
once again collaborated
234
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,240
with Tim Burton in a new
take on a classic story,
235
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:48,960
Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory.
236
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,000
In true Tim Burton's style,
237
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,480
the film had a
slightly dark plot
238
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,360
keeping in theme with
his usual creepy style.
239
00:13:58,560 --> 00:14:00,240
Johnny played Willy Wonka,
240
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,040
a very different
type of character
241
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,800
to any he had played before.
242
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,760
Once I found him, he was okay.
243
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:14,560
All the sort of elements
combined would get you there
244
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,480
but the trick was finding him
245
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,120
and Tim and I had
had talks early on
246
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,320
of what this Wonka might be,
247
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:30,120
where he might be coming
from which were very helpful,
248
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:31,280
those discussions.
249
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:36,080
Talking about
children's show hosts
250
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:41,040
like we seen as kids who talk
251
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:45,880
this bizarre kind of
speech pattern, rhythm
252
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:51,680
that's very melodic
and kind of stressful.
253
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,360
"Hello children,
how are you today?"
254
00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:04,280
That sort of thing became
the foundation for the guy
255
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:10,320
and then you just started
thinking about other things
256
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,800
like game show hosts
and stuff like that.
257
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,080
Once I found him,
258
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,120
it was pretty easy to
get there every day.
259
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,400
The way his character was styled
260
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,800
has now become memorable
as the look of Willy Wonka,
261
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,280
the one that children
will often dress up as.
262
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,280
One of the more
interesting sequences to film
263
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:35,320
was when Tim locked us in
the great glass elevator,
264
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:43,160
suspended 100 feet in the air,
265
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:51,320
very hot, children
and that kind of thing
266
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:57,680
and then having to imagine
what Fudge Mountain looks like
267
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,920
and the sheep being sheared.
268
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,280
That was a kind of an
obtuse experience, but yeah.
269
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,680
Johnny Depp
brings some amazing work
270
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,280
to this role from
the voice he puts on
271
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,080
to over the top actions.
272
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,560
His ability to push everything
to its absolute limit
273
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,160
makes it such a fun
performance to watch.
274
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,040
Try some of my grass, please
have a blink, please do.
275
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,200
It's so delectable and
so darn good looking.
276
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:30,680
You can eat the grass?
277
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,640
Of course you can.
278
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,640
Everything in this room is
eatable, even I'm eatable
279
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,720
but that is called
cannibalism, my dear children
280
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,040
and it's in fact, frowned
upon in most societies.
281
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,720
Now, enjoy.
282
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:48,560
Go on, shoo!
283
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,160
The fact that
Willy Wonka's back story
284
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,600
featured quite heavily
throughout the film
285
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,160
gave it an unusual twist to
the classic children's story.
286
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,800
Getting an idea of where this
wacky personality comes from
287
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,160
was certainly interesting.
288
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,120
This film was followed by
another Burton collaboration
289
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,080
in 2005, where Johnny
voiced the character
290
00:17:15,120 --> 00:17:18,920
of Victor Van Dort in the
stop-motion animated film,
291
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:19,960
Corpse Bride.
292
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,960
2006 saw the long
awaited pirates sequel,
293
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,720
Pirates of the Caribbean,
Dead Man's Chest.
294
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,080
Audiences couldn't wait to
see Johnny reprise the role
295
00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:37,120
of Captain Jack Sparrow
296
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,880
and according to several
surveys at the time,
297
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,160
this was the main reason
298
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,160
many people went to see
the film in cinemas.
299
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:45,440
When we did the first one,
300
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,240
we thought we'd put
everything we could think of,
301
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,120
a talking parrot and
a monkey and skeleton,
302
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:52,720
sword fighting skeletons
303
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,160
but then we started going
304
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:58,160
into the the sort of
mystical history of the ocean
305
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,880
and we came up with things
like Davy Jones and the Kraken
306
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,320
or Kraken or Kraken
307
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,480
depending on who you talk
about, the sea creature.
308
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,720
There's more adventure,
there's more action.
309
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,120
We had a bigger budget so
we got to have more fun.
310
00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:13,720
The sequel also introduced.
311
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,680
Captain Jack's biggest rival,
312
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,680
Davy Jones played by
actor, Bill Nighy.
313
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,240
- Oh.
- You have a debt to pay.
314
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,240
You've been captain of the
Black Pearl for 13 years.
315
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,360
That was our agreement.
316
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,280
Technically, I was only
captain for two years,
317
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,360
then I was viciously
mutinied upon.
318
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,320
Then you're a poor captain
but a captain nonetheless.
319
00:18:44,360 --> 00:18:47,600
Have you not introduced
yourself all these years
320
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,280
as Captain Jack Sparrow?
321
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,760
Dead Man's
Chest was closely followed
322
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:58,000
by another sequel, Pirates of
the Caribbean, At World's End
323
00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,640
in 2007.
324
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,320
Both films were box
office successes.
325
00:19:02,360 --> 00:19:03,840
Well, this one, you
get everything explained
326
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,800
to you that was left so
infuriatingly hanging last time.
327
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,320
Everything is neatly
dovetailed and resolved
328
00:19:10,360 --> 00:19:12,240
and you get to see
why David Jones
329
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:17,360
is actually surprisingly rather
decent, tender, loving guy.
330
00:19:18,360 --> 00:19:19,880
No, unfortunately
he remains a maniac
331
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,760
but you at least get to
see what happened to him
332
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,200
and why he's so
angry and intense.
333
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,680
As the third
installment of the franchise
334
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,360
seemed to wrap up
some major plot lines,
335
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,720
fans were worried this
was the last they'd see
336
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,160
of Captain Jack.
337
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,760
The character that Johnny
developed so in-depth,
338
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,440
Captain Jack Sparrow is
appreciated worldwide
339
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,280
and Johnny regularly
attends charity events
340
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:49,120
for children's hospitals dressed
as the infamous character
341
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,000
to surprise and bring
joy to the patients.
342
00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:59,560
In 2007, Johnny Depp took on
the rule of murderous barber,
343
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,520
Sweeney Todd for his sixth
film with Tim Burton.
344
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,720
Sweeney Todd, The Demon
Barber of Fleet Street
345
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,760
was developed from the
original 1979 stage musical
346
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,280
and although Johnny was not
a fan of the musical genre,
347
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,080
he had grown to like
the tail's treatment.
348
00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:21,640
In the chair, come
on, Sweeney's waiting.
349
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,520
I want your.
350
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,280
You sir, two, sir.
351
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:26,320
Welcome to the grave.
352
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,280
I can guarantee the closest
shave you'll ever known.
353
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,640
May the good Lord smile on you.
354
00:20:53,360 --> 00:20:55,720
Although he had
performed in musical groups,
355
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,400
Johnny was initially unsure
that he would be able
356
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,480
to perform the role which
required him to sing.
357
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,280
He recorded demos and worked
with his old band mate,
358
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,880
Bruce Witkin to shape his vocals
359
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,920
without a qualified voice coach.
360
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,280
Starring alongside fellow
Tim Burton veteran,
361
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,560
Helena Bonham Carter, the
film was a huge success
362
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,440
and was praised
highly by critics.
363
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,520
Johnny won a Golden
Globe for his performance
364
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,480
and was once again nominated
for an Academy Award.
365
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,680
Johnny Depp reunited with
director, Terry Gilliam
366
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:37,000
for the Imaginarium of
Doctor Parnassus in 2009,
367
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,080
in which Johnny, Jude
Law and Colin Farrell
368
00:21:40,120 --> 00:21:42,560
each played the character
initially portrayed
369
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,760
by their friend, Heath Ledger,
370
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,920
who died before the
film was completed.
371
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,000
All three actors
gave their salaries
372
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:51,760
to Ledger's daughter, Matilda.
373
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:58,280
He then started in Michael
Mann's, 1930s crime film,
374
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,640
Public Enemies in which he
portrayed real life gangster,
375
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,480
John Dillinger.
376
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,960
Dillinger was basically a guy
377
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,200
who was public enemy number one
378
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,400
but with me, myself, I
never saw him as an enemy
379
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:13,560
of the public.
380
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,360
I always saw John
Dillinger in a way
381
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:20,280
as a 1930s version
of the Robin Hood.
382
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,600
What is it
exactly you do for a living?
383
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,000
John Dillinger, I rob banks.
384
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,680
That's a serious thing to
say to a girl you just met.
385
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,160
I like baseball, movies, good
clothes, fast cars and you.
386
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,160
What else do you need to know?
387
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:44,760
Either way, I think
that Johnny's done
388
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,520
some of the most brilliant
work that any actor,
389
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:53,560
in particular Depp and
it's the inside is exposed
390
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,560
and I like him playing
this kind of a character.
391
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,520
A tough guy, a real man.
392
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,280
It was really probably
through Johnny,
393
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:02,960
and maybe one other
persons I won't name
394
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,840
but if they didn't do it,
395
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,080
I don't think I'd
have done a movie.
396
00:23:06,120 --> 00:23:07,800
I am declaring United
States of America's
397
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,040
first war on crime.
398
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,160
Your task would
be to get John Dillinger.
399
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:14,520
Are you up to that
task, Agent Purvis?
400
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:15,560
Absolutely, sir.
401
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:22,880
That's your money, mister?
402
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,080
Yes.
403
00:23:24,120 --> 00:23:25,640
We're here for the bank's
money, not yours. Put it away.
404
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,520
Now the whole country
thinks you're a damn hero.
405
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,200
Robbing banks is
getting tougher.
406
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:30,920
We're having too
good a time today,
407
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,280
we ain't thinking
about tomorrow.
408
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:34,520
Well, you ought to.
409
00:23:36,120 --> 00:23:39,520
- Johnny!
- Put some clothes on, miss.
410
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:40,960
How long did it take you
411
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,480
to go through a bank?
412
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,440
About one minute
40 seconds, flat.
413
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,440
Well, here's a man who killed
pretty boy.
414
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,560
The only way that you
will leave a jail cell
415
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,360
is when we take you
out to execute you.
416
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,080
It is an interesting
time for a film like this
417
00:23:58,120 --> 00:24:00,920
because when you when you
look at John Dillinger
418
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,680
back in those days with
the public rooting for him,
419
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,520
the public's sticking by him
and supporting him at that time
420
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:08,320
against the banks,
421
00:24:08,360 --> 00:24:09,880
against the government.
422
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,240
In today's day and age,
423
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,520
today's digital sort of
whirlwind that where in
424
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,560
because of the amount of cell
phones and all that stuff,
425
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,840
he would have been sold out
in like a half a second.
426
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,320
That's a kind of an interesting
perspective on things.
427
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:22,920
Michael Mann was saying
that he was looking forward
428
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:24,560
to getting your way perhaps,
429
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,360
from the more
whimsical characters
430
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:27,720
and getting you to
play a tough guy
431
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,600
'cause he said that Johnny
Depp is a tough guy.
432
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,000
Was it nice getting your
hands a bit dirtier?
433
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:34,960
Well, you always
try and get your hands
434
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,400
as dirty as possible
in any case.
435
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,120
Sure, it was nice to tackle
a character like this.
436
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:41,720
I don't think it's
anything I've done before,
437
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,120
which was part of the excitement
438
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,560
and it's nice to fire a lot
of Thompson submachine guns
439
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:48,600
as well.
440
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,720
The next
Depp-Burton collaboration
441
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,440
was Alice in Wonderland in 2010.
442
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:57,720
This is your
seventh collaboration
443
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,080
with Tim Burton.
444
00:24:59,120 --> 00:25:00,760
Is there anything you
will not do for this man?
445
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,720
No, I would absolutely
do anything for the guy
446
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:04,560
without question.
447
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:05,360
Wouldn't matter.
448
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:06,640
He played the Mad Hatter
449
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,880
alongside other A-list stars,
450
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,760
Helena Bonham Carter, Anne
Hathaway and Alan Rick man.
451
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:18,080
I wanted the Hatter to,
something that Tim and I early on
452
00:25:18,120 --> 00:25:21,760
we're talking about, if
this guy were actually made
453
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,320
up of different people,
454
00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:26,640
they would be the extreme
sides of these people.
455
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:31,720
I wanted to go extremely
kind of dark and yeah,
456
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,080
dangerous with
the Scotts accent.
457
00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:37,600
I hope I arrived there.
458
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:43,480
My kids actually saw the
film 'cause I haven't.
459
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,720
I sent them out there
in the front lines.
460
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:51,360
They saw it and loved
it, absolutely adored it.
461
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,480
Went crazy, quoting
things from it
462
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,000
and just thought it was amazing.
463
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,200
Loved every character
464
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,280
and weren't freaked
out by it whatsoever.
465
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:04,840
This role, once again
466
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,160
showed Johnny's amazing
skills as a character actor
467
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,680
developing the Mad Hatter
into a larger than life role.
468
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,840
It was another one that
you felt very strongly
469
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:21,520
about, how he should look,
what his behavior was like,
470
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,680
in the end that he shouldn't
be just very simply
471
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,920
throwing a rubber ball into a
room and letting them go nuts
472
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,440
and just for laughs and stuff.
473
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,040
I thought that there should
be some other side to him,
474
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:45,080
some degree of damage,
some trauma in there.
475
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,120
He's a bit damaged and yeah,
476
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,840
I could more than
anything again,
477
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,920
to use the word luck again
478
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,320
because I feel so lucky to have,
479
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:05,720
well, to get away with it
480
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:06,960
because each time
out of the gate,
481
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,560
there's always somebody
that comes around
482
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,800
and says, oh Jesus,
what's he doing now?
483
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:18,960
You kind of just
feel, in a weird way
484
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:21,640
and I don't mean this
in a negative way
485
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,120
but you've sort of
infiltrated the enemy camp
486
00:27:23,120 --> 00:27:26,920
on some level and you
made it through unscathed.
487
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,760
My approach to the character,
488
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:36,400
it was just the idea of trying
to find those places inside
489
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,120
to go from extreme
sides of personality.
490
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:47,160
One minute you're at
full capacity rage
491
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,560
and then the next minute,
492
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:53,680
you've dropped into some kind
of horrific tailspin of fear
493
00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:01,480
and then you go to some
very, great height of levity.
494
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:08,400
That was just what I
tried to do within scenes
495
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,920
as much as I could find
the right moments for him.
496
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:16,960
The following
year saw the release
497
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,800
of the fourth installment
in the Pirates series,
498
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,880
Pirates of the Caribbean,
On Stranger Tides,
499
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:24,800
much to the surprise of fans.
500
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,920
You could guide an expedition.
501
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,080
You are Jack Sparrow.
502
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,040
There should be a
captain in there somewhere.
503
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,080
With all the characters you
play, I mean, at least for me,
504
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,440
with all the
characters I've played,
505
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,720
they're still pretty
close to the surface.
506
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:47,560
They're still each and every
one relatively accessible.
507
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:50,520
You're right though.
508
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,560
Some of them, you
have to work up to,
509
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,840
and other one's just
come a little bit easier
510
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,000
and Captain Jack, certainly
having played him now
511
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:01,680
four times, he arrives
pretty quickly.
512
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:04,720
He arrives a little too quickly
513
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:08,760
but in fact, he
arrives in life a lot,
514
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:15,440
dropping your kids off at
school and he'll just show up.
515
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:19,120
Jack Sparrow, this
is his invention.
516
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:20,120
It's his series.
517
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:21,720
He's made it a success
518
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,760
along with a lot of other
talented people behind him
519
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:25,800
and with him.
520
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,800
It's his to champion
and hopefully carry on.
521
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,880
The fountain is the prize.
522
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,080
Mermaid Waters,
523
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:35,360
that could be our path.
524
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:37,480
Steady as she goes.
525
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:38,840
What's your play, Jack?
526
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,960
I thought I should give you
warning, we're taking the ship.
527
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,720
It's nothing personal.
528
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,160
You just, stay out of it.
529
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:49,920
I always leave a
cliffhanger at the end
530
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:51,400
and you think, I've
got a funny feeling
531
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:52,840
we're all gonna be getting
back together again
532
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,440
in another year or two.
533
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,520
The crew are amazing.
534
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,080
The set, the attention
to detail, the costumes
535
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,640
and the makeup makes our
job really easy to do.
536
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,480
You always feel
that responsibility
537
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:07,760
and you feel grateful for
great people like them
538
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,000
to give me an opportunity
to be part of it.
539
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:15,040
I felt very welcome and I
enjoyed every minute of it.
540
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,440
They'll be dangers
along the way.
541
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:22,040
Firstly, mermaids,
zombies, Blackbeard,
542
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:25,800
the pirate all pirates fear.
543
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:32,880
If I do not make it to the
fountain, neither will you.
544
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,040
- Is that it?
- I think so.
545
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,120
It has began, again!
546
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,080
Are we not kings men?
547
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:54,360
How is it we can never meet
548
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,160
without you pointing
something at me?
549
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:57,920
There's the Jack I know.
550
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:06,880
Fight to the bitter end!
551
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,800
You know that feeling you
get when you're standing
552
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,200
in a high place to
suddenly just jump?
553
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,760
I don't have it.
554
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:23,520
Did everyone see that because
I will not be doing it again.
555
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,080
The only responsibility
really, I think you have
556
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,080
is to deliver something
that's fresh each time,
557
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:33,000
something that's new or
at least to attempt that.
558
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,680
The real responsibility
is to entertain them,
559
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,120
to try and make 'em laugh.
560
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:40,480
That's really it.
561
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,440
Already starting
out as a pirate,
562
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:46,520
you're not on good footing
563
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:51,560
in terms of making an impression
564
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,040
'cause the pirate
that's too good
565
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,120
would probably be
thrown out, wouldn't he?
566
00:31:58,120 --> 00:31:59,120
Thrown overboard.
567
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:02,280
I think our only responsibility,
568
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,920
my only responsibility
is just to try
569
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,920
and invent new situations,
570
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,480
new bits and pieces
that entertain.
571
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,480
The film
featured new cast members
572
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,760
who hadn't appeared
in the earlier films,
573
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,520
creating different storylines.
574
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,360
This installment of
the Pirate series
575
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,160
was again, a box office success.
576
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:28,080
It's funny how the
films have been accepted
577
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,840
and how the characters
have been accepted
578
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:39,640
and you think back when we first
started out on Pirates one,
579
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:40,920
it was very simple.
580
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,360
It's just like any
other character,
581
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,560
you just sort of
grab bits and pieces
582
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:49,480
and out comes this kind of
weird little stew you've created
583
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:54,280
and so what I'm saying is,
584
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,280
none of us have done
anything really different
585
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:57,920
other than just kind of
create these characters
586
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,160
and then boom, whatever
happened happened.
587
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,520
It's the first time I was
ever offered the opportunity
588
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:09,120
to say, hey, there's a
couple of more possibilities
589
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,600
or there's a few
more bits to mind
590
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,280
in terms of the character
591
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:18,120
and it's just so much fun
to get away with things
592
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,160
that you're not normally
allowed to get away with,
593
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:25,200
to be totally irreverent, to
play as absurd as you'd like.
594
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:35,240
It's a very special opportunity.
595
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,480
In 2011, Johnny Depp worked
596
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,160
on a new animated film
597
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,480
in which he voiced
the title character,
598
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,160
a lizard in Rango.
599
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,120
The film had a worldwide appeal
600
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,400
and showed Johnny could
still create magic
601
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:53,960
from behind a camera
602
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,320
just using his voice to
develop a lovable character.
603
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,280
Johnny then returned to
Hunter S. Thompson's work
604
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:07,360
in a film adaptation of
the novel, The Rum Diary
605
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,960
which also became the
first project undertaken
606
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,680
by his production
company, Infinitum Nihil.
607
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,360
He found this novel
608
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,520
and the novel got published
40 years after it was written.
609
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,840
Then asked me to have a go
at the screenplay for it,
610
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:24,720
which I did.
611
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,920
I'm a screenwriter, that's I do.
612
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,720
Then to my amazement, he said,
okay, now you can direct it
613
00:34:30,720 --> 00:34:33,560
and I was very resistant
to that at first
614
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,080
but, it's pretty
cool being pulleyed
615
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,480
by world's number one film star.
616
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,360
No, you're doing it
617
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,520
and phoning up, you're
doing it, doing it.
618
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,320
It's his face on screen.
619
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:45,640
His risk, not mine.
620
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,240
If the film is a
complete failure,
621
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:51,880
it's Johnny on screen, not me.
622
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,080
It was a book that
almost never happened.
623
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:58,360
Weirdly, it was something
that I accidentally located
624
00:34:58,400 --> 00:34:59,680
when I was going
through the manuscripts
625
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:01,200
of Fear and Loathing
in Las Vegas
626
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,240
with Hunter in his war room
627
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,720
and we sat down and
started reading the thing,
628
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:09,160
cross-legged on the
floor and Hunter said,
629
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,680
"We should make
this into a film."
630
00:35:12,720 --> 00:35:15,480
I said, "Yeah, maybe you
should publish it first."
631
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,200
He is sensationally
professional and talented actor
632
00:35:19,240 --> 00:35:21,880
but he's also a great
painter and a great musician
633
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,280
and he's got a wonderful
library and I'm a bibliomaniac.
634
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,360
I collect the same
writers that he does
635
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,240
so there was an
immediate symbiosis
636
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,520
between us on that level in
that the first time we met,
637
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,760
we sat there all afternoon
talking about Verlaine
638
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,800
and so that was all good stuff.
639
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,280
We worked very hard
together to try to get it done
640
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:49,760
and because it was such
a long shot at that time,
641
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:54,400
the two of us doing some
sort unexpected tap dance
642
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,080
to try to get
money for the film.
643
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:57,520
It didn't work very well
644
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:02,240
and we kept pushing forward
and then 2,500 made his exit.
645
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,320
After we'd gotten
Bruce on board,
646
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:12,960
we pushed it
through, but I mean,
647
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,680
14 years to get this thing made.
648
00:36:15,720 --> 00:36:17,600
So there's
been a labor of love for you?
649
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,920
Of course, it was Hunter's
last, one of his last dreams
650
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,120
so I had to make it come
true, there was no other way.
651
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:27,920
I mean, obviously there's a
little bit more responsibility
652
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,840
in terms of you're playing
someone who you knew and loved
653
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:35,840
but an earlier version where
he had not yet found the avenue
654
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:38,880
for the rage or
the voice itself.
655
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,280
Did it get
quite emotional at times?
656
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:49,280
Of course, because you're
serving your best friend
657
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:51,360
who's not there with you.
658
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:53,680
Great, thank you so much.
659
00:36:53,720 --> 00:36:56,280
Thank you, thanks very much.
660
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,960
In 2012, Johnny Depp's starred
661
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,480
in his eighth film with
Tim Burton, Dark Shadows,
662
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,520
alongside Michelle Pfeiffer
663
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,320
and of course,
Helena Bonham Carter.
664
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:14,000
I think it's one of
Tim's finest yet again.
665
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:15,520
I mean, he just keeps
getting better and better
666
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,920
as a filmmaker and as an artist
667
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,840
but I certainly haven't gotten
tired of working with Tim.
668
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,480
I don't think I ever would.
669
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,560
It's always fresh, it's always
new, it's always different.
670
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,960
It feels like the
first time every time.
671
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,440
The film was based on the 1960s.
672
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,560
Gothic television soap
opera of the same name,
673
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,960
which had been one of
his favorites as a child.
674
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,080
Well, it was fair
675
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:42,560
'cause I mean, a lot
of people know it.
676
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,120
I mean, there was,
there was a group of us
677
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,760
like Johnny or Michelle
Pfeiffer and others,
678
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:47,920
but it wasn't.
679
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:49,800
Other countries
didn't know about it.
680
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,440
We just tried to do what
we loved about the show
681
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,240
and not have it be
reliant on anybody
682
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:56,720
knowing what the show was.
683
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:02,640
My twist and Tim's
twist on the vampire
684
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:09,800
and certainly the base
ingredient was Jonathan Fred.
685
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:13,440
He was wonderful in the
role and there was no way
686
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:17,120
to escape the sort of
beauty that he contributed.
687
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,520
There was no political context?
688
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,880
No, political context.
689
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,280
You wanna wear a fake
nose in you're fucking...
690
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:24,600
The same year,
691
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,920
Johnny Depp and his 21
Jump Street co-stars,
692
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,480
Peter DeLuise and Holly Robinson
693
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,560
briefly reprised their
roles in cameo appearances
694
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,680
in the series 2012
feature film adaptation.
695
00:38:35,720 --> 00:38:38,360
I mean, look, we know what
it's like being an undercover.
696
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:39,640
Metro Police Jump
Street division.
697
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,040
Come on, you guys
are Jump Street?
698
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:42,480
- Yeah. - Yeah.
699
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,080
That's funny because we
were actually Jump Street.
700
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:45,560
- What?
- That's crazy.
701
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,800
He also announced
the split from his wife,
702
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:51,600
Vanessa Paradis but the
pair are close friends.
703
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:55,600
Johnny Depp's next
starring role,
704
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:59,600
as Tonto in the Lone Ranger
was not well received
705
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,560
by the public or the critics.
706
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,320
I had a ball.
707
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:09,360
Working with Armie was the
gas, the guy, he's very funny.
708
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:11,680
He's very talented.
709
00:39:11,720 --> 00:39:16,000
He's a really good guy and
we're like a house on fire
710
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:18,440
which I think comes
through on screen.
711
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:19,520
Absolutely, yeah.
712
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,080
What do you think
audiences can expect
713
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,760
from this take on it 'cause there's a
different take on Tonto in particular?
714
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:27,680
Well, the interesting
thing about this particular,
715
00:39:27,720 --> 00:39:30,160
let's say incarnation
of Lone Ranger
716
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,760
is that it's totally
different than the first.
717
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:36,760
It's got this sort of the
mainstay kind of elements
718
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:41,800
but the majority of the
story is very different
719
00:39:43,240 --> 00:39:46,680
and puts Tonto in a place
where he should have never been
720
00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:49,000
in the first place,
which is the sidekick.
721
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,200
Tonto is no longer the sidekick,
722
00:39:51,240 --> 00:39:56,240
he's more of the sort of the
lone ranger's spirit leader
723
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,080
if you want or spirit walker.
724
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,160
The film was a box office bomb
725
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:09,000
that caused Walt Disney Studios
to take a $190 million loss.
726
00:40:13,720 --> 00:40:16,960
In 2012, Johnny was listed
as the highest paid actor
727
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,040
in the Guinness book
of World Records
728
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:22,000
for earning a total of
$75 million in 2011.
729
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,000
That great amount
of money was earned
730
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,080
thanks to his most
financially successful films,
731
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:32,040
Pirates of the Caribbean
and Alice in Wonderland
732
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:37,320
each grossing $3 billion
and $1 billion respectively.
733
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:45,720
In 2015, Johnny took on the
lead role in Black Mass,
734
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:47,600
which earned him
his third nomination
735
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:49,640
for the best actor SAG Award.
736
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:52,480
It comes everything
737
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,840
once you're able to
actually see the character
738
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,720
and we did five or six
tests with my makeup artist
739
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,320
to get it to the point
740
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:11,320
where it was just as
perfect as we can get.
741
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:18,160
Not only the fact that it aids
742
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,760
in bringing that
character to life,
743
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:25,800
it was quite interesting
to see the reactions
744
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,520
from some of his
former associates.
745
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:33,520
Some of them were
quite freaked out.
746
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,720
Really?
747
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,280
There were extras sometimes
748
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,120
and they would be in the scene
749
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:45,120
and afterwards, there
were a bit freaked out.
750
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,240
- A bit close for comfort.
- I think.
751
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,400
It was like seeing Whitey
Bulger 30 years ago.
752
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,480
He plays James Whitey Bulger,
753
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,160
the head of the Winter
Hill gang who dealt drugs
754
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,240
and ran an extortion
racket on the streets
755
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:04,560
of inner city Boston in
the '80s and early '90s
756
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,800
while simultaneously
working as an FBI informant.
757
00:42:09,240 --> 00:42:13,480
It was a conscious
decision to sort of combine
758
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,840
my approach to the character
759
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:21,880
with Scott Cooper's
style of film making.
760
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:29,440
He's really different.
761
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:33,600
This is only his third film.
762
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:37,200
I mean, if you think about
it, it's only his third film
763
00:42:37,240 --> 00:42:42,240
and the guy, he's
just brilliant.
764
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,960
I've been a fan of his
movies, his other two movies.
765
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,000
What's beautiful about
him is he has no fear.
766
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,200
He's not afraid to take chances,
767
00:42:55,240 --> 00:43:00,200
he's not afraid to do a
very large sort of a scene
768
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:01,960
in one shot.
769
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:08,680
That sort of bravery is missing.
770
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,520
We used to have
and people like that
771
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:13,560
who did that.
772
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:16,280
Something different
773
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:17,520
in the film industry then.
774
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:19,840
Yeah, he's got a
radical voice, I think
775
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:23,080
and I'm really
appreciative of him.
776
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:28,920
Anytime that people take notice
of something you've done,
777
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:41,360
although my process
hasn't changed at all.
778
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:45,040
My process is the same
as it has ever been
779
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:49,280
but of course, it's
really nice to hear
780
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,320
that people responded to it.
781
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:54,720
Critics praised his role
782
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,320
and said it was exciting
to see him back on form.
783
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:00,080
In the same year,
784
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:03,280
he also started alongside
Gwyneth Paltrow in Mordecai,
785
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,640
an adaptation from
the novel series.
786
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:10,440
Johnny played Lord Charlie
Mordecai, an art dealer
787
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:13,920
and swindler who races to
recover a stolen painting
788
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,560
rumored to contain a code
that leads to lost gold.
789
00:44:20,720 --> 00:44:22,040
The first time I read it,
790
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:25,920
I thought it could never ever
be a movie, it's too much.
791
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:29,280
In fact, you realize it's
like seven movies in it.
792
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:32,480
You could make at least five
movies from.
793
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:39,640
I am Lord Charlie Mordecai,
794
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:45,880
respected by all who
know me, slightly.
795
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,320
- Excellent shot, sir!
- Man down.
796
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:51,800
I am an art dealer,
an officianado.
797
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:58,080
My wife, Joanna,
my only true love.
798
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,040
I thought I'd see how
you secret agent men
799
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:01,440
run the world.
800
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:03,720
I'm afraid I shall have to
put my foot down, darling.
801
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:04,840
Sorry?
802
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:06,320
With your permission, of course.
803
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:11,320
Also in 2015,
Johnny married Amber Heard,
804
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,320
his co-star from The Rum Diary.
805
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,960
This relationship would go on
to fall apart very publicly
806
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,640
and be the source of
grueling court cases.
807
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:27,920
In 2016, Johnny Depp reprised
the role of the Mad Hatter
808
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,880
in Tim Burton's, Alice
Through the Looking Glass,
809
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:33,520
the sequel to Alice
in Wonderland.
810
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:35,520
The film had been a huge success
811
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,560
which warranted a sequel
which did just as well.
812
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:45,240
It's to be able
to get back into that skin,
813
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:52,080
to be able to explore a little
bit more about the character
814
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:57,120
other layers, essentially.
815
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:02,200
You see the Hatter at his
absolute worst.
816
00:46:14,720 --> 00:46:16,600
Johnny had
also been secretly cast
817
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,680
to play dark wizard,
Gellert Grindelwald
818
00:46:19,720 --> 00:46:21,080
in a cameo appearance
819
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:25,000
in Fantastic Beasts and
Where to Find Them in 2016,
820
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,360
the first installment of a
Fantastic Beasts franchise
821
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,000
which is considered a prequel
822
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,200
to the Wizarding
World of Harry Potter.
823
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,800
His name was not mentioned
in the promotional materials
824
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:38,920
and his cameo was only revealed
825
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:40,120
at the end of the film.
826
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:47,000
In 2017, he also reprised his
role as Captain Jack Sparrow
827
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:49,800
in the fifth installment
of the Pirate series,
828
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:54,000
Pirates of the Caribbean,
Dead Men Tell No Tales.
829
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:56,880
- In the U.
- S, it was less popular with audiences
830
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:58,600
than the previous installments
831
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,480
but had a good box office
return internationally.
832
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,920
Johnny Depp's last
film release of 2017
833
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,000
was the Agatha
Christie adaptation
834
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,480
of Murder On The Orient Express,
835
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:14,200
in which he was part
of an ensemble cast.
836
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:22,880
In 2018, Johnny Depp
starred in City of Lies
837
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:26,120
as Russell Poole,
an LAPD detective
838
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:28,200
who attempts to solve
the murders of rappers,
839
00:47:28,240 --> 00:47:31,560
Tupac Shakur and
the Notorious BIG.
840
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,160
Bet he didn't have Tupac killed.
841
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:36,000
The facts point to
something more here.
842
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:37,520
If we could prove a
connection between cop
843
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,360
and Biggie's murder, it will
not only break the LAPD...
844
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:43,200
It would ruin the city.
845
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:47,000
The film was
originally set for release
846
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:48,680
in September, 2018
847
00:47:48,720 --> 00:47:52,240
but was pulled from release
schedule one month before.
848
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,160
It was later screened
out of competition
849
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,600
at the Noir film
festival in Italy
850
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,440
but has not been
released elsewhere.
851
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:03,280
However, there are now rumors
of a 2021 release date.
852
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,360
Johnny Depp's last
film release of 2018
853
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:11,000
was Fantastic Beasts, The
Crimes of Grindelwald,
854
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:14,120
the sequel to Fantastic
Beasts and Where To Find Them
855
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:16,680
in which he reprised
his role as Grindelwald,
856
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,160
who becomes one of the
main focuses of the plot.
857
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:24,120
Johnny portrayed
photographer, W. Eugene Smith
858
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:27,080
in the independent
film drama, Min am at a
859
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:31,000
which premiered at the
Berlin Film Festival in 2020
860
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:33,560
and was released in early 2021
861
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:36,600
after being delayed due
to the COVID-19 pandemic.
862
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:42,120
I've always had a
strange fascination
863
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:45,080
with W. Eugene Smith.
864
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,240
Initially, the
photographs of course
865
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:52,360
but then when I'd read
a bit about his life
866
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:56,160
and what he'd gone through,
867
00:48:56,200 --> 00:49:00,240
what he experienced,
what he sacrificed
868
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:06,320
to capture those moments,
to capture those photos.
869
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,680
I was also fascinated
by the fact
870
00:49:08,720 --> 00:49:13,720
that he was known
as W. Eugene Smith
871
00:49:15,240 --> 00:49:17,880
and I'd heard the story
that anywhere he would be,
872
00:49:19,240 --> 00:49:22,240
at times curmudgeonly bad mood
873
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:25,240
or whatever it was
going on in his mind
874
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:29,040
and they'd say, "What does
the W stand for, Eugene,"
875
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:34,080
and he'd say, "Wonderful,
Wonderful Eugene Smith."
876
00:49:36,240 --> 00:49:40,560
Then of course, with the
work that he and Eileen did
877
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:44,200
in Min am at a is monumental.
878
00:49:45,720 --> 00:49:50,720
I mean, it was quite a
quite a ride for them,
879
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:54,160
very dangerous, so dedicated.
880
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:03,400
They did not jump ship
881
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:07,680
because between the
actor and a camera,
882
00:50:07,720 --> 00:50:11,320
there's a strange
dance that you do
883
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:15,360
when scenes aren't
particularly blocked out
884
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:20,400
exactly to where he doesn't
know where I'm gonna go,
885
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:24,640
I don't know where
he's gonna go in shots.
886
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:30,240
There's a kind of beauty in the
organic nature of that dance
887
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:37,560
between actor and
operator or the eye,
888
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,360
which has been incredible work.
889
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:46,800
The film follows Eugene Smith,
890
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:49,560
an American photographer
who documented the effects
891
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:51,080
of mercury poisoning
892
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:54,080
on the citizens of
Min am at a, Kumamoto, Japan.
893
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:57,280
You start to learn,
you start to check
894
00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:58,640
and you read about
him a little bit.
895
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:00,320
This is years and years ago,
896
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:03,880
then you work with
photographers.
897
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:08,840
I worked with Mary Ellen Mark
for many years over the years
898
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:13,720
and she had known him
at one of the photo...
899
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,160
- Probably Magnum.
- Magnum.
900
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:19,200
It was Magnum.
901
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:21,760
You find out these
great stories.
902
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:29,440
There was a side to
him that wouldn't care.
903
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:33,800
He just got, I don't care
and he's just moving forward
904
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:39,600
but there was a side of
him, he could be quiet.
905
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:44,200
He could bite and
he could be rough
906
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:50,760
but the deal with, I
think with Eugene Smith,
907
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:53,640
ultimately what I
walked away with,
908
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,840
especially after talking
to other photographers
909
00:51:57,880 --> 00:51:59,240
who'd known him and stuff
910
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:05,040
that he was totally
unpredictable, multifaceted,
911
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,880
quite bitter, quite
curmudgeonly and prickly
912
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:20,080
but that was because
the heart was in there
913
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:21,920
and it was too close
to the surface.
914
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:25,880
It was challenging 'cause
you owe a great deal
915
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:27,760
of responsibility
to these peoples.
916
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,520
Prior to his acting career,
917
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:38,560
Depp was a guitarist and
he's later featured on songs
918
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:42,280
by Oasis, Iggy Pop,
Erasmith and more.
919
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:45,640
He played guitar on the
soundtrack of his film, Chocolat
920
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:48,400
and Once Upon a Time in Mexico
921
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:49,920
and he's appeared
in music videos
922
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:52,160
for Tom Petty and
the Heartbreakers,
923
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:55,600
the Lemonheads, Avril
Lavigne and Paul McCartney.
924
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:00,720
As well, Johnny Depp.
925
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:03,000
Well, he came in
at the end of a song.
926
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:05,560
We went to LA to do this record.
927
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:06,720
The whole band was hanging out
928
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:08,800
and that's where you'd
meet somebody like him
929
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:10,520
and I'd known him from before
930
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:12,800
and just invited
him down the studio.
931
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:16,400
He's a big fan of Joe's and
a bunch of other people too.
932
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:18,120
He's a great
guitar player, isn't he?
933
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:19,080
Is he what?
934
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:19,960
He's a good...
935
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:21,280
He's a great guitar player.
936
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,600
Yeah, you ever seen
the movie, Chocolat?
937
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:27,600
Yeah, well that's
really him playing.
938
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:29,520
In the movies, they can fake it
939
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:34,000
and you can tell when you
watch him play in that movie,
940
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:36,600
he's playing and
that's the real deal.
941
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:41,560
Also, he jammed with us
at the Hollywood Bowl
942
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:46,600
in the last gig
and the last tour.
943
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:50,320
He wanted to play on
Train Kept It Rolling
944
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:54,600
and it's on the DVD and
it's on the deluxe version.
945
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:57,200
You can really get a chance
to hear him cut loose.
946
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:01,720
In 2015, he
formed the super group,
947
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:05,360
Hollywood Vampires with
Alice Cooper and Joe Perry.
948
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:07,920
The band also
includes Bruce Witkin,
949
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:11,440
his friend from the
1980s band, The Kids.
950
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:12,880
Well, it started out right here.
951
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:14,560
It started out here.
952
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:18,520
We did Dark Shadows and I
was in the movie with them
953
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:21,920
and then one night we were
gonna go play the 100 Club.
954
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:23,200
Just my band was gonna go down
955
00:54:23,240 --> 00:54:26,520
and just be a bar band,
no theatrics, nothing.
956
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:29,120
If somebody yells out
Brown Sugar, we'll play it.
957
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:30,800
Back in the USSR, okay.
958
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:34,360
I said, "Johnny, come
down and play with us."
959
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:37,520
He comes down, brings his amp
and he's a good guitar player,
960
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:39,400
really a good guitar player.
961
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:42,000
He started out being a guitar
player, became an actor
962
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:46,280
and then we took
it another step.
963
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:49,560
I said, "What if we paid tribute
964
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:51,880
to all of our dead
drunk friends,
965
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:53,640
all the guys we
used to drink with,"
966
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:57,800
and we had a drinking club
called the Hollywood Vampires.
967
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:01,360
The band made their live debut
968
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:04,920
at the Roxy in Los
Angeles in September, 2015
969
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:09,400
and has since done two world
tours in 2016 and 2018.
970
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:14,920
Their second studio album,
Rise was released in June, 2019
971
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:17,520
and consists mostly
of original material
972
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:19,600
including songs
written by Johnny.
973
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,720
In 2020, Johnny Depp
released a cover
974
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:27,800
of John Lennon's Isolation
with guitarist, Jeff Beck
975
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:30,600
and stated that they would be
releasing more music together
976
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:31,640
in the future.
977
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:34,600
I enjoyed the process.
978
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:38,000
I like making things,
I like finding moments,
979
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:43,040
I like creating moments,
I like the idea of chance.
980
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:47,160
Yeah, I like the process.
981
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:58,960
Johnny Depp has
made a long successful career
982
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,800
for himself in Hollywood,
ultimately becoming
983
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:05,760
one of the most recognizable
names in the industry.
984
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:08,360
I mean, he's such a
down to earth, easygoing,
985
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,000
really nice human being
as well as being gorgeous
986
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:12,040
to look at.
987
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:15,680
According to Johnny himself,
988
00:56:15,720 --> 00:56:18,480
the exciting part
is doing the work,
989
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:20,480
immersing himself
in the character
990
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:23,160
and putting everything
into his performance.
991
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:27,760
Visibility to totally transform
into the role he is playing.
992
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:31,040
Be it a pirate, a man
with scissors for hands
993
00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:33,160
or an old time gangster,
994
00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:36,600
Johnny Depp always leaves
us visibly awestruck
995
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:40,000
knowing that no one else
could done the role he played.
996
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:43,720
Johnny Depp is a proud father,
997
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:47,480
an a claimed actor
all on his own terms.
998
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:50,040
In an industry where
most A-list leading men
999
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:52,960
have chosen to stick to
muscled up superheroes,
1000
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:57,240
gun toting action men or
love struck romantic leads,
1001
00:56:57,240 --> 00:57:01,200
Johnny himself continues
to rule all genres
1002
00:57:01,240 --> 00:57:03,800
succeeding in each and more.
1003
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:12,160
How many characters can Johnny
Depp keep inside himself
1004
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:13,800
and is it safe to do so?
1005
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:18,040
The legacy of Johnny
Depp is sure to continue.
