Johnny Depp’s collapse is almost complete

Fascinating read. The writer has no sympathy for Depp and neither do I. He doesn't seem like an overtly terrible person, just a man child surrounded by yes men. He's spoiled and refuses to take accountability for his own life or the dozens of people he supports financially. This story could end very poorly.

He'd better thank his lucky stars he has the "Fantastic Beasts" franchise, and use the opportunity to show that he can be trusted to show up and do a good job.

Betcha he won't, he'll piss away the opportunity for a comeback the way he's pissed away everything else.

That drawing is actually flattering. He wishes he looked that good.

He reminds me of a couple of my GenX relatives. They're not bad people, but they still insist they're fucking cool and badass even if they're bald, bloated, and incapable of fixing the messes in their lives.

He's totally batshit at this point. Hunter Thompson and Brando were the 'only people who understand me'. His lawyer stays up all night with him, drinking and drugging, and has a special dedicated phone line installed in his own home so Depp can reach him to blab, 24/7. Insane. $650 million gone and down the drain.

His family are a bunch of leeches too. He won't control them either.

This article would be comical if it were a screenplay, but its real life.

The article is tragically sad. He’s a walking dead man surrounded by leeches. Many movies will be made about it after his death.

[quote]"My son had to hear about how his old man lost all his money from kids at school, that's not right," says Depp. He rubs his eyes with his tobacco-stained hands. He says one of the proudest moments of his life was when Jack said he'd started a band and Depp asked what they were called.

[quote]"The kid says ‘Clown Boner.' " Depp smiles proudly. "We don't need a paternity test. That's my kid."

That sums it all up right there.

I can't even work up the snark. Hasn't he got even one percent of self awareness left? That man aint right in the head and has probably never been. When everybody in your daily life is a paid ponce, time to recalibrate. I'm glad I wasn't a personal fan of his more than "that film is good/not". One thing for sure, Kate Moss knows how to hold on to her coins, despite "lifestyle". And she has genuine friends who aren't afraid of opprobrium if they call her out on any sad sack behaviour. Who'd have thought it, eh?

Johnny Depp was once considered The Coolest Man in the World. Tragic.

Glorified rabble

Ugh, his spawn sounds just as insufferable

If he's so broke, why the fuck is he renting a mansion in London, and have as much support staff on the payroll as he does. Can't he cook his own fucking meals?!? I never really liked him -- I thought just dull suburban dads thought he was cool -- and I have absolutely no sympathy for him. He has not ever shown he is worthy of it.

A fool and his money are easily parted.

[quote]"So are you here to hear the truth?" asks Depp as Russell brings him a glass of vintage red wine. "It's full of betrayal."

Oh for the love of god

I agree with r1. He's the most overrated actor, and has been using/addicted to drugs and alcohol for decades. I am surprised he is still alive, and he loves to come off as though he's basically royalty in Europe when he's just a broke actor who has never had any self control, been told no, and should be thanking his lucky stars he's made it that far on something since it was not talent or acting ability.

It's tragic and sad. Hollywood did him in.

Boy is he dumb.

You can take the boy out of the trailer park...

No, R16, Hollywood gave helped him to develop his talent for acting and gave him primo roles with which to show it off, and gave him hundreds of millions of dollars for doing so, and kept giving him roles even after he had years and years of flops. Hollywood has been extraordinarily kind to him, even indulgent!

It's not Hollywood's fault that the man threw away his money and developed terrible work habits, Depp did that to himself. There's nobody to blame for his sad downfall but Depp himself.

The problem is, he aimed to be "tragic and poetic" years ago...it was cool and romantic then. He looked great, so he could get away w it. Somewhere, he actually started believing his own hype. And now, the poetry is all gone.

Reminds me of Elvis's last days. Staying up all night, surrounded by leeches, drinking, and doing drugs. Only people around are the one's he pays.

R16, Hollywood did not do this. Depp did it himself.

Some people take great succe$$ and totally screw it up- he's one of them. Boring really. Not much to feel sorry for except the people he screws up while he's screwing up.

He drinks vodka in the mornings and cries? That's a complete collapse indeed.

Proof once again that Hollywood is just carnival trash with better teeth.

^That's debatable.

R21... I was thinking that, too... very similar to Elvis.

Nobody thinks that he might ....commit suicide?

I don't think it would occur to him, r28.

He's drinking and doing drugs, staying up all night. He is killing himself.

Fuck Johnny Depp. Total hosebag!

[Quote] We are all punch-drunk in each other's company, but some are just plain drunk. Maybe it is the booze and hash, but Depp seems happy to just have someone to hang out with, even though we have exhausted the ins and outs of his case. Someone mentions they can't stand Oasis. This is enough of an opening for Depp to grab an acoustic guitar and spend 20 minutes tuning it, before squawking out a few notes of "Wonderwall." My head pounds, but you can tell the guitar brings him comfort, taking him back to his younger days when he was a male ingénue and not a punchline: bankrupt, isolated and one more mistake away from being blackballed from his industry.

Eh, this passage made me root for JD. The writer thinks that JD will be blackballed because of his drunken ways even though he's already part of the 'Fantastic Beasts' franchise.

Never a JD fan and never thought he was cute except for 'A Nightmare On Elm Street' but I'm rooting for him now.

R32, if he continues to be drunk and drugged like this he will be blacklisted cause nobody will insure him and actors need insurance.

Why did Depp decide to give such kind of interview?

It doesn't help that he has a touch of the "Madonnas" where his accent is some sort of attempt at British/European.

I know people here hate Oprah but a piece of advice she gave the Williams sisters early on in their career is: Always sign your own checks. If the checks require your signature you will always know what is going out.

r34 the interviewer notes that Depp didn't pass it by or get approval from Robin Baum, his longtime publicist. That's how it got done. Otherwise it wouldn't have happened.

[quote]According to the suit, Depp kept a sound engineer on the payroll so he could feed him lines through an earpiece while filming. This Depp does not deny, saying the sounds fed to him made him act with just his eyes.

[quote]"I've got bagpipes, a baby crying and bombs going off," says Depp. "It creates a truth. Some of my biggest heroes were in silent film," Depp tells me, lighting another cigarette. "It had to be behind the eyes. And my feeling is, that if there's no truth behind the eyes, doesn't matter what the f-cking words are."

omfg.

[quote]I know people here hate Oprah

I can understand finding her insufferable, but to "hate" her is so ludicrous.

Depp's son looks insufferable. And also he seems to be a tiny person.

Good riddance. He is a pervert

He is freak and deviant

He reminds me of Keith Richards.

Sad read.

However if he sells his properties he'll be fine I gather, so his problems aren't insurmountable.

Petty's "Into the Great Wide Open Video" was remarkably prophetic.

I did not know Whiskey Tango was code for white trash.

You can take the boy out of the trailer park...

[quote]I know people here hate Oprah

I can understand finding her insufferable, but to "hate" her is so ludicrous.

I always liked him. I still do.

He was a white trash kid with looks who lucked into an acting career. He was fucked up from the beginning and having lots of money doesn't do anything to remedy that, in fact it tends to make people even more fucked up. I never was a fan of his. He seems like a truly awful human being. And if his role models were Hunter Thompson and Marlon Brando...well, I don't see how he's managed to live THIS long.

[quote]For the next 15 minutes, Depp tries to figure out how to open the gates to his mansion fortress. He clicks buttons and pushes the fence, but nothing budges. He is a lost boy who won't find his way home before dark. I finally tell him I can shimmy over the fence. I clamber over and jump down. Through the bars we say good night.

Wow.

R37, but why did he decide to bypass his publicist like this and do this interview? How on Earth he decided it was a good idea? This interview is horrible.

R44, selling his properties just gives him more money to quickly fritter away. He ain't changing.

Spoiled, alkie, with zero talent left. Also kind of racist. Don Rickles fan WTF. He is more like Michael Jackson than anyone else...on a different planet. He’ll be dead soon.

Jack's parents aren't tall, no surprise he's tiny R40.

[quote]Also kind of racist.

How so?

Depp needs to grow up regarding his work and his money. If he wants to act like a 15 year old in other areas of his life, so be it. But the conundrum is, it’s difficult, at best, to get your shit together when you’re drunk and high. I’ve tried it many times, and let me assure you, that there is an invisible line that is crossed (or in this case, snorted), that just makes it impossible to party, and keep track of your expenses, cash, and no way are you able to work at your optimal capacity, either, even if your work requires that you are only needed for 3 to 6 months out of the year.

Look, I love drinking. It makes me numb out shit that I just find to be too overwhelming. I understand. And it feels better than facing shit head on, in more ways than one. But I just cannot justify it. I lose money, work opportunities, my health goes downhill. Fuck no. No fucking way.

I’m not going to lose my life, and everything I worked for, because I’m a fucking boozehound. I know I’ll be dead soon enough. No one gets out alive. That’s OK. It will be on my terms, not on the terms of my addictions. And no way am I ending up on the streets either. Being broke is rough.

Get your shit together, Johnny. That cannon has your name on it too, but it doesn’t have to be shot with you in it, anytime soon.

R57, because he likes Don Rickles jokes from four-hundred years ago, jokes which would be offensive today.

Let's make it all about R58.

Never saw the appeal of this douche, or his allure to critics. Someone could film Depp taking a huge dump on the toilet, and critics would call it a masterpiece of cinema.

It’s about alcoholism and addiction. He has both, as do I. But I choose not to drink or use, so that I can function properly in the society in which I live. I have no choice, other than to succumb to it, and die and early, grotesque death.

Unless we die, or find a way to live on another planet, literally, we all must do the same fucking thing. Day in, day out. Breathe, eat, sleep, piss, and shit. Unless we inherit insane amounts of money, we must work. We all pay taxes. This is the way the ball bounces. Either you’re in, or you’re out, on the streets out, or dead. Tell me this isn’t true.

I don’t give a fuck what you think, r60. I understand why this shit happens, and I also have accepted that I cannot live a decent life with a bottle glued to my mouth, and a straw stuck in my nose.

I’m a recovered alcoholic the problem with Depo, Houston, Jackson, Prince, etc is that their is no bottom. Just sycophants who have a vested interest in keeping you in a stupor. Like Winehouse I think Depp has brain damage due to long term addiction. I was watching No Reservations & Bourdain was the same glorifying addiction and behaviour that he should have outgrown 40!years before. It’s pathetic

He would've aged beautifully had he taken care of himself.

I pity his kids, he sounds like a horrible role model.

he has looked and sounded like shit for yrs...

[quote]Depp has a great affinity for Sparrow, whose persona is borrowed from Keith Richards, another Depp idol. He's protective of the character and claims he battled with Disney screenwriters repeatedly. "Why must you have these fucking heinous subplots?" asks Depp. "It's convoluted. There is not a fucking soul that wants to see Captain Jack Sparrow sad."

He's right about that.

It's not about YOU, r58 / r62. Shut the fuck up.

"I don’t give a fuck what you think, [R60]. I understand why this shit happens, and I also have accepted that I cannot live a decent life with a bottle glued to my mouth, and a straw stuck in my nose."

R62, unless you're a sea turtle or ocean mammal, I don't give a fuck what you have to say about bottles and straws, either. Start your own thread bloviating about how you've struggled and overcome the most common substance abuse problems, just like about half the posters on Datalounge, myself included. This is a thread about Johnny Depp, not Johnny Datalounger.

Girls! Girls! Stop the squabbling and get back to analyzing Johnny.

Sad that celeb offspring almost never look as good as their parent(s). Even when the resemblance is obvious, the kid or kids just don’t have that “it” factor. Even when both parents are beautiful. And the offspring rarely have good personalities or any genuine talents, either.

You know who *should* be dead by now but isn’t? Charlie Sheen. If Charlie Sheen is still alive 5+ years after all that HIV/Winning!/Tiger Blood bullshit, I suppose JD could live awhile yet.

R71, his daughter is very pretty.

I’ll take Depp over Sheen any fucking day of the week.

Ugh great read but toxic. Anyone else want to pour him a hot steamy bath then take him out for a walk and some fresh air?

His son looks more like he could be Jack Black's son than Johnny Depp's.

[quote]Ugh great read but toxic. Anyone else want to pour him a hot steamy bath then take him out for a walk and some fresh air?

The walk should be during sunlight so that the sun kills off whatever germs the bath didn't get.

Ugh great read but toxic. Anyone else want to pou r him a hot steamy bath then take him out for a walk and some fresh air?

^ Not r73

He needs to live. I will hate seeing his poster next to 2 pac and Biggie at Hot Topic and Spencers , and people saying he is a LEGEND rip.

we await photos of his embalmed body with concern, on the covers of the gossip rags..

I can totally understand Amber Heard now.

I was in a similar situation- wealthy and wonderful man sweeps me off my feet, and then he decided we should both retire, even though my salary was 1/3rd of his and I didn’t have $25M in the bank.

He drank himself to death, and it sucked. She saw it coming and walked away for her sanity.

Fuck this. Now I’m sad.

He then turns around and walks back into his gilded prison and pushes open the heavy door. After a moment, it slams shut behind him.

Yikes! A lesson in how not to end an otherwise interesting article. Where is the copy editor?

What’s Amber Heard been up to? She really is beautiful

He really is self-indulgent. Imagine thinking someone wants to spend 3 nights listening to your bullshit.

During my teens and 20’s I was a night owl. Didn’t really wake up until after sunset. It gradually changed in my ealy 30’s. By 35 I suddenly realized I get tired and pass out at midnight (if not an hour or two earlier) every night. I can’t comprehend being in my 50’s and staying up all night long for three nights in a row drinking wine and doing drugs. His internal clock must be completely fucked. No wonder he looks like death warmed over.

He was friends with a singer/actress for years who tried to help him get his life in order many times, and she finally gave up. And she's no quitter.

R87, if you mean Paradis then she was more than his friend lol. She was his partner and mother of his children.

Was this interview taken this year? I got the impression it was done in 2016 but they published it only now.

R86, your post reminded me of an old quote of his. I remember reading when he was with Vanessa and his kids were young.

I'm seeing a slight parallel to mel Gibson. When they were married they were actually fairly well functioning. Then they divorce, take up with a younger woman and everything goes downhill.

He seems like such a useless douche. He knows he doesn't have a great personality so he surrounds himself with other douchey characters and drugs. I bet Doug Stanhope was pissed that he didn't get his name dropped.

Whatever happens, the guy did some brilliant work.

Who could've known that the indie darling who played Ed Wood would turn out to be the biggest Hollywood cliché there ever was.

The Rollingstone article had an error saying that he hadn't sold any properties. Depp sold his 5 condos in the Eastern Columbia building in downtown LA.

^^ Rolling Stone

R94, that's why his fall from grace is so pathetic. He used to be original actor with original and cool projects , not part of Hollywood world and he used to be seen as the coolest actor and guy with coolest image ever. Not anymore.

R95, he sold his properties in 2017. This interview was obviously done earlier than 2017 but for some reason it's published only now.

Yeah, he was still fat.

[quote]What’s Amber Heard been up to?

She's been in a very on and very off relationship with Elon Musk. It's currently off again.

Based on his decision making skills (or lack of) as described in the interview, could it have taken over a year to get thie copy approved for a final sign of from him?

^ the and off

I wonder why people can be mean to celebrities even when they don't know that celebrity personally. But if that person gets sick or worse, passes away, the same crowd will offer thoughts and words extolling that same celebrity?

It's not like he's done anything important in the last deacde

Does anyone know what this thing Johnny said about Harvey means?

[quote]"He was a bully," says Depp. "Have you seen his wife? It's not a wide range. It's not like he went, ‘I must go to the Poconos to find some hairy-backed bitch.' "

R85 Well, in all fairness, someone did want to listen to all his bullshit for 3 days.

He was getting paid well to do so.

Closet case

I didn't get the Harvey line either. Was it vaguely anti-Semitic?

R100, she is in Aquaman, due for release this year.

GMA spoke about him this morning. It was reported that Depp spend $30,000 on wine monthly. Supposed he was insulted... it was $50,000, under what he actually spent. Crazeee!

It would be if he said the Catskills.

Drugs.

*supposedly*

I didn't get the comment about his wife, either. It sounds like he's saying Harvey, who was a "goliath Shrek thing" didn't date "hairy-backed bitches" who were on his level as far as looks go. But "it's not a wide range" doesn't make any sense at all.

write his obituary, he seems on a path to …. the end.

he partys way hard, at that age, not good.

how dare he squander them good looks and many breaks he got in the biz, for guzzling wine and smokin shit...

Although I cannot completely decipher what the anecdote about Weinstein's wife meant, I am almost certain the Depp was complimenting Georgina and he was expressing shock that HW could ever get a woman of that level.

depp's mind is pickled...he cant express himself. is drunk/stoned 24/7...…...not even sad.

“Reminds me of Elvis's last days. Staying up all night, surrounded by leeches, drinking, and doing drugs. Only people around are the one's he pays.”

You got that only from the author only saying the exact same thing? Nice work, Geraldo(s), at [R21] and [27]...

“If his current life isn't a perfect copy of Elvis Presley's last days, it is a decent facsimile.”

R88, no I wasn't talking about his girlfriend. Someone else.

Classic narcissist. Everyone but me is at fault. I'm a victim. I've been betrayed. No one understands me. I do this because I'm hurting inside. The world revolves around me, and I am the world. His fans are welcome to him.

R119, about who were you talking about?

I don't see him as a narcissist. Very kind and generous to even extended family He's just a sad drunk. But an interesting one to watch as he slowly kills himself.

He’s not kind with his family, he’s just lazily throws credit cards at them. He has no one to blame but himself when his sister spent $7 million and he didn’t sell the French chateau because his daughter threw a tantrum. That’s not kindness, that’s lack of attention and behaviour typical of a drug addiction.

I remember that Letterman show when Dave was asking him about the backlash he got after his comments about George W. Bush...he responded by saying when things got to be too much, he would get on his yacht and sail to his island...all right now, he has the means to get away from stressful situations, but that didn't sound right to me. Maybe I was jealous.

I could never understand the furor over him. Bland looks, nothing body, blank expression. Always thought he was the smartest and coolest guy in the room, so everything he does is genius. Not bad in several roles, including Ed Wood but way overrated in many others.

My favorite Depp film is probably one of his weakest, THE NINTH GATE... it's totally entertaining to me.

Me too R125. I never saw the appeal, maybe I watched one of his movies. It's like he tries too hard on the "coolness" factor.

Johnny Depp should be on that DL thread about celebrities who are considered good looking but have NO sex appeal.

R126, that's Roman Polanski's movie.

He's a boring person, boring and one dimensional overrated actor, and your typical Hollywood actor who got started young, became rich, wasted lots of money, and let fame and his ego go to his head.

I do remember reading here on datalounge that some queens here claimed that Depp is gay, closeted, and likes black men who he pays for sex and being discreet, and is a bottom. Is there any truth to this?

R130, I heard he hasn’t had sex in many, many years. Allegedly, he cannot get it up, and just gave up. Never had sex with Amber, at least not sexual intercourse. I have no idea if this is true, but this is what I’ve heard.

Also, I’ve heard that he does pay, but to watch others have sex. He sits in the room, drinking and smoking, while watching others fuck. Weird, I know, but this is Depp we’re discussing, so it’s not totally out there.

I’ve known several men who got very involved in swinging, as a result of becoming impotent. Contrary to popular belief, ED meds do not work on everyone, ESPECIALLY if they do drugs, drink, and smoke. Anyhow, it’s not that uncommon for men to get into swinging after ED. At least they get to participate sexually, in one way or another, and I’d assume pegging and bottoming for other men wouldn’t be completely out of the question.

[QUOTE]Also, I’ve heard that he does pay, but to watch others have sex. He sits in the room, drinking and smoking, while watching others fuck. Weird, I know, but this is Depp we’re discussing, so it’s not totally out there.

There’s nothing weird about that. I’m a voyeur so I’d do the same thing if I had the money.

R132. I agree. It actually isn’t weird. Everyone has their thing, and there’s nothing wrong with voyeurism.

So there are black market 'ludes out there, or no?

Way to bury the lede.

I read the article. He's even more pathetic and wasted than I thought.

R134, ask Bill Cosby.

[quote]My favorite Depp film is probably one of his weakest, THE NINTH GATE... it's totally entertaining to me.

It's not a weak film at all. I wonder why you'd even think it is? And I agree with you that it's probably my favorite from Johnny Depp. I remember seeing it in a theater with my friends and noticing I'm starting to not find Depp that hot anymore. Although obviously he still was quite a hottie, at least compared to his current state. Obviously his hotness doesn't really mean anything in the film. His role could've been played by other actors easily.

[quote][R126], that's Roman Polanski's movie.

Yes it is, and that's why the film is close to a masterpiece. I refused to watch his movies for a long time after finding out him *truly* being into pre-teen and early teens girls. Then one night The Ghost Writer was on the tv, and I started watching it. It's a political thriller starring Ewan McGregor, playing a ghostwriter writing memoirs for a character (Pierce Brosnan) based very loosely on Tony Blair. Now, that film is practically a Hitchcockian perfection, and I loved it.

Polanski did have a traumatizing childhood as a Jew kid in Poland during the Nazi occupation. Both of his parents were killed in concentration camps, and Roman had to live under a false identity in a Catholic family or families. From Wikipedia: "As he roamed the countryside trying to survive in a Poland now occupied by German troops, he witnessed many horrors, such as being "forced to take part in a cruel and sadistic game in which German soldiers took shots at him for target practice."" He was born in 1933, so he was a small kid during all this. He was only 6 when he was expelled from school for being Jewish. No wonder the war messed him up but then again not all Jews who survived the Nazis ended up becoming hebephiles or ephebophiles, which Polanski most probably is. His traumatic past is probably one of the main reasons he's not considered to be a criminal in many European countries.

I continue to have conflicted feelings about Polanski. It's impossible to forget he's into young girls but at the same time you can't forget how messed up his childhood was. Is that enough of an explanation to justify watching his films? Probably not.

I agree with R132, I have bisexual and gay male friends who are vouyers and they enjoy watching their husband/partner have sex with other people, or filming themselves and their partner having sex with others. It is not my thing but it's all done with consenting adults, it is not put online, and not the type with the shady hidden cameras like you would see on Xtube and amateur porn sites where the person is being filmed having sex or nude without their consent and then it goes online.

JD wasted so much time trying to be the coolest guy - all that time and money just for an image.

R99 you meant PHAT!

Fixed for you!

The past few years he's been slurring his words during public appearances and when he is speaking without a script he seems to forget what he's about to say. I just assumed he was drunk off his ass but I'm beginning to think he's a full-blown junkie.

I can't believe a man in his 50's would still try to emulate someone like Keith Richards. He should have grown out of that phase by the age of 30. I mean look at the guy, he must take half an hour just to put on all of those ridiculous accessories like the necklaces and the rings and the bracelets and the safety pin earrings and the bandanas and the scarves and on and on and on. Grow the fuck up, Johnny.

Keith Richards seems more sane and sober.

R134 There is a black market for everything unavailable in this country,

He could be getting wet brain.

What’s wet Brian?

R145

Your comment is a perfect example!

[quote]But "it's not a wide range" doesn't make any sense at all.

It’s not like Johnny himself has a wide range either! Tiny gamines Winona, Kate and Vanessa are exactly the same type.

And Amber isn’t that much different. But, to paraphrase Kanye, most straight guys would do anything for a blonde dyke.

R142, Keith has a stable marriage.

wet brain... brain damage, pickled with booze.

R141 I agree with you completely.

It's not a secret he's an alcoholic, addicted to coke, and heroin.

I'm sure that in time, every bit of Depp will be gone, and his death will be a mystery... even to me.

His inventory of expenditure is Citizen Kane like.

I'd like to read an article about how Angelina Jolie and her children really live.

r58 is a narcissist and a drama queen. Just shut up, bitch!

Keith Richards has been married to Patti Hansen for decades and raised two daughters with her. By all accounts, they lead a pretty normal homelife, as much as you can when you're one of the biggest rock stars in the world. She suffered from bladder cancer some years ago and they weathered it together.

Depp is just an asshole who's never thought of anyone save for himself.

He never really left the Viper Room, did he?

Depp was always this person but got away with it when he was young and hot. Not so easy when you get old. He's not a bad guy, just dealing with lots of trauma and deprivation from his childhood and formative years. Sometimes it seems that ONLY scarred people get into showbusiness. He at least has the decency to take care of his kids, and want to provide for his extended family. I hope he can pull himself together.

Painful to look at or think about.

R155, so Keith has a normal family life, stable and more sober than Depp, though he is a true rock star and older. So what's the excuse for Johnny to fuck up his personal life, his career and his health like this? He is pathetic.

Never understood his appeal, he seemed like a try hard moron and on to of it was a shit actor.

There was some excellent thread about him on DL some years ago, on his Viper Room days, mobster connection, creep Brando friendship and the mysterious missing of Anthony Fox.

I find him absolutely off putting.

R160, why was his friendship with Brando creepy? Brando was an idol for lots of actors.

Richards would be dead by now if he was still up to his old antics. He obviously got his shit together, and moved on.

Johnny can do the same. Nothing wrong with straightening shit out, and enjoying the last 20 to 40 years of your life.

I’d love to see Johnny get his life together, and win an Academy Award, and say a big FUCK U to everyone who left him for dead. If anyone could pull it off, he could.

He’d have no trouble finding a partner who actually loves him, to settle down with. But no one wants to take care of a drunken mess. It’s just too much work.

I’m still rooting for him.

R154, fuck off, clown.

R162, you honestly think that this guy is capable of living 20 years more? Please....This guy left the mother of his children for young starlet (way younger than him) and their marriage ended in violence, he can't manage his finances and thinks the boozing and drugging himself in his 50s is a great idea.

Yeah, Keith Richards married Patti Hansen when he was 40, so Richards had stopped being Keith Richards by then, settled down (sort of) and sobered up (sort of). 50-year-old Johnny needs to quit modeling himself on someone who was misbehaving in his 20s/30s.

This is probably me being overly empathic, but as embarrassing as that interview was, I actually came away pitying him. I think he's very depressed and isolated. That doesn't excuse him being an asshole, but it is a sad existence.

Funny really, that Keanu has held on to his career and looks in spite of not having quite as much talent as Depp. All the edgy young indie actors used to list Depp as an influence...now they probably just cringe.

R163, the real story is that Paradis left Depp long before the Amber fiasco.

By the time Depp decided to pursue Heard, Paradis was already in a relationship with another man, and had been, for quite some time.

Brando was an absolute creep, just like Marilyn Manson and Hunter Thompson. I am sure Depp is a pervert too.

The same R86. In my teens I could stay up all night. I wasn't allowed to, but I could. When I was in my early 20s, it was easy to hang out at a friend's place until 11pm or midnight before we went out and I'd be in bed between 4am and 6am. 7am? I had been up way too late. FF about 12 years and I have younger siblings visiting. We go out to dinner, then drinks, come home at around 10pm and I am DONE and they're like - well, the third part of our evening is beginning! See you in the morning. A Johnny Depp kind of evening or successive evenings just feels gross. On the rare - very very rare - occasion 2am passes and I am still up talking and drinking, I feel absolutely disgusting. I remember I used to read about the occasional mid-life to senior celebrity - Susan Sarandan, say, or Alan Rickman, "talking with friends" at some place in NYC until 4am, in their sixties. I'd be - HOW CAN THEY EVEN DO THAT!!

Anyone remember this crazy Johnny thread a few years ago? I remember spending an entire morning at work reading this thing.

R166, what a load of BS. Depp himself admitted he was cheating on Vanessa and went after Amber while he still was with Vanessa.

Wasn't Depp the guy who said that he felt being raped when people were taking photos of him? He is such an asshole, he finally gets what he deserves.

Doesn't he ever feel sick? Or is he blessed with supernaturally good health? I couldn't live like him and feel well. Don't envy that part of his life.

R170, I am 100% right about what I shared. Depp’s PR spun it around to look like that. They had an open relationship, and she fell for someone else. All true.

She was out long before he was.

R173, you are 100% wrong. Also you are some crazy Depp fan apparently. Depp spun around his PR to make sure he looked like a cheater in public, sure. He and Vanessa never had an open relationships, Depp was just a jerk who was cheating around on his partner. But you try to put it on Vanessa somehow!

Lol, Depp has a great PR - it made him look like a cheater, then it made him look like a domestic abuser who beat his new wife, then this PR made him lose millions of $ and stuck in legal proceedings, now this PR makes him look like an alcoholic druggie and loser. When he ODs and is found in the pool of his own urine or vomit, it probably will be just Depp's wonderful PR.

his asshole is super floppy from gals tearin it up with their fists

he is old drunken bottom ho

We've had some trenchant no-punches held threads on Depp here at the DL over the years, and every one of them predicted accurately how he would play out. It is a universal truth that highly attractive young people can get away with drug abuse, alcoholism, absurd pretensions and mental illness. It all gets written off by those who want to fuck them as the behaviour of a sensitive, misunderstood rebel / artist. When they reach their mid fifties, the looks are bloated and leathery, those who want to fuck them fall away, and you are left looking at a drunk/high/depressed middle-aged asshole.

Will he OD or it will be health failure?

How mighty have fallen!

My guess is pancriatic cancer r178 considering his last pics

I already added him to my dead pool list.

Lung cancer. He's a chimney

He just seems sort of... slow. That he honestly still thinks being a sensitive fucked up poet warrior who flirts with the dark nature of mankind while riding a motorcycle is cool. He's too dumb to realize it's not cute in your 50s. He's also inordinately obsessed with playing Barbies with his kid. Like it's the ultimate measure of "realness". Nobody cares about your kid or barbies, Johnny. Get a clue.

[quote]That he honestly still thinks being a sensitive fucked up poet warrior who flirts with the dark nature of mankind

That was just his PR image to deflect what he was really doing with the mobster crowd that was running the Viper room and that most likely was responsible for the disappearance of his business partner Anthony Fox.

I’ll just drop this here...

My name is Johnny Depp and I kill people.

[quote]He just seems sort of... slow.

If people believe that Depp is some savvy gangland type who is into shady dealings that lead to murder, I'm not one to dissuade that notion but by reading that Rolling Stone piece I have realized that he has all the intellect and brain power as a toilet bowl of diarrhea. He's like those multi-millionaire lottery winners who blow it all in under 2 years. He surrounded himself with yes people and it has led him to thinking that he could continue living beyond his means, that he's a rockstar on the level of Alice Cooper and that he's some soulful auteur. And his daughter is the real life version of Veruca Salt. But both parents are to blame for that.

"And now, the poetry is all gone."

All? Gone....

[quote]he has all the intellect and brain power as a toilet bowl of diarrhea

I honestly never saw his appeal. He always seemed empty, like there was nothing going on up there. His acting was mediocre to actually bad and the image with which he sold himself was phony and disingenuous. I don't want to come across arrogant, but with Depp I always felt he was insulting my intelligence with what he was selling.

R177 Sounds like the Angelina Jolie story.

I was just thinking today that sometimes the "media powers that be" deflect and spin to the point that people just don't seem to see what is right in front of their eyes.

Michael Jackson's nose was falling of his face right in front of us.

Jolie is going full Karen Carpenter on us and multiple layers of tunics and caftans can't hide it anymore.

Hollywood has been overrun by the spawn of celebrities from days gone by, and they're mostly talentless hacks.

Somehow the veil's been pulled back from Depp and it's ok for it to be open season.

I wonder why that finally happened with him, but somehow it's not kosher to publish articles about the world being on Angelina Jolie death watch.

He is so incredibly stupid.

[quote]Somehow the veil's been pulled back from Depp and it's ok for it to be open season.

[quote]I wonder why that finally happened with him, but somehow it's not kosher to publish articles about the world being on Angelina Jolie death watch.

He was the one who simply let this interviewer into his mansion for 72 hours and gave full access.

Yeah, he's so enamored with himself that he thought it would be a good idea. He even says "This could be your Pulitzer". Haahha, what a tool.

I think the author could tell this was the end for Depp if he didn't get good psychiatric help and the author wasn't going to hide it. Either he gets help, and if he doesn't the author can't be accused of hiding the truth. Like Jolie and others, they have their fans that do want to believe what they see either their own eyes. When people talk about it after their dead they get accused of trying to make money off the dead when they can't defend themselves. So Depp must be pretty bad off the RS allowed thus article to be published.

What I don't get is why his daughter, his sister, his ex do not insist on him going to rehab. Why? Don't they care?

There was a BI about the daughter a couple of years ago, that she was heavy into drugs in the modeling scene (why she is so skinny) and dating not the most reputable older men and that her father should be there helping her out (she was like 15, 16 at the time) but he was too wasted out on drugs himself. Of course, the kids might have tried to intervene to no avail.

Yeah, yeah, Depp could turn it all around, clean himself up, find someone to love him, get serious about his profession, etc., etc.

But that's just a fantasy. Depp lacks the inner resources, the strength and the imagination to ever have such a scenario play out. He'd have to become a whole other person, and that will never happen.

A lot of Hollywoodites are borderline retarded--I always chalked it up to the fact that many of them barely finished high school. Education teaches thinking and logic skills. All you have to do is watch an or in this case read an interview.

Its like listening to an old teenager in a lot of cases.

And for charlatans lurking, easy marks

[quote]What I don't get is why his daughter, his sister, his ex do not insist on him going to rehab. Why? Don't they care?

What, you’re not going to place any responsibility on his son, too? Only the females in his life are expected to deal with his shit?

As anyone with an addict in their family will tell you, it’s effectively impossible to make someone get help for their addiction unless they themselves want to get help. The way that usually happens is when the addict starts losing things or relationships and realizes there are negative consequences to the drug use.

Depp has already burned several bridges relationship-wise and has only spiraled farther into the abyss. His wealth and the fact that he’s still able to get cast in good roles (WHY did JK Rowling throw him such a big bone?!) means he doesn’t suffer the same consequences (job loss, unemployment, poverty, homelessness, hunger) that are often the impetus that drives other addicts into rehab.

[quote]He's like those multi-millionaire lottery winners who blow it all in under 2 years.

Exactly-- White trash stoner kid from Kentucky learns 3 chords on a guitar and moves to LA to be a rock star, but winds up delivering pizza and weed to make ends meet. Nicolas Cage suggests that he should try acting, and 650 million dollars later is a broke middle aged alcoholic without much of a future.

There's only one way this story ends, with or without Nicolas Cage. If anything, the fame and the money has kept him alive and/or out of prison a few decades longer than scheduled.

...sounds like most of America

He needs to be locked away in rehab for at least a year to save his life. At the moment he's in a worse state than Jonathan Rhys Meyers and that's saying something.

Like r162 I'd like to see him come back and do some good work. And yes, this I know is possible because in recovery you see a lot of freakin miracles.

This is why Hollywood keeps so many publicists in business. Without the flak feeding press word by word interviews, the celeb's essential shallowness and ignorance would be publicly displayed. Go back about 20 years when Bruce Willis and Demi Moore were everywhere. Two of the most ignorant people on the planet, but Vanity Fair would print puff pieces making them appear thoughtful just because it would sell magazines. Same wtih Tom Cruise. There's nothing to him, but for a time a cold bitch like Pat Kingsley could rule all media because people wanted to know about him.

R199, his son is the youngest child, he is still 16 I think, so of course I expect more adult people to have a talk with him about rehab. His sister, daughter and ex partner are old enough for such conversation.

[quote]What I don't get is why his daughter, his sister, his ex do not insist on him going to rehab.

His daughter throws tantrums and gets him to buy her sofas from the Kardashian set. She has no other power over him than to get him to buy her stuff.

His sister Christi is accused to leeching off him to the tune of millions. She charged her daughter's wedding costs to Johnny, and in the interview someone quotes her as saying 'He's my brother. It's his money. So it's my money.' She deals with all the boring stuff like signing cheques that her brother is too drunk and stoned to bother with.

The ex wife tried to get him to sober up and he refused and she left him. Her work is done, it's not her role anymore.

Everything Ive read about Depps entire family is toxic AF. His father absent, his mother a psycho abuser, his sister seems much like mommy dearest, and his kids seem to use him as a never-empty wallet. His exs seemed fine (except for Heard), but were much younger than him, thus just as immature/uneducated and unable to help him deal with life.

R206, then Depp is done. He is too weak willed to change himself. And too old. True there are stories of past alcoholics and drug addicts changing their ways, but they all did it when they were much younger. Robert Downey Jr. got sober and clean around 38 years old. Depp relapsed in his late 40-50s. He has no future.

Agree completely with r202, unfortunately. This isn't a case of 'simple late life alcoholism'. This guy has serious mental health issues and needs to be put away under care for several months. Does he have anyone around who cares and can help him?

I'd say his long time agent at UTA but he dumped her too a few years ago. Anyone?

Why did he dump his long time agent, R209?

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Other way around, R210. His decline started years ago, but he was still protected by the industry until his agent quit. High powered professional agents and managers and publicists do not want a stoned drunk mumbling and staggering around at professional events like Depp has been for the past few years. It makes them look bad. He was carried up the red carpet by his bodyguard at one film festival. He forgot Kenneth Branagh - the DIRECTOR's - name in a live interview for Orient Express, because he was visibly drunk. He is Norman Maine, at this point.

That was his spin, R211. She did not want to work with him any longer.

"He was carried up the red carpet by his bodyguard at one film festival. "

When did it happen?

One of many scenes of a drunk Johnny being held up by bodyguard at events

More

He looks like a corpse in this drawing. Damn.

It’s impossible to force someone into rehab. Even if he had a publicist or lifelong BFF or spouse or sibling who was close to him and had nothing but his best interests at heart, they couldn’t just make a phone call and have men with butterfly nets show up and truck him out to a locked rehab facility for a year.

And even if that DID happen, he wouldn’t get sober if he didn’t want to. I have a distant relative who got drunk and high out of his mind and had a big police chase going the wrong way on the highway. He had no priors and was from a wealthy white family so his lawyers got him sentenced to 18 months at a rehab facility instead of prison. He had access to more drugs inside that place than he’d ever had before, and relapsed within two days of his release. He probably would have been better off in prison.

You’d think those high-end inpatient rehab facilities in remote rural locations would be able to keep drugs out but as long as the patients have money, they’re always going to have sellers sniffing around and bribable employees who’ll look the other way.

It’s just a matter of time before Depp kicks off. As has been observed, it’s hard to fathom why any studios are still willing to insure him on set, esp after seeing r215’s pic.

R83, what’s wrong with that? I can’t figure it out!

R16 We heard you the first 4 times you expressed sympathy for the "tragedy" befalling this loser.

The President has immigrant kids in cages, crying for their mothers. But a lucky SOB with minimal talent squanders millions and millions, and he's a victim? No. He's an asshole.

R43, haha Depp would love to be Keith Richards, but Keith has talent, and can actually play guitar and sing, and knows the world does not revolve around him, and does not use hard drugs anymore but probably still uses soft drugs like cannabis/hash.

Every single 80s and 90s heartthrob from our childhood are frauds. Except keanu reeves.

[quote]Robert Downey Jr. got sober and clean around 38 years old.

BWAAAHAHAHAHAAA!

I think he really went off the rails when he hooked up with Angelina while shooting The Tourist. Two smack addicts with a history of wild behaviour making a movie together? Both their relationships started going south during filming. Pitt hates Depp now with the heat of a billion suns. Pretty sure a bunch of blind items popped up re Depp and Jolie after Depp and Paradis broke up.

^ Right. Depp's behavior is all Angelina's fault.

R223, Downey is sober and clean since 2003. He was 38 then. 15 years later and look at him, he looks good for his age, has good career, has family. Depp on the other hand lost everything.

R224, where is the proof that Pitt hates Depp?

r226, no he isn't.

R228, he is.

How soon will Depp die? Bets?

10 months

Why the fuck would Jolie hook up with Depp? She already had Pitt, who was still better looking even as a drunken mess too.

Eye roll, indeed.

What floored me about this gloriously PR-free article was the references to Depp being completely oblivious to his situation; the writer mentions that Depp basically takes no ownership of his current situation, and then later on looks entirely startled when asked a question about his money: "I pay people to do all that shit for me." I'm paraphrasing, of course, but this level of idiocy is a true revelation of how Hollywood's dearest are completely disconnected from how life actually operates.

However, what pissed me off the MOST was his admitting to using an earpiece to convey emotion. Bitch, you're an ACTOR. You're getting paid squillions of dollars to do your job, and yet you think that being fed lines in order to drum up some kind of behind-the-eyes feeling is perfectly justifiable? This is Acting 101, Junior High level, and this trashy junkie midget can't pat his head and rub his stomach at the same time? I am satisfied to witness his entire selfish, solipsistic world publicly evaporate.

Johnny Depp is for sure sunk unless he dumps Manatt Phelps. They lose everything at trial or on appeal. He should get some real lawyers like Gibson Dunn or Quinn Emmanuel.

Except he's not really an actor, is he? He never had decent training or spent time on stage work. He couldn't memorise a short scene, let alone a major role.

R226 obviously has never seen RDJ without the right lighting and stage make up.

RDJ is not sober and the BIs were that Depp and Jolie really didn't get along, but I can't remember why.

The National Enquirer's cover story this week is on Depp. Docs cite liver failure and give him months to live.

He and Heather should date

R233, it's also like this with famous musicians. Pattie Boyd said when she was married to that rapist and wife beater Eric Clapton how she would ask him about their finances, money, etc. and Eric would just claim how his shady manager took care of everything and would give him money to buy drugs, etc. She got out fast while she still could.

R222, are you surprised at this or something? Most people know this as soon as they learn how fame, the cult of celebrity, and Hollywood work.

R237, RJD is sober, and very evidently so. He is one of few ex-alcoholics, drug addicts who made it. Also he doesn't need to be carried to premieres of his movies and doesn't forget names of his directors during interviews.

So he uses an earpiece after all. It's infuriating. Cause he gets paid millions but he can't remember a few lines!!!! Blah!

R242, RD Jr. sober? Yeah maybe if you somehow consider someone still using drugs to be "sober" which is laughable.

Yeah, R243, when asked for acting tips, I've heard many actors say that knowing your lines is their #1 piece of advice. That just makes me think there's too many actors that don't bother.

To the girls arguing over RDJ's sobriety, or lack thereof, what proof do either of you have?

So is he a cokehead too? They barely hid it.

If RDJ is back on drugs, at least he can still function as a human being. So...whatever.

Didn't RDJ say in an interview that his wife told him that if he ever did drugs again, she would be out the door with no second chances and that she was dead serious about it? He's still married, isn't he?

R240, you're right. I read "Wonderful Tonight" (in fact, I own a copy of the damn thing) and it was just stunning how the overrated bullshit artist known as Eric Clapton lived his life, and was treated, like an overgrown child. He had no clue about bank accounts, finances, nothing....his manager took care of all his expenses, and if he wanted some pocket money, he'd get some. If I recall correctly, Pattie Boyd mentioned finding a cheque worth many thousands of pounds made out to Clapton's name--stuffed into some kind of desk drawer--and he sort of waved his hand and said "Nah, don't bother cashing it...I don't want to give the bank my money."

Are they all retarded?

R247, it's been known for a long time he is addicted to both coke and heroin, and went between those two addictions, and got addicted to alcohol as well. But all of this is very common among hard drug addicts who are addicted to multiple drugs. He does not look good and has not for decades, and I'm surprised that he did not overdose like River Phoenix and Heath Ledger did.

R250, yes a lot of them are, especially during the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s since they were too busy using drugs and having sex with lots of underage girls who were barely teenagers. Add in the fact that a lot of them were very narcisscistic and could not take care of themselves, and had record company executives, managers, music promoters, etc. who via legal contracts managed to take a very large percentage of money. Also the part in that book was exactly what I was thinking of when I wrote my post.

Quoted from the article in Rolling Stone at OP's link. Nobody should be surprised about any of this. Depp has always been an actual narcissist who believes that the film industry both in the United States and in other countries revolves completely around him. Add in the fact that he's never been told no, and at one time had way too much money he spent foolishly and is addicted to multiple drugs.

Unfortunately for Depp, TMG filed a thermo-nuclear complaint last summer. The lawsuit described the actor as a spoiled brat with no impulse control. Kump noted TMG had never been sued by any of its other clients and that "Depp lived an ultra-extravagant lifestyle that often knowingly cost Depp in excess of $2 million a month to maintain, which he simply could not afford."

He'll never go to rehab. Never ever. He thinks people still like the poet warrior motorcycle thumb ring persona is fabulous. He doesn't think there's anything wrong with him. Money is bourgeois in his bohemian pickled pea brain.

Tragic. Agree with others who have posted above that this is reminiscent of others like Elvis. George Michael also comes to mind, just with not near the same level of talent. Surrounded by leeches and paid lackeys who will not say "No" because they are all on the payroll. Meanwhile, JD is rapidly circling the drain.

His role model is Keith Richards??? He is definitely the exception and not the rule to surviving a life of self-indulgent excess. Many younger and stronger have croaked doing far less for a far shorter period of time. Keith also has Stones money, probably pretty hard to run out of that.

Hope he gets his shit together before it's too late.

Keith Richards is lucky that Mick Jagger got the Stones business affairs in order. If he'd been left to his own devices he would have gone under in the '70s.

He had cheekbones. He never had any talent. He never once played A Normal Guy believably. He was a male Darryl Hannah (Mermaid, Robot, Ghost, Mutant, never a believable human woman).

Elvis died with money. Depp squandered his fortune & is going to die in debt.

I suspect he had a booze withdrawal induced stroke or two and hasn't been right since. Also, fame is a huge buffer against reality, weirdos get really weird and even the best intentioned and seemingly down to earth progressive celebrities and stunningly out of touch with reality.

I think to find out what's really going on with him, we'd have to find out why Vanessa cashed out when she did.

And I've posted this before here, but we have all these horrible new people who don't know anything: my coke dealer was RDJ's coke dealer through 2012. I left LA in 2012. If the guy is still alive ("former" FBI), he's very likely still (one of) RDJ's main connection(s).

Brando also wore an earpiece as he couldn't be bothered to learn his lines so Johnny is just following in the steps of one of his heroes.

Elvis didn't die with money. His affairs we're a mess.

Come to think of it, Elvis, Brando, and Depp all had fucked up mothers and fucked up relationships with their mothers. And they all took a turn for the worse when their fucked up mothers died.

r256 great post. Who else was a client of your dealer - any names we'd recognize.

Johnny Debt

R256, he was cheating on Vanessa that's most likely why she left.

All this talking of cheating doesn't make sense. As much as the man smokes, drinks and takes drugs isn't it unlikely he's had an erection since the first Pirate movie?

R263 not necessarily. I saw this topic on one of the forums for former drug addicts, and some of them were still able to get hard. Coming is a problem though.

op, if there's pre-obituary , is there also such as thing as post-obituary?

His son is allegedly quite ill at the moment.

Huh. Did the kid try to kill himself over embarrassment from the RS article?

R266, that's awful news. I hope his kid get well soon.

Hi! I am gay and from a non-English speaking country. I am chatting with someone in the film industry now (long story) and he told me that Johnny Depp is a mean drunk and nobody likes him (surprise!). He also has a lot of much more spectacular gossip that will interest you, so I will share if you want!

R266, his son? I thought it was rumored Depp has liver failure and it's too late for a transplant?

Go ahead, GGG....

R254, sadly that's probably not going to happen for Depp, the damage has been done with decades of alcohol and hard drug addiction, and he's way too used to being a celebrity and spending money he does not have like crazy. I remember when Robin Williams said how when he divorced one of his wives how he was then "poor and broke" yet he lived in a mansion and had more money than most people in the world do.

R258, his affairs may have been a mess, but he still left a fortune for Lisa Marie to piss away.

Okay, he said that Nicolas Cage is the biggest coke user of all actors. He is into very young (but legal) male and female prostitutes. Aaron Taylor-Johnson used to be nice, but isn't anymore. Wesley Snipes is gay. Vin Diesel is gay and out. Tom Hanks is bi or gay. He has two houses next to eachother - one with wife and kids, the other with boyfriend(s). Christian Bale is also gay or bi - he has male or female assistants who feed him cocaine or give him blowjobs when he's stressed out. Cruise and Travolta are also gay, but that is not news anymore. Brad Pitt and Ryan Reynolds are the only straight guys in Hollywood. Lana Turner was into being whipped. Harrison Ford biggest pothead (no news). Shia LaBEouf and Keanu an Affleck are supposed to be nice?! Same with the cast of doctor who. The one that shocked me was that Cary Grant was supposed to be into "little boys"...

I will try to get more out of him!

ALso he said Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz are supposed to be nice and lovely. Julia was addicted to crack, but not heroin.

My friend Julie said the same thing.

R274 More out of who? Also, it's been well known for awhile that Cage is gay, closeted, and married women just for appearances.

Brad Pitt heterosexual/straight? LMAO He was Thom Racina's houseboy, or kept boytoy, he looked like a hustler on Santa Monica when he was younger and just starting out-not sexy or hot at all, and he met up with other bisexual men who were in porn for Sean Cody and making money on the side hustling.

Vin Diesel gay and out? LMAO he's supposedly "married" or with "girlfriends". He's not out as bi or gay at all.

R274- What about Ryan Gosling? I thought he was straight?

[quote]Brad Pitt and Ryan Reynolds are the only straight guys in Hollywood.

Brad Pitt and Ryan Reynolds straight? LOL

R278 Out in the industry not to public

Maybe he's out in his private life? And Brad Pitt can still be straight even though he fucked some guy 25 years ago. He just heard that stuff. He also said he heard the Cary Grant stuff a couple of times.

River Phoenix was also gay according to him.

Ryan Gosling is gay his wife looks like a tranny and he dated lesbian Rachel McAdams

R277 - spill all you know, honey!

[quote]Maybe he's out in his private life? And Brad Pitt can still be straight even though he fucked some guy 25 years ago.

LMAO, riiiiiiiiiight. Tell me the one about the 3 pigs next!

Unless an actor or celebrity is actually out, like out publically so everyone knows they are bisexual or gay, they're closeted.

R269, please tell us more?

R283, Rachel is married to a male screenwriter and just had a baby.

Rachel's not a lesbian, she's just Canadian.

r288, by definition, 'Canadian' is just another term for 'homosexual'. I mean, you have to specify if you're talking about a heterosexual Canadian simply because there are so few of them. Really, as far as anyone knows, there may actually be zero heterosexual Canadians. I've never seen one in the wild. Or even on TV.

So Ryan Gosling then must be gay. Good, we finally have that established.

Tell me about it, r258.

Amber and Vito.

I don't think Depp wants to get clean, drugs are his life, his philosophy, what he thinks makes him cool.

His son, Jack, is reportedly very ill and in hospital. Valerie skipped a premiere to be with him.

What is his son ill with? Sorry to hear that.

“Serious haalth problems” for a teenager usually means either suicide attempt or drug overdose, no?

The only good films he was ever in were Cry Baby and Dead Man. What a douche.

R287 Rachel is married to a male screenwriter and just had a baby.

That means nothing especially in Hollywood

R275 ALso he said Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz are supposed to be nice and lovely. Julia was addicted to crack, but not heroin.

Cameron Diaz is nice but Julia Roberts is a rude c*nt

R274 Brad Pitt and Ryan Reynolds are the only straight guys in Hollywood.

Brad Pitt is gay

Ryan Reynolds is gay

Brad Pitt is outed at least 3 times: by Thom Racina, by a porn star and by Sham Ibrahim.

Ryan Reynolds is a queerbaiting closet case like Andrew Garfield and his ugly wife is a lesbian and her marriage to ScarHo was a lavender marriage

R274 -- Tom Cruise, Wesley Snipes, and Nicholas Cage? Jesus, my head just exploded!

Julia Roberts was addicted to heroin, not crack. This is well known among real “insiders”.

Everyone in Hollywood is not gay, and this insider is full of shit.

Not everyone in Hollywood is gay but 90% of A-List actors (male and female) are gay

R298 that’s what I thought, but who really knows? About ten years ago their daughter got really sick and was in the hospital in London. Everyone knew she was suffering from an E. Coil infection. I find it strange there’s no more information about their son.

R304 Then tell us more real insider gossip please!!

[quote]I suspect he had a booze withdrawal induced stroke or two and hasn't been right since.

Datalounge. Today's truth, tomorrow's headlines.

[quote]Julia Roberts is a rude c*nt

Baby gurl, you don't need to do that here.

When I first heard his kid was 'seriously ill' I thought - he's self harmed. And I do not say that with glee or malice. Depp is a fucktard, a self-pitying booze hound spilling all his mess to Rolling Stone and lurching around Europe with his tacky mid-life crisis cock rock group. What young teenager would not be ashamed and mortified of a father like that.

I doubt the kid is ashamed. Johnny is Jack Sparrow!

A seven year old would still find that make-believe 'cool', R311. The son is about 16. Old enough to be ashamed of the reality.

R269, if nobody likes Depp in industry why does it still keep on giving him jobs and movie roles?

R305, if you are not GGG who is FOS, please name some names. Or give hints.

Can he make a career comeback? I mean a role of magic bleached pineapple in Fantastic Beast is not it.

To make a career comeback you actually need to be able to act!

- RDJ

And some people can't act to save their lives.

I find it interesting, and yet not surprising that even Tim Burton does not put Depp in his more recent films.

They used to be close, like to the point where they lived next door to each other in insanely expensive estates/small castles in France, and for awhile Burton would put Depp in pretty much every film he had made.

Did Depp have an affair with Helena Bonham Carter, and that's why she divorced Tim?

No, R318. Unless Helena Bonham Carter is the name of a drink.

Johnny’s mistress is booze, and his side pieces are heroin and coke.

I think you guys don’t realize the damage done to your cocks after years and years of boozing and drugging. You can’t get hard without pills, period, end of. And if you do, it doesn’t mean that you have much sensation, because it doesn’t have the same sensation as when you were much younger. It takes forever to orgasm. Some men don’t even respond to pills.

You just cannot age, smoke, and party like that, without your penis suffering from the side effects of that lifestyle.

Helena Bonham Carter is quite quirky, I can imagine him going for her. Her aristocratic background would also be another attraction.

She dresses quite similarly to Johnny as well.

I think Johnny is/was quite good, especially in his early films like Edward Scissorhands and Ed Wood.

It's too bad he let himself go like this.

He will be primed for a comeback in two years. By then he will have had just the right amount of time to self-reflect in relative penury.

Re: Elvis' fortune

Presley's affairs were in quite a mess when he died. Priscilla stepped in a guardian of her daughter's affairs and really whipped the estate into shape, i.e. establishing Graceland as a tour destination and shepherding Elvis' musical legacy. The $100 million fortune that Lisa Marie has squandered was mostly due to her mother.

Are you on the right thread, r325?

It was mentioned upthread that Elvis had died with money intact, which was not quite the case.

AJ Benza's podcast today, "Dirty Laundry," talks about the Depp situation. He's got some good advice.

R318, good point. What happened with Burton and Depp's partnership? The last time Depp was in Tim's movie was in 2012 and movie was a flop.

Tim Burton and HBC separated cause Burton was having affairs.

The comparison to Elvis is apples and oranges. Elvis had a steady stream of record sales as well as licensing and whatever money Graceland brings in. He died broke, but the money kept on rolling in. Graceland was a money pit, but as far as I know that was his only property.

What's Depp got, $40 a month in 23 Jump Street residuals?

Burton produced Alive Through the Looking Glass which was released in 2016. They still work together.

Johnny D always struck me as someone that would have gotten sucked in to the whole Manson family.

He appears stupid, addicted and easily swayed.

R331, you are one stupid retard. He receives quarterly payments from Disney for the Pirates movies-DVD sales and merchandise. He may blow the money, but he does get it.

Aww Lily-Rose has joined us. Shouldn't you be in Paris at your brother's bedside singing 'Frère Jacques' or something?

R335 you made me giggle... Frère Jacques, what an annoying childish song.

Maybe mother and daugther can canon sing it to the sickling dismay ?

Huh?

R324, maybe, if he's alive in two years?

Vanessa got married yesterday.

[quote]Johnny D always struck me as someone that would have gotten sucked in to the whole Manson family.

Depp was a pen-pal of Leslie Van Houten and visited her in jail. Inevitably.

Does he collect art from convicted serial killers too?

Johnny = gay

Winona Ryder,Kate Moss, Vanessa Paradis = gay

Amber Heard = gay (not bisexual)

Vanessa got married? Funny that she and Depp were together for years and had two kids but never tied the knot. I remember Depp saying something silly like, oh I don't want her to have to give up her last name because Paradis sounds so much better than Depp.

What a lame excuse.

There was a time back in the 80's after Sherilyn, Jennifer, Winnona etc. when people drove around L.A. with bumper stickers that read, Honk if you are engaged to Johnny Depp!

R340, don't forget how he is friends with Damien Echols and the other two guys who murdered those kids. They took an Alford plea, which does not exonerate them or make them innocent, and they got away with murder.

[quote]Johnny D always struck me as someone that would have gotten sucked in to the whole Manson family.

True, John Waters also is like this. He was so obsessed with Manson that he actually went to the trials, and he owns dirt from underneath the crawlspace of John Wayne Gacey's house.

So, The Struggle might be real?

Fucked up song. The artist -Scroobius Pip vs Dan Le Sac - has some very uplifting and interesting songs, but this is just darkness. I think I found it here on another thread a couple of years ago, probably about Depp.

Dammit, the songwriter just picked Depp out of a list because he’s not as much of a famewhore.

Enty had a recent blind item claiming that Depp keeps a bandana tied around his upper arm at all times so he’s always got a vein ready.

Happy for Vanessa, hope her new husband will be better than trashbag Depp.

her cock is really covered in scabs?

not shocked.

not at all.

boils on his asshole, is a veritable petri dish.

Benchtrit made a really cool little film called Asphalte a few years ago - he's talented and cute. Vanessa traded WAY up.

It's sad that actress Marie Trintignant, the mother of Benchetrit's son Jules, was beaten to death by her musician boyfriend. The killer is already out of jail. Samuel Benchetrit has written a book about Marie's death.

Vanessa's new husband is better looking and more talented than Depp. Good for her.

Depp was such a moron to let such woman go. Vanessa was good for him.

R348, link?

See number 331 at link, r356.

What happened to the Depp bitchery and gossip? Have the Fraus taken over yet another thread?

Is nothing sacred?

He is being sued again, by crew member this time.

I saw that, R359. For punch a crew member, right?

I'm sure it's not his fault, though! Quick, someone help him find someone else to blame!

*punching

R360, yeah. I think it will end bad for Depp. All of it. His reputation is ruined and not existent. There's no way he'll make a comeback at this age.

[quote]This blind item, about an alkie actor who constantly talks about killing himself, definitely seems to be about Depp:

[quote]This franchise actor has had his share of ups and downs. Right now… its the downs.

[quote]He is an alcoholic and a drug addict. His money problems and legal problems and relationship problems and management problems and health problems and substance abuse problems are all now converging in an overwhelming way. It’s like he is sword fighting multiple opponents at once.

So, how is he holding up? Not well!

He is very depressed, which only makes him want to drink more, which makes him even more depressed. He keeps talking about [offing himself] but since he’s usually drunk when he says it, it’s hard to tell if it’s him or the alcohol talking.

He always thought that drinking and drugging would be fun forever, he's basically a very primitive and dumb person.

Somebody on one of the very interesting Depp threads on DL said 'There is nothing going on up there'. He's just a simpleton druggie from Kentucky.

He's not a happy camper, folks.

He’s such an asshole. I met Amber Heard (in the Royal Court book shop, weirdly) just after the divorce and she was so sweet but seemed so broken.

Amber Heard deserved whatever she got and more, the dumb whore.

Does Johnny Depp have a service dog?

I've posted before, but I know Johnny through my job- and so did my brother, who was in a different field and did some custom work on one of his houses. He is a sweet, generous man. Whatever issues he has, I do hope he can straighten out his life.

R369, you’re correct. He is a decent guy, but terribly fucked up. I wish him well.

Poor dude.

R370, decent guy who beats his wife and is on booze and drugs? Do you know the meaning of the word "decent"?

R371, when I came across Depp, this was not the case. It was a while back, but the guy wasn’t a shitty human being. He was actually very nice, and genuinely concerned about the wellbeing of others in his life.

I recognize that he has problems, but he was a decent man at one time.

R372, you said "he is a decent guy", not "he was a decent guy". Also "he has problems" lmao! You call that just "problems"?

R373 Can you accept that Johnny Depp is profoundly wounded? And isn't intentionally setting out to fuck people over and be the devil? Even people who are real assholes, they do so out of ignorance. Utter, profound ignorance. Everyone is trying to find relief and stability. Some people sink very, very low, out of ignorance, to find what they think will bring security. And relief form inner torment.

closet kills

R374, so...poor Johnny unintentionally beats up woman and does drugs in his 50s?

I still find him compelling and I do hope he makes a few more good films before he dies.

Johnny and his former lesbian beard Kate Moss

Johnny and another lesbian beard Winona

This is the real Winona Ryder

I know Kate Moss is "model bisexual", but I didn't think she's a lesbian. I mean it's not as if she hasn't got proof of being with quite a few fellas, is it? I mean they all seem a bit "fey" , but fellas they are!

So did Winona have the Patti Smith thing going on, which was to want to both look like and have sex with the guys in the band, or was she closeting herself by famously having sex with all alternative rock musicians?

R382, she is just promiscuous.

This is why perpetual victims get to make life miserable for everyone around them. We're all supposed to "understand their pain" and be accepting of any kind of sick, selfish, abusive behavior they dish out.

Agreed, r384. Also it’s crazy how many ppl on here think nothing of his history of violent abuse and assault or say Amber Heard had it coming, or whatever. There was also a blind item about how on Depp’s recent trip to ...I don’t recall if it was Berlin or Eastern Europe, but he requested that underage girls be procured for him to rape. And here people are on this thread hoping he’ll pull himself together for the sake of his own kids, who are older than some of his trafficked sex slaves.

The man was attractive and charismatic for a couple decades but he was never a good person. Even if someone on here did some gardening on one of his estates once upon a time and that person didn’t happen to be treated like shit, it doesn’t make him a good guy. Newsflash: people can actually be nice 99% of the time but if the other 1% they’re raping 15 year olds or cold-clocking their wives or running up drug debts and setting up other people for the crime then that makes them bad people. JFC. It’s a shame that Depp had a shitty childhood and turned to drink and drugs to manage his pain and has been unable to ever turn his life around but he has had countless more chances than the average person gets and now his time is just about up.

Now Johnny is being vilified based on blinds? Good try.

I think Depp is a disaster, but I doubt that blind item is true if it does refer to him. After decades of drug and alcohol abuse, I doubt his libido or his dick are healthy enough to assault anybody.

Eh, good poont r387. He looks like a walking cadaver these days so yeah, his dick probably doesn’t work very well. I still maintain that he’s objectively a shitty person.

[quote]Johnny D always struck me as someone that would have gotten sucked in to the whole Manson family. He appears stupid, addicted and easily swayed.

I can see this, too. In addition to the parallels posters have noted between Depp and Elvis, et al., I think he is remarkably similar to Tom Cruise in many respects. Cruise is in up to his eyeballs in the cult of Scientology. Based on what I've read about him his life is consumed with Scientology activity and obsession much like Depp's life is dominated drugs and booze.

I'm sure the state of Tom Cruise's finances is just fine and he's famous for his anti-drug stance (even psychiatric drugs as they are forbidden by Scientology) and clean living. But he has given millions and millions to the cult, blathers about his "religion" in word salads that make about as much sense as Depp's meanderings. He is surrounded by people on Scientology's payroll who cannot say no to him and enable his detachment from reality. There have even been reports of him striking underlings ( but not wives). And he does sound quite dumb.

R382 she closeting herself by famously having sex with all alternative rock musicians

R370 when was this? In the early through mid 1980s?

My connection with Johnny was around 2005-2012.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Things come in threes, so the cycle of celeb suicides is now complete (the first was the lead singer of Linkin Park). So it won't be a suicide.

Everyone should watch Arizona Dream from 1993.

Enjoy it for a time back when Depp wasn't pathetic and Dunaway was still hireable.

R391, I’m R370. Not sure if R392 was attempting to answer in my stead, or answering for him/herself, but Johnny & I ran in the same circles during two different times.

We ran in a circle where we were all getting pretty fucked up in the late 80s, early 90s. I got sober right before River Phoenix died at the club. After River died, people in that group either got sober, or got deeper into partying. I didn’t see JD for years, because he left town not long after.

Years later, JD started coming back to the States. He was hanging out with the people who made it out sober, from that original circle. He had his shit together, more so than ever before, and was in a good place.

That’s all I’m going to say.

R390, did you get your ass kicked regularly at school? I hope so. You’re annoying as fuck, and deserve a good beating.

You’re one of the biggest cunts I’ve ever seen on DL. You think you know something about these people, yet you know nothing, you fat, simpleton, twat.

The gays were clutching their pearls sober.

R397 = angry bully queen

Fuckwit R397 is all over DL threatening to close down threads, blocking people and screeching at everyone who dares to gossip (on a gossip board - LOL) that they don't "know" what the real lives of celebs are like.

Seek help for your serious mental health issues, R397. In the mean time, DL is not the right place for you, dear. Find another outlet for your pent up bitterness and hate.

R400, I’ve not threatened one, not one thread or person with closing down threads. You have the wrong person.

But some people on this board are going after kids. And you know what? That’s pretty shitty. I don’t care whose kids they are. Going after children is sinking as low as it gets, and I’m not sure why people here think that it’s OK to do so.

Apparently Depp was brought out as a surprise for the Fantastic Beasts panel at ComicCon while Amber Heard was backstage. Pretty irresponsible from whoever let that shit happen

They were an hour apart in the same large hall and never saw each other.

Did he come out on stage using a walker, R402? Or, was his security/body guards half carrying him, like they are usually?

The blond hair he's sporting makes him look worse than he did in the last set of photos posted. That's all Amber's fault, eh? When she left, she absconded with all of the food in all of his houses and his ability to order more, but left behind her department store hair bleaching kit?

LOL

He was dressed and acted in character for a new movie you idiot.

R404 Yes, it is possible that Johnny Depp is very sick, but, no, he was not using a walker and Amber was never in harm's way.

It's Amber's fault I'm not eating. She's the one to blame for my decades of drug and alcohol abuse. I know I haven't even seen her in months, but it's still her fault I can't act like a grown-ass man in control of my own life.

Did Valerie or any of Johnny's other girlfriends complain of any abuse? I never heard anything, although I don't follow his personal life much.

I can see him losing his temper with some young cunt.

During that comic con appearance, Heard was always within arm's reach of 6'4" uberman Momoa. Kinda wish Depp had tried something. It would have been like a Warmer Brothers cartoon. Momoa would have hammer punched him on the head and hammered him halfway through the stage.

( The crowd cheers wildly.)

I can think of better reasons to stay within arm's reach of Momoa.

R408 Nope. Depp had a clean record until he very foolishly married his rebound girlfriend. Heard, with accusations of assault in her past, is the only one complaining.

Obviously Depp's alcoholism is getting the best of him but since Heard opted for the law firm of TMZ and Associates no one really knows what happened behind closed doors. I'm willing to give Depp the benefit of the doubt. Depp looks bad right now but Heard is hitting a false note with me as well as many others.

Thanks R411.

R407 = Johnny Depp Troll.

It's in the past R407. Johnny Depp has not tried to cry on the public's shoulder but Heard has a rare disorder where she is fine one moment and then bursts into to tears when a TMZ camera come's into her line of vision. There is no term for it, no diagnosis and no treatment. Tragic, hope she can find a support group or something.

Try not to worry about Amber R407, she wouldn't spend ten seconds talking to you if it didn't result in face time and because you are not wealthy and cannot further her career. Amber has plenty of money of her own, plenty of rich friends and has media on her side. She'll be just fine.

Let's worry about women living in poverty who can't escape their abusers. You know, people with actual problems.

You are welcome R408 and R412.

Amber lives next to my friend, and the girl loves her (as she calls it) coconuts. The neighborhood wants her evicted for all the parties that she and her roommates have.

Wish Depp had tried something, oh puh-leaze R409.

No, the crowd wouldn't cheer wildly it would just reinforce Heard's image as a rich, privileged actress doing the faux victim routine once again. If Heard thought she could benefit by Momoa under the bus she would.

So Heard is a booby groper and a bad neighbor R415? Hope someone get's footage of her in action with their phone.

r417 coconuts is slang for cocaine.

r416, Heard wouldn't dare with Momoa- Lisa Bonet would hex her ass to filth.

Sorry about that R418.

So Heard is a coke head and a bad neighbor? Hope someone get's footage of her in action with their phone.

Interesting. So who was aggressive on the night in question? The obnoxious coke snorter or the strange but harmless falling down drunk? Hmmmm.

Lisa is quite beautiful. She is still quite beautiful. Heard is more of a "amazing what they can do with hair and makeup" type.

Ahahahaha. The Depp fangirls are out in force I see.

R413, try not to worry too much about Johnny. He wouldn't so much as look at you if you were dying on the sidewalk right in front of him. In fact, I'll bet he wouldn't even help a very good friend who was dying on the sidewalk (outside his own restaurant)........oh wait, that really happened.

R407 and R422 Johnny has male fans too. Or at least he did in his younger days, not sure about now.

I don't expect Johnny Depp to look at me, I honestly don't think I would take him as a gift. I just have always really liked him as an actor, he doesn't seem to be one to go into a panic if he wasn't the center of attention and he seems like an odd but likeable guy.

I'm not the one who rehashed Amber Heard and her unsuccessful fame-grab. Just saying I am going to give Depp the benefit of the doubt given that his reputation does not proceed him the way Heard's reputation proceeds her, that Heard's nanosecond in the victimized female spotlight is over and that Heard is more than well-equipped to deal with her own problems.

R413 Depp hasn't tried to cry on the public's shoulder?

I guess you didn't read the Rolling Stone article. Equal parts arrogance, delusion, and crying for the waaaaambulance. Furthermore, blaming his emaciated appearance on his ex is the very definition of crying on the audience's shoulder. He needs to take a page from the Brad Pitt playbook and give a big meal culpa.

BTW, are you a social media manager for team Depp?

You're not coming across as being very objective.

Was it Depp who use to trash hotel rooms and set them on fire? Leave them totaled?

Depp was also accused of attempting to attack a crew member on one of his recent films.

R424 And you don't sound you have an axe to grind with a man you don't even know or like you sit up at night crying over some rich, fame-hungry rhymes with witch at all! I just love YOUR sense of objectivity!

Depp probably wouldn't have done the Rolling Stone thing if he wasn't in 'Fantastic Beasts'. Didn't sound like he crying to the public, he just sounded like a mess. And why wouldn't he have the urge to try and explain himself or to do what he can to not ruin the film's chances at the box office? Who in his position wouldn't feel that way? That's human nature. (You take no pleasure in that the story in question only made Depp look worse? None at all?)

The hotel room thing happened once and I don't believe there was a fire set, but whatever happened I believe Depp took care of whatever damage he caused and that was very long time ago. Depp does not go around destroying hotel rooms.

As far as Depp attacking a crew member? The director of the film said that there was "no story here" and, again, we have..."victim"...who is after monetary "damages". This would be the first report of Depp ever acting this way on a set, the director denies it happened and Depp's "victim" is probably literally banking on Depp handing over money to make this go away. I cannot imagine drunk, scrawny Johnny Depp being a huge threat to anyone and I don't recall any mention of hospital records where this crew member is concerned.

I don't know if you have noticed but Depp's reputation has taken a hit and he is kind of a target right now. I don't know if you noticed this either - but we live in a country where if people can sue someone with some depth to their pockets, regardless if they really have a reason to sue, they will go for it.

Again, I'm giving Depp the benefit of the doubt. You feel like he is what the media is making out to be and I feel that he simply got on the wrong side of people who have some sway in "the business".

I agree that Depp messed up his own life, his health and his finances. He has had lawyers dump him , he has got people suing him - and he has no one else to blame but himself. But there are revered celebrities out there who are much worse than Depp, who are rotten people, but they are in their prime, they're bankable and have a team on their side.

I find Depp's decline very sad. Not a child being abused until they die sad. Not people living in poor countries not having access to clean drinking water sad. More like Elvis sad. Whitney Houston sad. Where you just stand back and go, "Oh my God. What went so wrong here?"

Let's not peer into the moneyed world of Hollywood and create vulnerable little victims where there really aren't any. Let Amber continue to enjoy her money and her husband shopping and going "forward with love" where Depp is concerned and let the crew member in question continue to make the wish list that is going to come true once he gets his settlement check.

Also, take comfort in the fact that are a whole bunch of Johnny-haters out there who agree with you. Stop worrying so much about me.

Nothing to see here really. Except Depp's terrible self-destruction.

r420, Friend Neighbor texted me earlier today that AH was partying til 6 am and at 1:30 pm earlier today was entertaining topless with red cowboy boots on. Alas, unlike the bitches here on DL, Friend Neighbor is too classy to film or take pics. I've worked with her, and she can turn on the charm and charisma when she wants. She's very professional on set (at least on the big budget stuff).

R420 Seriously. Aare you serious?? Or are you just putting the anti-Amber DL population on? If it's true that she is a drug user and not-very-nice, phony person whose attitude changes for opportunistic reasons - you are giving the anti-Amber clique on this thread a feeling of victory.

[quote]AH ... at 1:30 pm earlier today was entertaining topless with red cowboy boots on.

I’m officially #TeamHeard

R428 Nice try, Johnny.

I mean really, as long as she turns up and does her job why does it matter what she does in her own home?

[quote] Years later, JD started coming back to the States. He was hanging out with the people who made it out sober, from that original circle. He had his shit together, more so than ever before, and was in a good place.....That’s all I’m going to say.

to the Depp Insiders: if he was in a good place, then what got him started back into a deep downward dive? the split from Vanessa?

R432 I'm no insider, but it seems like the Paradis split was the beginning of the end. It coincided with "The Lone Ranger" virtually finishing him as a credible actor, and since he's been the steaming hot mess we've all come to loathe.

r431, Well it matters if she has loud parties out at her pool until 6 am three to four times a week (her house abuts 4 other properties, and they have all complained). And you can see everything from my Friend Neighbor's kitchen (their house is slightly above her pool, so you can see the entire pool and into their house.

If you like watching a skinny girl prancing around naked whilst you're doing dishes, or preparing your food, then more power to you.

He's an addict, R433, and he does what addicts do. He should be held accountable for that and not excused, but it'd be a shame to loathe him just because he was gifted and handsome once and isn't any longer.

R434 I sure don't care about boobs and Amber Heard, but if I lived in that house I'd be all Gladys Kravitz all the time.

That's some quality snooping ground!

I knew Amber is an addict it's just obvious even in her movies she looks like an addict

Drug addicts Cara and Amber Beard they were allegedly dating

Lol, they don't look like cokeheads at all. Johnny Depp is such a douche

Even if Amber is a topless with cowboy boots bad neighbour hard partying addict it doesn't change the fact that Depp is a grimy looking douche. She could be a skanky addict and he still could have abused her.

Maybe they're both raving assholes?

r440, I would hazard that she manipulated or provoked him into abusing her in the latter part of their relationship.

And Cara must have the magic tongue- she gets some prime pussy.

[quote]I would hazard that she manipulated or provoked him into abusing her in the latter part of their relationship.

OK, you have to be a black woman from LSA. All this post is missing is a Beyonce gif.

If Heard is a coke head, is it requisite that the people she dates also abuse drugs? Makes me wonder about Elon Musk. He's known for working practically around the clock and he's become increasingly erratic and touchy lately. Hmm...

Yep, r444.

R440 you're an asshole

Nope r446. Just stating obvious facts. Amber is skanky, Depp is grimy, and nothing changes the fact that he walloped on her.

r443, alas no. But thanks for playing the Racist Stereotype Game!

Hi everybody! I live next door to Ms. Heard and today she was holding a free vaccination clinic for baby kittens in her back yard.

This was followed by a garden party for small children separated from their parents by ICE agents.

Depp is probably not used to being so hated. When he was young and hot everybody loved him.

R396 Please tell more gossip about River Phoenix :-)

En re “an addict,” everyone gobbles drugs in an adult playground like the celebrity industry

I knew that Amber Heard was a wooden actress but I was shocked at truly awful she is in this trailer for Aquaman. Part of it could be because she's wearing that terrible red wig instead of her own blonde hair, so you are focused on her monotone voice and deadpan face.

Yes, R454, you said that before.

While Momoa is a total real life stud, the more he or any of his co-stars are shown speaking, the more the Aquaman film looks like yet another huge WB/DC bomb.

Heard might be a wooden actress, hired for her looks, but her leading man is her make counterpart so it evens out, I guess.

*male, not make. Apologies

Wasn't 'Aquaman' the role Adrien Grennier played in Entourage? He's nothing but a guppy compared to Momoa.

R455 lol. The heat has gotten to me.

Depp' latest movie City of Lies which was supposed to be released in September has been postponed indefinitely. Reasons are unknown.

R460

I believe that the reason for the delay in releasing the film is due to the recent public confession about Tupac's murder.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Hmmm... where are my red cowboy boots???

Slow-motion collapse.

He has been very quiet lately.

If Depp goes down, he wants Amber to go down with him.

That's the way 'love' works, I suppose, with miserable losers, R465.

He's touring with his band right? I saw a pic of him and he looks bad but other band members look like shit too. Steve Perry looks like he's a witch. JD looks like he's channeling Robert DeNiro in Taxidriver with his haircut.

I know this is an old thread but I would not be surprised if he is in poor health.

Amber may be a manipulative piece of shit, but Johnny is a complete fucking mess himself obviously. It was stupid for him to take her to court because now ALL of his dirty laundry is coming out in the process.

They're both so vile. Ugh.

Edward Scissorhands was on cable yesterday. It's held up well. He gave a solid performance. Shame he threw it all away.

He's always been dumb, talentless white trash. His cheek bones gave him his career and probably some very dark underworld forces in Hollywood - drugs, mobster types who could kill adversaries without retribution.

There’s something about Johnny Depp that has always bugged me.Even when I was sort of a fan.This story is grotesque..It’s American capitalism at it’s worst.Someone who portrayed themselves as such a artistic “maverick” going on spending sprees with budgets that would feed the poorer citizens of struggling nations for a year.All to feed an obvious emptiness inside.The great financial divide is even more glaring now, when so many of America’s poor, sick and disenfranchised are rising up.Are we supposed to feel an ounce of pity for this man?Hollywood is choking on it’s own excesses and Depp is another sick symbol of that.

The more interesting story is his artistic decline.How did he go from maverick to shill so fast?From artistic darling to hack?Although I guess his money problems go a long way towards explaining that.The extravagant pay checks needed to support the extravagant lifestyle.But the performances themselves became an embarrassment, and whatever artistic merit his earlier portrayals held have been forever clouded by his terrible decisions.Sad I guess.But also infuriating.

I was never a fan and I didn't understand the hype about him. The disappearance of Anthony Fox, his former business partner from the Viper Room gives me the creeps.
