Hollywood stars are staying home this year thanks to Corona. Only Johnny Depp (57) dares to talk to people and visit the XVI Zurich Film Festival (ZFF). The actor is polite, patiently hands out autographs and hands out his smile generously.
After 2018, Depp is in Zurich for the second time. He presents his film “Crock of Gold”, a moving documentary about the singer and drunk Shane MacGowan (62). Depp has been friends with the former Pogues singer for 30 years. His film is a “declaration of love to one of Ireland’s greatest poets.” They would have drunk all night. “Shane could always tip one more behind the bandage!”
Ugly fight with ex-wife
With his movies, Depp hasn’t caused a stir lately, but he has caused a stir with his private life. In July he had a mud fight with his ex-wife Amber Heard (34) in front of a London court. She claimed that he beat her and threw her with bottles. He accused her of being a compulsive liar and cutting off half a finger. Yesterday there was nothing to get from the man in the hat about the war of the roses.
Instead, he talked about his love of acting, which was originally just a second career choice. “I wanted to be a rock musician,” he recalls. But since he made a lot of money quickly from movies, he continued this career. And I finally fell in love with this art form.
“I’m a punk rock actor”
His creed was from the beginning to be a “punk rock actor”, unpredictable and unshakable. “Of course, that carries risks,” says Depp. “But only those who are willing to take risks will eventually benefit from the new opportunities.” He never saw himself as a person who had to meet the expectations of others, he added. “I listen to my heart and do what I think is right.”
Despite his idiosyncrasies, Depp managed to become one of the most popular movie stars in the world as early as the 1990s. He has remained that way to this day. The screams of fans were again deafening yesterday as he strolled the green carpet at ZFF at 5 p.m. Ex-wife Amber’s bullying accusations have apparently hardly damaged his image.
The verdict in London is due to fall this month. Hopefully Depp is still as nice as he was yesterday in Zurich.
