3
00:00:17,258 --> 00:00:20,227
is to deliver something
that's fresh each time,

4
00:00:20,261 --> 00:00:23,471
something that's new or
at least to attempt that.

5
00:00:25,163 --> 00:00:27,717
The real responsibility
is to entertain them,

6
00:00:27,751 --> 00:00:29,615
to try and make 'em laugh.

7
00:00:29,650 --> 00:00:30,789
That's really it.

8
00:00:37,830 --> 00:00:39,108
Johnny Depp

9
00:00:39,142 --> 00:00:41,420
is perhaps one of the
most versatile actors

10
00:00:41,455 --> 00:00:43,284
of his day and age in Hollywood

11
00:00:44,561 --> 00:00:46,667
and has carved a
legacy for himself

12
00:00:46,701 --> 00:00:49,187
as a serious,
well-rounded performer.

13
00:00:49,221 --> 00:00:51,465
- I started out to make a
film that everyone will hate,

14
00:00:51,499 --> 00:00:54,571
to go out of your way to
see if they'll just hate it.

15
00:00:56,987 --> 00:00:58,506
I've done that
before, haven't I?

16
00:00:59,956 --> 00:01:01,337
- His tendency
to frequently play

17
00:01:01,371 --> 00:01:03,753
freakishly eccentric outcast,

18
00:01:03,787 --> 00:01:06,514
whose oddities are
misunderstood by society

19
00:01:06,549 --> 00:01:10,311
has made him one of the
world's best character actors

20
00:01:10,346 --> 00:01:13,521
with iconic roles such
as Captain Jack Sparrow

21
00:01:13,556 --> 00:01:14,729
and Willy Wonka.

22
00:01:14,764 --> 00:01:16,041
- With all the
characters I've played,

23
00:01:16,076 --> 00:01:17,801
they're still pretty
close to the surface.

24
00:01:17,836 --> 00:01:22,841
There's still each and every
one relatively accessible.

25
00:01:23,911 --> 00:01:25,706
- From his stranger
roles like the Mad Hatter

26
00:01:25,740 --> 00:01:29,330
in Alice in Wonderland to
more conventional performances

27
00:01:29,365 --> 00:01:32,057
like John Dillinger
in Public Enemies,

28
00:01:32,092 --> 00:01:36,130
Johnny Depp has managed to
capture the hearts of millions,

29
00:01:36,165 --> 00:01:38,063
making him a household name.

30
00:01:39,582 --> 00:01:42,136
It's just so much fun to,

31
00:01:42,171 --> 00:01:44,207
well, get away with things that
you're not normally allowed

32
00:01:44,242 --> 00:01:45,760
to get away with it.

33
00:01:45,795 --> 00:01:47,314
John is a lot of fun to write

34
00:01:47,348 --> 00:01:49,661
and he also helps out
and contributes a lot

35
00:01:49,695 --> 00:01:50,593
to the character.

36
00:01:50,627 --> 00:01:51,663
He knows it so well.

37
00:01:51,697 --> 00:01:53,216
He knows what the
character would say.

38
00:01:53,251 --> 00:01:55,701
He embellishes things
so effectively.

39
00:01:57,703 --> 00:02:01,259
- He is sensationally
professional and talented actor.

40
00:02:02,432 --> 00:02:04,124
- John, he's a legend,
he .

41
00:02:06,678 --> 00:02:09,577
- Johnny Depp
is Hollywood's chameleon.

42
00:02:20,692 --> 00:02:22,901
- I've just been very
lucky over the years.

43
00:02:22,935 --> 00:02:26,146
It's a miracle that
people still hire me

44
00:02:26,180 --> 00:02:27,940
after some of the stuff
I've gotten away with.

45
00:02:28,734 --> 00:02:29,735
I mean, honestly.

46
00:02:30,667 --> 00:02:33,153
I lay it all down to luck.

47
00:02:34,499 --> 00:02:35,776
There was no way to predict,

48
00:02:36,984 --> 00:02:41,230
prior to Pirates
of the Caribbean,

49
00:02:41,264 --> 00:02:45,475
I was labeled,

50
00:02:45,510 --> 00:02:48,168
they literally used to
call me box office poison,

51
00:02:49,652 --> 00:02:51,274
which I was kind of okay with.

52
00:02:51,309 --> 00:02:53,656
That didn't bother me at all,

53
00:02:53,690 --> 00:02:55,968
then suddenly Pirates happened.

54
00:02:57,763 --> 00:03:01,422
Suddenly, Tim doesn't
have to fight with studios

55
00:03:01,457 --> 00:03:02,630
to get me the gig anymore,

56
00:03:02,665 --> 00:03:05,737
which he had to for many years.

57
00:03:08,878 --> 00:03:10,500
It just happens.

58
00:03:22,616 --> 00:03:24,273
- Initially
known as a teen idol

59
00:03:24,307 --> 00:03:26,309
for his tortured
pretty boy looks,

60
00:03:27,276 --> 00:03:29,070
Johnny Depp survived the perils

61
00:03:29,105 --> 00:03:32,522
of adolescent heartthrob
status to earn a reputation

62
00:03:32,557 --> 00:03:34,628
as a respected adult actor.

63
00:03:41,773 --> 00:03:45,432
Johnny Depp was born
on June 9th, 1963

64
00:03:45,466 --> 00:03:47,399
in Owensboro, Kentucky,

65
00:03:47,434 --> 00:03:49,608
the youngest of four
children of waitress,

66
00:03:49,643 --> 00:03:53,681
Betty Sue Palmer and civil
engineer, John Christopher Depp.

67
00:03:53,716 --> 00:03:55,821
- Johnny, what else
can we expect to see you in?

68
00:03:57,271 --> 00:03:58,686
- Well, it's called
something else now.

69
00:03:58,721 --> 00:04:00,274
I think it's called
Learning to Fly.

70
00:04:00,309 --> 00:04:02,276
It'll be out in September.

71
00:04:06,349 --> 00:04:07,730
- The
family moved frequently

72
00:04:07,764 --> 00:04:09,145
during his childhood,

73
00:04:09,179 --> 00:04:13,045
eventually settling in
Miramar, Florida in 1970.

74
00:04:14,633 --> 00:04:18,499
His parents divorced
in 1978 when he was 15

75
00:04:18,534 --> 00:04:21,295
and his mother later
married Robert Palmer,

76
00:04:21,330 --> 00:04:23,677
whom Johnny has
called an inspiration.

77
00:04:26,058 --> 00:04:28,302
Johnny was gifted a
guitar by his mother

78
00:04:28,337 --> 00:04:32,099
when he was 12 years old and
began playing in various bands.

79
00:04:33,618 --> 00:04:37,725
He dropped out of Miramar
High School aged 16 in 1979

80
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,900
to become a rock musician.

81
00:04:39,934 --> 00:04:43,075
He attempted to go back
to school two weeks later

82
00:04:43,110 --> 00:04:45,837
but the principal told
him to follow his dream

83
00:04:45,871 --> 00:04:47,148
of being a musician.

84
00:04:49,910 --> 00:04:52,740
In 1980, he began
playing guitar in a band

85
00:04:52,775 --> 00:04:54,052
called The Kids.

86
00:04:55,985 --> 00:04:58,712
After modest local
success in Florida,

87
00:04:58,746 --> 00:05:02,405
the band moved to Los Angeles
in pursuit of a record deal,

88
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,752
changing their name
to Six Gun Method.

89
00:05:08,687 --> 00:05:10,793
In December 1983,

90
00:05:10,827 --> 00:05:13,796
Johnny married makeup
artist, Lori Anne Allison

91
00:05:13,830 --> 00:05:16,177
the sister of his band's
bassist and singer.

92
00:05:17,627 --> 00:05:21,251
The Kids split up before
signing a record deal in 1984

93
00:05:21,286 --> 00:05:24,047
and Johnny subsequently
began collaborating

94
00:05:24,082 --> 00:05:26,291
with the band, Rock City Angels.

95
00:05:27,844 --> 00:05:30,882
In the early 1980s,
Johnny Depp's then wife,

96
00:05:30,916 --> 00:05:35,024
Lori Anne Allison introduced
him to actor, Nicholas Cage

97
00:05:35,058 --> 00:05:37,751
who advised him to
pursue an acting career.

98
00:05:38,717 --> 00:05:41,237
His first role was
in the horror film,

99
00:05:41,271 --> 00:05:44,413
A Nightmare on
Elm Street in 1984

100
00:05:44,447 --> 00:05:48,037
in which he played the boyfriend
of heroine, Nancy Thompson

101
00:05:48,071 --> 00:05:50,039
and one of Freddy
Krueger's victims.

102
00:05:51,730 --> 00:05:55,424
Johnny Depp became a teen
idol during the late 1980s

103
00:05:55,458 --> 00:05:57,702
when he starred as an
undercover police officer

104
00:05:57,736 --> 00:06:01,533
in a high school operation
in the Fox television series,

105
00:06:01,568 --> 00:06:04,985
21 Jump Street, which
premiered in 1987.

106
00:06:09,990 --> 00:06:10,887
What are you doing?

107
00:06:10,922 --> 00:06:12,199
This is the way it works.

108
00:06:13,890 --> 00:06:14,960
Stare him down, Hansen.

109
00:06:16,962 --> 00:06:18,723
- Now the homeboy's
in your face.

110
00:06:18,757 --> 00:06:20,897
He don't stay here to
see if you punk out.

111
00:06:30,148 --> 00:06:31,701
- We can be like
this for days, man.

112
00:06:31,736 --> 00:06:34,739
- No, you won't 'cause after
you see that you ain't no punk

113
00:06:34,773 --> 00:06:37,120
and that you don't punk
out, he's gon' to ask you

114
00:06:38,121 --> 00:06:39,157
where you from.

115
00:06:40,469 --> 00:06:41,849
- He
accepted this role

116
00:06:41,884 --> 00:06:45,197
to work with actor, Frederic
Forrest who inspired him.

117
00:06:46,060 --> 00:06:47,648
Despite his success,

118
00:06:47,683 --> 00:06:51,652
he felt that the series forced
him into the role of product.

119
00:06:51,687 --> 00:06:54,517
He subsequently decided
to appear only in films

120
00:06:54,552 --> 00:06:56,174
that he felt were right for him.

121
00:07:10,637 --> 00:07:12,949
After his early
acting experiences,

122
00:07:12,984 --> 00:07:16,643
Johnny began to prioritize
roles he found more interesting

123
00:07:16,677 --> 00:07:19,024
rather than those he knew
would instantly succeed

124
00:07:19,059 --> 00:07:20,267
at the box office.

125
00:07:21,510 --> 00:07:24,685
His first film release
in 1990 was Cry-Baby,

126
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,930
a musical comedy
set in the 1950s.

127
00:07:27,964 --> 00:07:30,657
Although it was not a
huge box office success

128
00:07:30,691 --> 00:07:32,106
upon its release,

129
00:07:32,141 --> 00:07:35,869
over the years, it has gained
its status as a cult classic.

130
00:07:37,180 --> 00:07:39,459
1990 also saw the beginning

131
00:07:39,493 --> 00:07:41,530
of Johnny Depp's
infamous relationship

132
00:07:41,564 --> 00:07:43,911
and collaborations
with Tim Burton.

133
00:07:43,946 --> 00:07:46,707
Their first
collaboration saw Johnny

134
00:07:46,742 --> 00:07:50,159
and Edward Scissorhands
alongside Winona Ryder.

135
00:07:51,574 --> 00:07:53,749
The film was a commercial
and critical success

136
00:07:53,783 --> 00:07:56,648
and began the long association
between Johnny Depp

137
00:07:56,683 --> 00:07:57,856
and Tim Burton.

138
00:07:59,168 --> 00:08:02,240
Another of Johnny's
memorable roles from the '90s

139
00:08:02,274 --> 00:08:04,898
was in the drama, What's
Eating Gilbert Grape?

140
00:08:04,932 --> 00:08:07,901
In which he starred alongside
another upcoming actor

141
00:08:07,935 --> 00:08:10,213
of the time, Leonardo DiCaprio.

142
00:08:11,456 --> 00:08:15,080
In 1994, Johnny took on
his second collaboration

143
00:08:15,115 --> 00:08:18,877
with Tim Burton in Ed
Wood, a biographical film

144
00:08:18,912 --> 00:08:22,467
about one of history's
most inept film directors.

145
00:08:22,502 --> 00:08:25,884
Johnny has said the film gave
him a chance to stretch out

146
00:08:25,919 --> 00:08:27,852
and have some fun
with acting again.

147
00:08:29,094 --> 00:08:31,062
Ed Wood received a
positive reception

148
00:08:31,096 --> 00:08:34,030
with many critics noting
Johnny's performance,

149
00:08:34,065 --> 00:08:35,929
pointing out that he
had proved himself

150
00:08:35,963 --> 00:08:38,966
as an established
certified actor.

151
00:08:39,001 --> 00:08:42,142
He was nominated for a Golden
Globe for this performance.

152
00:08:44,178 --> 00:08:46,940
Johnny Depp's starred
alongside Al Pacino

153
00:08:46,974 --> 00:08:50,495
in the 1997 crime
drama, Donnie Brasco.

154
00:08:51,254 --> 00:08:52,877
To prepare for this role,

155
00:08:52,911 --> 00:08:56,052
Johnny spent time with
the real life Joe Pistone,

156
00:08:56,087 --> 00:08:58,296
on whose memoirs
the film was based.

157
00:08:59,642 --> 00:09:02,852
Donnie Brasco was a commercial
and critical success

158
00:09:02,887 --> 00:09:05,924
and is considered one of
Johnny's finest performances.

159
00:09:05,959 --> 00:09:07,305
- He
gave him his trust.

160
00:09:07,339 --> 00:09:08,789
- You gotta get rid
of that mustache

161
00:09:08,824 --> 00:09:10,032
and get yourself
a pair of pants.

162
00:09:10,066 --> 00:09:11,447
Dress just like me.

163
00:09:11,481 --> 00:09:13,311
- He
loved him like a son.

164
00:09:13,345 --> 00:09:15,555
- Nobody can touch you
because I represent you.

165
00:09:15,589 --> 00:09:18,696
Keep your nose clean, follow
the rules, be a good earner

166
00:09:18,730 --> 00:09:21,250
and maybe one day when
they open the books,

167
00:09:21,284 --> 00:09:23,424
you become a wise guy.

168
00:09:23,459 --> 00:09:24,943
I'd die with you, Donnie.

169
00:09:24,978 --> 00:09:27,083
- But he
never knew the truth.

170
00:09:28,498 --> 00:09:30,397
- There's a war going
on in that mafia family

171
00:09:30,431 --> 00:09:32,088
and that is where
Joe is undercover.

172
00:09:32,123 --> 00:09:33,124
Donnie, come here.

173
00:09:35,229 --> 00:09:36,783
- The
end of the 1990s

174
00:09:36,817 --> 00:09:40,303
saw Johnny take on further
memorable roles in the film,

175
00:09:40,338 --> 00:09:42,720
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

176
00:09:42,754 --> 00:09:45,861
as well as another
collaboration with Tim Burton

177
00:09:45,895 --> 00:09:48,139
for the period
film, Sleepy Hollow.

178
00:09:49,727 --> 00:09:52,143
Critics have described
the characters he plays

179
00:09:52,177 --> 00:09:53,558
as iconic loners.

180
00:09:55,077 --> 00:09:57,666
Johnny's ability to embody all
of the different characters

181
00:09:57,700 --> 00:10:01,635
he plays makes for a
spectacular show on screen,

182
00:10:01,670 --> 00:10:03,913
improves his
diversity as an actor.

183
00:10:06,122 --> 00:10:09,194
Johnny Depp began a
relationship with French actress

184
00:10:09,229 --> 00:10:11,231
and singer, Vanessa Paradis,

185
00:10:11,265 --> 00:10:15,304
whom he met while filming The
Ninth Gate in France in 1998.

186
00:10:18,169 --> 00:10:19,998
- Have you ever
seen someone across the room

187
00:10:20,033 --> 00:10:21,690
and had that feeling of
true love at first site?

188
00:10:21,724 --> 00:10:24,140
- Yeah, we've been
together about 11 years

189
00:10:24,175 --> 00:10:25,625
and we have two children.

190
00:10:27,350 --> 00:10:28,593
What happened?

191
00:10:29,767 --> 00:10:33,011
- I saw her back from
about 30 yards away,

192
00:10:33,046 --> 00:10:35,048
I saw her back and her neck

193
00:10:35,082 --> 00:10:38,845
and then turned around
suddenly and looked at me.

194
00:10:38,879 --> 00:10:41,571
I was stupefied and
then it was over.

195
00:10:43,366 --> 00:10:45,196
- They
have two children,

196
00:10:45,230 --> 00:10:49,269
daughter, Lily Rose
Melody Depp born in 1999

197
00:10:49,303 --> 00:10:51,547
and son, John
Christopher Depp III

198
00:10:52,479 --> 00:10:55,102
known as Jack born in 2002.

199
00:10:56,552 --> 00:10:58,450
He stated that having children

200
00:10:58,485 --> 00:11:01,246
has given him a real foundation,

201
00:11:01,281 --> 00:11:03,697
a real strong place
to stand in life.

202
00:11:06,044 --> 00:11:10,670
- I mean, I think I was making
choices back then for my kid

203
00:11:13,086 --> 00:11:16,917
so that when I was all
dried up and burned out

204
00:11:16,952 --> 00:11:20,162
in this business,
that my children

205
00:11:20,196 --> 00:11:22,509
would have something
to be proud of

206
00:11:22,543 --> 00:11:25,926
or hopefully be
proud of one day.

207
00:11:25,961 --> 00:11:30,517
They can watch it and say
their dad did good work

208
00:11:30,551 --> 00:11:31,552
for a little while.

209
00:11:40,458 --> 00:11:42,632
- In 2003,
Johnny Depp stepped

210
00:11:42,667 --> 00:11:46,567
into what would become one
of his most iconic roles.

211
00:11:46,602 --> 00:11:49,847
Walt Disney Pictures announced
a new adventure film,

212
00:11:49,881 --> 00:11:53,678
Pirates of the Caribbean,
The Curse of the Black Pearl

213
00:11:53,713 --> 00:11:56,163
and Johnny was playing
the now infamous,

214
00:11:56,198 --> 00:11:57,786
Captain Jack Sparrow.

215
00:12:18,910 --> 00:12:21,257
The film was a worldwide success

216
00:12:21,292 --> 00:12:23,294
and Johnny earned
widespread acclaim

217
00:12:23,328 --> 00:12:26,262
for his comic performance
as Captain Jack,

218
00:12:26,297 --> 00:12:29,231
also receiving a nomination
for the Academy Award

219
00:12:29,265 --> 00:12:30,266
for best actor.

220
00:12:31,267 --> 00:12:33,200
Captain Jack was basically...

221
00:12:34,926 --> 00:12:39,620
How I saw the character was
a sort of weird combination

222
00:12:39,655 --> 00:12:44,660
between a 18th century
rock and roll star,

223
00:12:48,043 --> 00:12:51,218
i.e, Keith Richards
and then Pepe Le Pew,

224
00:12:51,253 --> 00:12:55,775
who was a skunk basically.

225
00:13:02,264 --> 00:13:04,300
- The character
of Captain Jack Sparrow

226
00:13:04,335 --> 00:13:07,338
is adored by fans who
became instantly obsessed

227
00:13:07,372 --> 00:13:10,410
with his comical mannerisms
and bizarre personality.

228
00:13:11,756 --> 00:13:14,655
Studio executives had
at first been conflicted

229
00:13:14,690 --> 00:13:16,726
about his portrayal
of the character

230
00:13:16,761 --> 00:13:20,351
but clearly Captain Jack is
very popular with audiences.

231
00:13:21,870 --> 00:13:24,320
Pirates of the
Caribbean became iconic

232
00:13:24,355 --> 00:13:28,255
and one of Disney's best loved
action and adventure films

233
00:13:28,290 --> 00:13:30,775
with its popularity giving
the creators incentive

234
00:13:30,810 --> 00:13:32,466
to begin work on a sequel.

235
00:13:39,335 --> 00:13:42,856
In 2005, Johnny Depp,
once again collaborated

236
00:13:42,891 --> 00:13:46,653
with Tim Burton in a new
take on a classic story,

237
00:13:46,687 --> 00:13:48,379
Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory.

238
00:13:49,380 --> 00:13:51,382
In true Tim Burton's style,

239
00:13:51,416 --> 00:13:53,867
the film had a
slightly dark plot

240
00:13:53,902 --> 00:13:56,766
keeping in theme with
his usual creepy style.

241
00:13:57,975 --> 00:13:59,631
Johnny played Willy Wonka,

242
00:13:59,666 --> 00:14:01,426
a very different
type of character

243
00:14:01,461 --> 00:14:03,187
to any he had played before.

244
00:14:04,326 --> 00:14:08,157
Once I found him, he was okay.

245
00:14:09,503 --> 00:14:13,956
All the sort of elements
combined would get you there

246
00:14:13,991 --> 00:14:17,891
but the trick was finding him

247
00:14:17,926 --> 00:14:21,515
and Tim and I had
had talks early on

248
00:14:21,550 --> 00:14:24,725
of what this Wonka might be,

249
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:29,523
where he might be coming
from which were very helpful,

250
00:14:29,558 --> 00:14:30,697
those discussions.

251
00:14:30,731 --> 00:14:35,495
Talking about
children's show hosts

252
00:14:36,461 --> 00:14:40,431
like we seen as kids who talk

253
00:14:40,465 --> 00:14:45,263
this bizarre kind of
speech pattern, rhythm

254
00:14:46,471 --> 00:14:51,097
that's very melodic
and kind of stressful.

255
00:14:55,446 --> 00:14:57,758
"Hello children,
how are you today?"

256
00:14:59,312 --> 00:15:03,661
That sort of thing became
the foundation for the guy

257
00:15:05,145 --> 00:15:09,736
and then you just started
thinking about other things

258
00:15:09,770 --> 00:15:13,188
like game show hosts
and stuff like that.

259
00:15:13,222 --> 00:15:14,465
Once I found him,

260
00:15:14,499 --> 00:15:17,537
it was pretty easy to
get there every day.

261
00:15:18,848 --> 00:15:20,816
- The way
his character was styled

262
00:15:20,850 --> 00:15:24,199
has now become memorable
as the look of Willy Wonka,

263
00:15:24,233 --> 00:15:26,684
the one that children
will often dress up as.

264
00:15:27,996 --> 00:15:29,687
- One of the more
interesting sequences to film

265
00:15:29,721 --> 00:15:34,726
was when Tim locked us in
the great glass elevator,

266
00:15:38,178 --> 00:15:42,562
suspended 100 feet in the air,

267
00:15:45,703 --> 00:15:50,708
very hot, children
and that kind of thing

268
00:15:52,158 --> 00:15:57,094
and then having to imagine
what Fudge Mountain looks like

269
00:15:59,648 --> 00:16:02,340
and the sheep being sheared.

270
00:16:02,375 --> 00:16:05,688
That was a kind of an
obtuse experience, but yeah.

271
00:16:07,035 --> 00:16:09,071
- Johnny Depp
brings some amazing work

272
00:16:09,106 --> 00:16:11,694
to this role from
the voice he puts on

273
00:16:11,729 --> 00:16:13,489
to over the top actions.

274
00:16:14,697 --> 00:16:17,942
His ability to push everything
to its absolute limit

275
00:16:17,977 --> 00:16:20,565
makes it such a fun
performance to watch.

276
00:16:22,015 --> 00:16:24,431
- Try some of my grass, please
have a blink, please do.

277
00:16:24,466 --> 00:16:27,607
It's so delectable and
so darn good looking.

278
00:16:28,435 --> 00:16:30,092
You can eat the grass?

279
00:16:30,127 --> 00:16:32,025
Of course you can.

280
00:16:32,060 --> 00:16:36,029
Everything in this room is
eatable, even I'm eatable

281
00:16:36,064 --> 00:16:39,136
but that is called
cannibalism, my dear children

282
00:16:39,170 --> 00:16:42,449
and it's in fact, frowned
upon in most societies.

283
00:16:42,484 --> 00:16:45,107
Now, enjoy.

284
00:16:46,971 --> 00:16:47,972
Go on, shoo!

285
00:16:53,495 --> 00:16:55,566
- The fact that
Willy Wonka's backstory

286
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,982
featured quite heavily
throughout the film

287
00:16:58,017 --> 00:17:01,572
gave it an unusual twist to
the classic children's story.

288
00:17:02,918 --> 00:17:06,197
Getting an idea of where this
wacky personality comes from

289
00:17:06,232 --> 00:17:07,578
was certainly interesting.

290
00:17:09,097 --> 00:17:11,513
This film was followed by
another Burton collaboration

291
00:17:11,547 --> 00:17:14,481
in 2005, where Johnny
voiced the character

292
00:17:14,516 --> 00:17:18,313
of Victor Van Dort in the
stop-motion animated film,

293
00:17:18,347 --> 00:17:19,279
Corpse Bride.

294
00:17:23,732 --> 00:17:27,356
2006 saw the long
awaited pirates sequel,

295
00:17:27,391 --> 00:17:31,119
Pirates of the Caribbean,
Dead Man's Chest.

296
00:17:31,153 --> 00:17:34,467
Audiences couldn't wait to
see Johnny reprise the role

297
00:17:34,501 --> 00:17:36,538
of Captain Jack Sparrow

298
00:17:36,572 --> 00:17:39,299
and according to several
surveys at the time,

299
00:17:39,334 --> 00:17:40,576
this was the main reason

300
00:17:40,611 --> 00:17:43,545
many people went to see
the film in cinemas.

301
00:17:43,579 --> 00:17:44,822
When we did the first one,

302
00:17:44,856 --> 00:17:46,617
we thought we'd put
everything we could think of,

303
00:17:46,651 --> 00:17:50,517
a talking parrot and
a monkey and skeleton,

304
00:17:50,552 --> 00:17:52,105
sword fighting skeletons

305
00:17:52,140 --> 00:17:53,555
but then we started going

306
00:17:53,589 --> 00:17:57,559
into the the sort of
mystical history of the ocean

307
00:17:57,593 --> 00:18:01,287
and we came up with things
like Davy Jones and the Kraken

308
00:18:01,321 --> 00:18:02,702
or Kraken or Kraken

309
00:18:02,736 --> 00:18:04,876
depending on who you talk
about, the sea creature.

310
00:18:04,911 --> 00:18:07,120
There's more adventure,
there's more action.

311
00:18:08,708 --> 00:18:11,504
We had a bigger budget so
we got to have more fun.

312
00:18:11,538 --> 00:18:13,126
- The
sequel also introduced

313
00:18:13,161 --> 00:18:15,094
Captain Jack's biggest rival,

314
00:18:15,128 --> 00:18:18,097
Davy Jones played by
actor, Bill Nighy.

315
00:18:26,070 --> 00:18:28,659
- Oh.
- You have a debt to pay.

316
00:18:30,178 --> 00:18:33,629
You've been captain of the
Black Pearl for 13 years.

317
00:18:33,664 --> 00:18:35,769
That was our agreement.

318
00:18:35,804 --> 00:18:37,668
- Technically, I was only
captain for two years,

319
00:18:37,702 --> 00:18:39,773
then I was viciously
mutinied upon.

320
00:18:39,808 --> 00:18:42,707
- Then you're a poor captain
but a captain nonetheless.

321
00:18:43,743 --> 00:18:46,987
Have you not introduced
yourself all these years

322
00:18:47,022 --> 00:18:49,680
as Captain Jack Sparrow?

323
00:18:50,991 --> 00:18:53,166
- Dead Man's
Chest was closely followed

324
00:18:53,201 --> 00:18:57,412
by another sequel, Pirates of
the Caribbean, At World's End

325
00:18:57,446 --> 00:18:59,034
in 2007.

326
00:18:59,068 --> 00:19:01,726
Both films were box
office successes.

327
00:19:01,761 --> 00:19:03,211
- Well, this one, you
get everything explained

328
00:19:03,245 --> 00:19:07,215
to you that was left so
infuriatingly hanging last time.

329
00:19:07,249 --> 00:19:09,734
Everything is neatly
dovetailed and resolved

330
00:19:09,769 --> 00:19:11,633
and you get to see
why David Jones

331
00:19:11,667 --> 00:19:16,776
is actually surprisingly rather
decent, tender, loving guy.

332
00:19:17,777 --> 00:19:19,261
No, unfortunately
he remains a maniac

333
00:19:19,296 --> 00:19:21,160
but you at least get to
see what happened to him

334
00:19:21,194 --> 00:19:24,611
and why he's so
angry and intense.

335
00:19:26,234 --> 00:19:28,097
- As the third
installment of the franchise

336
00:19:28,132 --> 00:19:30,755
seemed to wrap up
some major plot lines,

337
00:19:30,790 --> 00:19:33,137
fans were worried this
was the last they'd see

338
00:19:33,172 --> 00:19:34,552
of Captain Jack.

339
00:19:35,795 --> 00:19:38,177
The character that Johnny
developed so in-depth,

340
00:19:38,211 --> 00:19:41,835
Captain Jack Sparrow is
appreciated worldwide

341
00:19:41,870 --> 00:19:44,666
and Johnny regularly
attends charity events

342
00:19:44,700 --> 00:19:48,532
for children's hospitals dressed
as the infamous character

343
00:19:48,566 --> 00:19:51,397
to surprise and bring
joy to the patients.

344
00:19:54,779 --> 00:19:58,956
In 2007, Johnny Depp took on
the rule of murderous barber,

345
00:19:58,990 --> 00:20:02,925
Sweeney Todd for his sixth
film with Tim Burton.

346
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,101
Sweeney Todd, The Demon
Barber of Fleet Street

347
00:20:06,135 --> 00:20:10,174
was developed from the
original 1979 stage musical

348
00:20:10,209 --> 00:20:13,695
and although Johnny was not
a fan of the musical genre,

349
00:20:13,729 --> 00:20:16,491
he had grown to like
the tail's treatment.

350
00:20:16,525 --> 00:20:21,047
- In the chair, come
on, Sweeney's waiting.

351
00:20:21,081 --> 00:20:22,911
I want your .

352
00:20:22,945 --> 00:20:24,671
You sir, two, sir.

353
00:20:24,706 --> 00:20:25,672
Welcome to the grave.

354
00:20:37,891 --> 00:20:40,687
I can guarantee the closest
shave you'll ever known.

355
00:20:42,896 --> 00:20:45,036
- May the good
Lord smile on you.

356
00:20:52,768 --> 00:20:55,115
- Although he had
performed in musical groups,

357
00:20:55,150 --> 00:20:57,808
Johnny was initially unsure
that he would be able

358
00:20:57,842 --> 00:21:00,880
to perform the role which
required him to sing.

359
00:21:02,157 --> 00:21:04,677
He recorded demos and worked
with his old bandmate,

360
00:21:04,711 --> 00:21:07,300
Bruce Witkin to shape his vocals

361
00:21:07,335 --> 00:21:09,302
without a qualified voice coach.

362
00:21:10,959 --> 00:21:13,686
Starring alongside fellow
Tim Burton veteran,

363
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,965
Helena Bonham Carter, the
film was a huge success

364
00:21:16,999 --> 00:21:19,830
and was praised
highly by critics.

365
00:21:19,864 --> 00:21:22,936
Johnny won a Golden
Globe for his performance

366
00:21:22,971 --> 00:21:25,870
and was once again nominated
for an Academy Award.

367
00:21:28,942 --> 00:21:32,083
Johnny Depp reunited with
director, Terry Gilliam

368
00:21:32,118 --> 00:21:36,398
for the Imaginarium of
Doctor Parnassus in 2009,

369
00:21:36,433 --> 00:21:39,470
in which Johnny, Jude
Law and Colin Farrell

370
00:21:39,505 --> 00:21:41,955
each played the character
initially portrayed

371
00:21:41,990 --> 00:21:44,164
by their friend, Heath Ledger,

372
00:21:44,199 --> 00:21:46,305
who died before the
film was completed.

373
00:21:47,444 --> 00:21:49,411
All three actors
gave their salaries

374
00:21:49,446 --> 00:21:51,171
to Ledger's daughter, Matilda.

375
00:21:53,933 --> 00:21:57,661
He then started in Michael
Mann's, 1930s crime film,

376
00:21:57,695 --> 00:22:01,043
Public Enemies in which he
portrayed real life gangster,

377
00:22:01,078 --> 00:22:02,873
John Dillinger.

378
00:22:02,907 --> 00:22:05,358
Dillinger was basically a guy

379
00:22:08,050 --> 00:22:09,604
who was public enemy number one

380
00:22:09,638 --> 00:22:11,813
but with me, myself, I
never saw him as an enemy

381
00:22:11,847 --> 00:22:12,952
of the public.

382
00:22:12,986 --> 00:22:14,747
I always saw John
Dillinger in a way

383
00:22:14,781 --> 00:22:19,683
as a 1930s version
of the Robin Hood.

384
00:22:25,654 --> 00:22:28,001
- What is it
exactly you do for a living?

385
00:22:31,211 --> 00:22:33,386
John Dillinger, I rob banks.

386
00:22:33,421 --> 00:22:36,078
- That's a serious thing to
say to a girl you just met.

387
00:22:36,113 --> 00:22:39,565
- I like baseball, movies, good
clothes, fast cars and you.

388
00:22:40,980 --> 00:22:42,568
What else do you need to know?

389
00:22:42,602 --> 00:22:44,155
- Either way, I think
that Johnny's done

390
00:22:44,190 --> 00:22:47,918
some of the most brilliant
work that any actor,

391
00:22:47,952 --> 00:22:52,957
in particular Depp and
it's the inside is exposed

392
00:22:53,268 --> 00:22:54,959
and I like him playing
this kind of a character.

393
00:22:54,994 --> 00:22:58,929
A tough guy, a real man.

394
00:22:58,963 --> 00:23:00,689
It was really probably
through Johnny,

395
00:23:00,724 --> 00:23:02,346
and maybe one other
persons I won't name

396
00:23:02,381 --> 00:23:04,244
but if they didn't do it,

397
00:23:04,279 --> 00:23:05,487
I don't think I'd
have done a movie.

398
00:23:05,522 --> 00:23:07,178
- I am declaring United
States of America's

399
00:23:07,213 --> 00:23:08,456
first war on crime.

400
00:23:11,010 --> 00:23:12,563
- Your task would
be to get John Dillinger.

401
00:23:12,598 --> 00:23:13,909
Are you up to that
task, Agent Purvis?

402
00:23:13,944 --> 00:23:14,910
Absolutely, sir.

403
00:23:21,227 --> 00:23:22,262
- That's
your money, mister?

404
00:23:22,297 --> 00:23:23,471
Yes.

405
00:23:23,505 --> 00:23:25,024
- We're here for the
bank's money, not yours.
Put it away.

406
00:23:25,058 --> 00:23:26,922
- Now the whole country
thinks you're a damn hero.

407
00:23:26,957 --> 00:23:28,614
- Robbing banks is
getting tougher.

408
00:23:28,648 --> 00:23:30,305
- We're having too
good a time today,

409
00:23:30,339 --> 00:23:32,687
we ain't thinking
about tomorrow.

410
00:23:32,721 --> 00:23:33,929
Well, you ought to.

411
00:23:35,517 --> 00:23:38,934
- Johnny!
- Put some clothes on, miss.

412
00:23:38,969 --> 00:23:40,349
- How
long did it take you

413
00:23:40,384 --> 00:23:41,868
to go through a bank?

414
00:23:41,903 --> 00:23:44,837
- About one minute
40 seconds, flat.

415
00:23:46,183 --> 00:23:48,841
Well, here's a man who killed
pretty boy .

416
00:23:50,187 --> 00:23:51,947
- The only way that you
will leave a jail cell

417
00:23:51,982 --> 00:23:54,778
is when we take you
out to execute you.

418
00:23:54,812 --> 00:23:57,470
- It is an interesting
time for a film like this

419
00:23:57,505 --> 00:24:00,300
because when you when you
look at John Dillinger

420
00:24:00,335 --> 00:24:03,062
back in those days with
the public rooting for him,

421
00:24:03,096 --> 00:24:06,928
the public's sticking by him
and supporting him at that time

422
00:24:06,962 --> 00:24:07,722
against the banks,

423
00:24:07,756 --> 00:24:09,275
against the government.

424
00:24:09,309 --> 00:24:10,621
In today's day and age,

425
00:24:10,656 --> 00:24:13,900
today's digital sort of
whirlwind that where in

426
00:24:13,935 --> 00:24:15,937
because of the amount of cell
phones and all that stuff,

427
00:24:15,971 --> 00:24:18,249
he would have been sold out
in like a half a second.

428
00:24:18,284 --> 00:24:20,700
That's a kind of an interesting
perspective on things.

429
00:24:20,735 --> 00:24:22,322
- Michael Mann was saying
that he was looking forward

430
00:24:22,357 --> 00:24:23,945
to getting your way perhaps,

431
00:24:23,979 --> 00:24:25,774
from the more
whimsical characters

432
00:24:25,809 --> 00:24:27,120
and getting you to
play a tough guy

433
00:24:27,155 --> 00:24:28,984
'cause he said that Johnny
Depp is a tough guy.

434
00:24:29,019 --> 00:24:31,400
Was it nice getting your
hands a bit dirtier?

435
00:24:32,678 --> 00:24:34,369
- Well, you always
try and get your hands

436
00:24:34,403 --> 00:24:35,784
as dirty as possible
in any case.

437
00:24:37,027 --> 00:24:39,512
Sure, it was nice to tackle
a character like this.

438
00:24:39,547 --> 00:24:41,100
I don't think it's
anything I've done before,

439
00:24:41,134 --> 00:24:43,516
which was part of the excitement

440
00:24:43,551 --> 00:24:46,968
and it's nice to fire a lot
of Thompson submachine guns

441
00:24:47,002 --> 00:24:48,003
as well.

442
00:24:50,972 --> 00:24:53,112
- The next
Depp-Burton collaboration

443
00:24:53,146 --> 00:24:55,839
was Alice in Wonderland in 2010.

444
00:24:55,873 --> 00:24:57,116
- This is your
seventh collaboration

445
00:24:57,150 --> 00:24:58,497
with Tim Burton.

446
00:24:58,531 --> 00:25:00,153
Is there anything you
will not do for this man?

447
00:25:00,188 --> 00:25:03,122
- No, I would absolutely
do anything for the guy

448
00:25:03,156 --> 00:25:03,950
without question.

449
00:25:03,985 --> 00:25:04,779
Wouldn't matter.

450
00:25:04,813 --> 00:25:06,056
- He
played the Mad Hatter

451
00:25:06,090 --> 00:25:08,265
alongside other A-list stars,

452
00:25:08,299 --> 00:25:12,165
Helena Bonham Carter, Anne
Hathaway and Alan Rickman.

453
00:25:13,822 --> 00:25:17,481
- I wanted the Hatter
to, something that
Tim and I early on

454
00:25:17,516 --> 00:25:21,174
we're talking about, if
this guy were actually made

455
00:25:21,209 --> 00:25:22,728
up of different people,

456
00:25:22,762 --> 00:25:26,041
they would be the extreme
sides of these people.

457
00:25:26,076 --> 00:25:31,115
I wanted to go extremely
kind of dark and yeah,

458
00:25:31,150 --> 00:25:34,498
dangerous with
the Scotts accent.

459
00:25:34,533 --> 00:25:37,018
I hope I arrived there.

460
00:25:38,226 --> 00:25:42,886
My kids actually saw the
film 'cause I haven't.

461
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,130
I sent them out there
in the front lines.

462
00:25:46,165 --> 00:25:50,756
They saw it and loved
it, absolutely adored it.

463
00:25:50,790 --> 00:25:52,896
Went crazy, quoting
things from it

464
00:25:52,930 --> 00:25:55,381
and just thought it was amazing.

465
00:25:55,415 --> 00:25:56,589
Loved every character

466
00:25:57,728 --> 00:25:59,696
and weren't freaked
out by it whatsoever.

467
00:26:02,906 --> 00:26:04,252
- This
role, once again

468
00:26:04,286 --> 00:26:07,566
showed Johnny's amazing
skills as a character actor

469
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,086
developing the Mad Hatter
into a larger than life role.

470
00:26:13,123 --> 00:26:16,229
- It was another one that
you felt very strongly

471
00:26:16,264 --> 00:26:20,924
about, how he should look,
what his behavior was like,

472
00:26:25,204 --> 00:26:28,069
in the end that he shouldn't
be just very simply

473
00:26:29,415 --> 00:26:32,314
throwing a rubber ball into a
room and letting them go nuts

474
00:26:32,349 --> 00:26:35,835
and just for laughs and stuff.

475
00:26:35,870 --> 00:26:39,425
I thought that there should
be some other side to him,

476
00:26:39,459 --> 00:26:44,464
some degree of damage,
some trauma in there.

477
00:26:45,293 --> 00:26:48,503
He's a bit damaged and yeah,

478
00:26:51,955 --> 00:26:54,233
I could more than
anything again,

479
00:26:54,267 --> 00:26:56,304
to use the word luck again

480
00:26:56,338 --> 00:26:58,720
because I feel so lucky to have,

481
00:27:00,619 --> 00:27:05,106
well, to get away with it

482
00:27:05,140 --> 00:27:06,348
because each time
out of the gate,

483
00:27:06,383 --> 00:27:07,936
there's always somebody
that comes around

484
00:27:07,971 --> 00:27:10,214
and says, oh Jesus,
what's he doing now?

485
00:27:13,459 --> 00:27:18,360
You kind of just
feel, in a weird way

486
00:27:19,568 --> 00:27:21,018
and I don't mean this
in a negative way

487
00:27:21,053 --> 00:27:22,502
but you've sort of
infiltrated the enemy camp

488
00:27:22,537 --> 00:27:26,334
on some level and you
made it through unscathed.

489
00:27:27,369 --> 00:27:29,164
My approach to the character,

490
00:27:30,787 --> 00:27:35,792
it was just the idea of trying
to find those places inside

491
00:27:38,553 --> 00:27:41,521
to go from extreme
sides of personality.

492
00:27:41,556 --> 00:27:46,561
One minute you're at
full capacity rage

493
00:27:47,389 --> 00:27:48,943
and then the next minute,

494
00:27:48,977 --> 00:27:53,085
you've dropped into some kind
of horrific tailspin of fear

495
00:27:55,881 --> 00:28:00,886
and then you go to some
very, great height of levity.

496
00:28:02,784 --> 00:28:07,789
That was just what I
tried to do within scenes

497
00:28:09,204 --> 00:28:12,311
as much as I could find
the right moments for him.

498
00:28:14,554 --> 00:28:16,349
- The following
year saw the release

499
00:28:16,384 --> 00:28:19,180
of the fourth installment
in the Pirates series,

500
00:28:19,214 --> 00:28:22,286
Pirates of the Caribbean,
On Stranger Tides,

501
00:28:22,321 --> 00:28:24,185
much to the surprise of fans.

502
00:28:25,427 --> 00:28:27,326
- You could
guide an expedition.

503
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,468
You are Jack Sparrow.

504
00:28:34,264 --> 00:28:36,438
- There should be a
captain in there somewhere.

505
00:28:36,473 --> 00:28:38,475
With all the characters you
play, I mean, at least for me,

506
00:28:38,509 --> 00:28:39,821
with all the
characters I've played,

507
00:28:39,856 --> 00:28:42,134
they're still pretty
close to the surface.

508
00:28:42,168 --> 00:28:46,966
They're still each and every
one relatively accessible.

509
00:28:48,727 --> 00:28:49,935
You're right though.

510
00:28:49,969 --> 00:28:51,971
Some of them, you
have to work up to,

511
00:28:52,006 --> 00:28:54,249
and other one's just
come a little bit easier

512
00:28:54,284 --> 00:28:56,389
and Captain Jack, certainly
having played him now

513
00:28:56,424 --> 00:29:01,084
four times, he arrives
pretty quickly.

514
00:29:02,879 --> 00:29:04,121
He arrives a little too quickly

515
00:29:04,156 --> 00:29:08,160
but in fact, he
arrives in life a lot,

516
00:29:10,749 --> 00:29:14,822
dropping your kids off at
school and he'll just show up.

517
00:29:14,856 --> 00:29:18,515
- Jack Sparrow, this
is his invention.

518
00:29:18,549 --> 00:29:19,516
It's his series.

519
00:29:19,550 --> 00:29:21,138
He's made it a success

520
00:29:21,173 --> 00:29:24,176
along with a lot of other
talented people behind him

521
00:29:24,210 --> 00:29:25,073
and with him.

522
00:29:26,212 --> 00:29:30,182
It's his to champion
and hopefully carry on.

523
00:29:30,216 --> 00:29:32,287
The fountain is the prize.

524
00:29:32,322 --> 00:29:33,495
- Mermaid Waters,

525
00:29:33,530 --> 00:29:34,773
that could be our path.

526
00:29:35,704 --> 00:29:36,878
Steady as she goes.

527
00:29:36,913 --> 00:29:38,224
What's your play, Jack?

528
00:29:38,259 --> 00:29:40,364
- I thought I should
give you warning,
we're taking the ship.

529
00:29:40,399 --> 00:29:43,126
It's nothing personal.

530
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,576
you
just, stay out of it.

531
00:29:47,682 --> 00:29:49,304
- I always leave a
cliffhanger at the end

532
00:29:49,339 --> 00:29:50,789
and you think, I've
got a funny feeling

533
00:29:50,823 --> 00:29:52,238
we're all gonna be getting
back together again

534
00:29:52,273 --> 00:29:53,826
in another year or two.

535
00:29:53,861 --> 00:29:55,932
The crew are amazing.

536
00:29:55,966 --> 00:29:58,486
The set, the attention
to detail, the costumes

537
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,040
and the makeup makes our
job really easy to do.

538
00:30:01,075 --> 00:30:02,870
- You always feel
that responsibility

539
00:30:02,904 --> 00:30:07,150
and you feel grateful for
great people like them

540
00:30:07,184 --> 00:30:09,393
to give me an opportunity
to be part of it.

541
00:30:09,428 --> 00:30:14,433
I felt very welcome and I
enjoyed every minute of it.

542
00:30:15,572 --> 00:30:16,815
- They'll be dangers
along the way.

543
00:30:16,849 --> 00:30:21,440
Firstly, mermaids,
zombies, Blackbeard,

544
00:30:23,683 --> 00:30:25,202
the pirate all pirates fear.

545
00:30:27,273 --> 00:30:32,278
- If I do not make it to the
fountain, neither will you.

546
00:30:36,904 --> 00:30:39,458
- Is that it?
- I think so.

547
00:30:46,741 --> 00:30:48,501
It has began, again!

548
00:30:49,986 --> 00:30:52,471
Are we not kingsmen?

549
00:30:52,505 --> 00:30:53,748
How is it we can never meet

550
00:30:53,782 --> 00:30:55,543
without you pointing
something at me?

551
00:30:55,577 --> 00:30:57,303
There's the Jack I know.

552
00:31:03,620 --> 00:31:06,278
Fight to the bitter end!

553
00:31:06,312 --> 00:31:08,176
- You know that feeling you
get when you're standing

554
00:31:08,211 --> 00:31:11,593
in a high place to
suddenly just jump?

555
00:31:14,562 --> 00:31:17,151
I don't have it.

556
00:31:19,222 --> 00:31:22,915
Did everyone see that because
I will not be doing it again.

557
00:31:22,950 --> 00:31:25,469
The only responsibility
really, I think you have

558
00:31:25,504 --> 00:31:28,472
is to deliver something
that's fresh each time,

559
00:31:28,507 --> 00:31:32,407
something that's new or
at least to attempt that.

560
00:31:34,202 --> 00:31:37,067
The real responsibility
is to entertain them,

561
00:31:37,102 --> 00:31:38,517
to try and make 'em laugh.

562
00:31:38,551 --> 00:31:39,898
That's really it.

563
00:31:42,521 --> 00:31:44,833
Already starting
out as a pirate,

564
00:31:44,868 --> 00:31:45,938
you're not on good footing

565
00:31:45,973 --> 00:31:50,978
in terms of making an impression

566
00:31:52,980 --> 00:31:55,430
'cause the pirate
that's too good

567
00:31:55,465 --> 00:31:57,501
would probably be
thrown out, wouldn't he?

568
00:31:57,536 --> 00:31:58,330
Thrown overboard.

569
00:32:00,194 --> 00:32:01,678
I think our only responsibility,

570
00:32:01,712 --> 00:32:04,336
my only responsibility
is just to try

571
00:32:04,370 --> 00:32:07,339
and invent new situations,

572
00:32:07,373 --> 00:32:09,893
new bits and pieces
that entertain.

573
00:32:11,757 --> 00:32:13,897
- The film
featured new cast members

574
00:32:13,932 --> 00:32:16,141
who hadn't appeared
in the earlier films,

575
00:32:16,175 --> 00:32:17,936
creating different storylines.

576
00:32:19,109 --> 00:32:20,766
This installment of
the Pirate series

577
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,562
was again, a box office success.

578
00:32:23,596 --> 00:32:27,497
- It's funny how the
films have been accepted

579
00:32:31,363 --> 00:32:34,228
and how the characters
have been accepted

580
00:32:34,262 --> 00:32:39,060
and you think back when we first
started out on Pirates one,

581
00:32:39,095 --> 00:32:40,337
it was very simple.

582
00:32:40,372 --> 00:32:41,752
It's just like any
other character,

583
00:32:41,787 --> 00:32:43,962
you just sort of
grab bits and pieces

584
00:32:43,996 --> 00:32:48,897
and out comes this kind of
weird little stew you've created

585
00:32:49,829 --> 00:32:53,661
and so what I'm saying is,

586
00:32:53,695 --> 00:32:55,663
none of us have done
anything really different

587
00:32:55,697 --> 00:32:57,320
other than just kind of
create these characters

588
00:32:57,354 --> 00:32:59,563
and then boom, whatever
happened happened.

589
00:33:01,186 --> 00:33:04,913
It's the first time I was
ever offered the opportunity

590
00:33:04,948 --> 00:33:08,503
to say, hey, there's a
couple of more possibilities

591
00:33:08,538 --> 00:33:11,990
or there's a few
more bits to mind

592
00:33:12,024 --> 00:33:13,681
in terms of the character

593
00:33:13,715 --> 00:33:17,512
and it's just so much fun
to get away with things

594
00:33:17,547 --> 00:33:19,549
that you're not normally
allowed to get away with,

595
00:33:19,583 --> 00:33:24,588
to be totally irreverent, to
play as absurd as you'd like.

596
00:33:30,422 --> 00:33:34,633
It's a very special opportunity.

597
00:33:37,774 --> 00:33:39,879
- In 2011,
Johnny Depp worked

598
00:33:39,914 --> 00:33:41,571
on a new animated film

599
00:33:41,605 --> 00:33:43,883
in which he voiced
the title character,

600
00:33:43,918 --> 00:33:45,575
a lizard in Rango.

601
00:33:47,404 --> 00:33:49,510
The film had a worldwide appeal

602
00:33:49,544 --> 00:33:51,788
and showed Johnny could
still create magic

603
00:33:51,822 --> 00:33:53,341
from behind a camera

604
00:33:53,376 --> 00:33:56,724
just using his voice to
develop a lovable character.

605
00:33:59,589 --> 00:34:02,661
Johnny then returned to
Hunter S. Thompson's work

606
00:34:02,695 --> 00:34:06,768
in a film adaptation of
the novel, The Rum Diary

607
00:34:06,803 --> 00:34:09,357
which also became the
first project undertaken

608
00:34:09,392 --> 00:34:12,084
by his production
company, Infinitum Nihil.

609
00:34:13,775 --> 00:34:15,743
He found this novel

610
00:34:15,777 --> 00:34:18,918
and the novel got published
40 years after it was written.

611
00:34:20,610 --> 00:34:23,233
Then asked me to have a go
at the screenplay for it,

612
00:34:23,268 --> 00:34:24,131
which I did.

613
00:34:24,165 --> 00:34:26,305
I'm a screenwriter, that's I do.

614
00:34:26,340 --> 00:34:30,102
Then to my amazement, he said,
okay, now you can direct it

615
00:34:30,137 --> 00:34:32,967
and I was very resistant
to that at first

616
00:34:33,001 --> 00:34:35,487
but, it's pretty
cool being pulleyed

617
00:34:35,521 --> 00:34:37,868
by world's number one film star.

618
00:34:37,903 --> 00:34:39,767
No, you're doing it

619
00:34:39,801 --> 00:34:41,907
and phoning up, you're
doing it, doing it.

620
00:34:41,941 --> 00:34:43,736
It's his face on screen.

621
00:34:43,771 --> 00:34:45,048
His risk, not mine.

622
00:34:46,843 --> 00:34:49,639
If the film is a
complete failure,

623
00:34:49,673 --> 00:34:51,296
it's Johnny on screen, not me.

624
00:34:51,330 --> 00:34:53,470
- It was a book that
almost never happened.

625
00:34:53,505 --> 00:34:57,750
Weirdly, it was something
that I accidentally located

626
00:34:57,785 --> 00:34:59,062
when I was going
through the manuscripts

627
00:34:59,097 --> 00:35:00,581
of Fear and Loathing
in Las Vegas

628
00:35:00,615 --> 00:35:02,652
with Hunter in his war room

629
00:35:02,686 --> 00:35:05,137
and we sat down and
started reading the thing,

630
00:35:05,172 --> 00:35:08,554
cross-legged on the
floor and Hunter said,

631
00:35:09,693 --> 00:35:12,075
"We should make
this into a film."

632
00:35:12,110 --> 00:35:14,871
I said, "Yeah, maybe you
should publish it first."

633
00:35:14,905 --> 00:35:18,599
- He is sensationally
professional and talented actor

634
00:35:18,633 --> 00:35:21,291
but he's also a great
painter and a great musician

635
00:35:21,326 --> 00:35:24,674
and he's got a wonderful
library and I'm a bibliomaniac.

636
00:35:24,708 --> 00:35:27,780
I collect the same
writers that he does

637
00:35:27,815 --> 00:35:29,644
so there was an
immediate symbiosis

638
00:35:29,679 --> 00:35:32,923
between us on that level in
that the first time we met,

639
00:35:32,958 --> 00:35:35,167
we sat there all afternoon
talking about Verlaine

640
00:35:35,202 --> 00:35:38,205
and so
that was all good stuff.

641
00:35:40,897 --> 00:35:43,693
- We worked very hard
together to try to get it done

642
00:35:45,004 --> 00:35:49,147
and because it was such
a long shot at that time,

643
00:35:49,181 --> 00:35:53,806
the two of us doing some
sort unexpected tap dance

644
00:35:53,841 --> 00:35:55,498
to try to get
money for the film.

645
00:35:55,532 --> 00:35:56,913
It didn't work very well

646
00:35:56,947 --> 00:36:01,642
and we kept pushing forward
and then 2,500 made his exit.

647
00:36:08,511 --> 00:36:10,720
After we'd gotten
Bruce on board,

648
00:36:10,754 --> 00:36:12,342
we pushed it
through, but I mean,

649
00:36:12,377 --> 00:36:15,069
14 years to get this thing made.

650
00:36:15,103 --> 00:36:17,002
- So there's
been a labor of love for you?

651
00:36:17,036 --> 00:36:19,315
- Of course, it was Hunter's
last, one of his last dreams

652
00:36:19,349 --> 00:36:22,525
so I had to make it come
true, there was no other way.

653
00:36:22,559 --> 00:36:27,323
I mean, obviously there's a
little bit more responsibility

654
00:36:27,357 --> 00:36:30,222
in terms of you're playing
someone who you knew and loved

655
00:36:30,257 --> 00:36:35,227
but an earlier version where
he had not yet found the avenue

656
00:36:36,435 --> 00:36:38,299
for the rage or
the voice itself.

657
00:36:42,786 --> 00:36:44,685
- Did it get
quite emotional at times?

658
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:48,689
- Of course, because you're
serving your best friend

659
00:36:49,517 --> 00:36:50,760
who's not there with you.

660
00:36:51,968 --> 00:36:53,072
- Great,
thank you so much.

661
00:36:53,107 --> 00:36:55,696
Thank you, thanks very much.

662
00:36:58,043 --> 00:37:00,356
- In 2012,
Johnny Depp's starred

663
00:37:00,390 --> 00:37:03,876
in his eighth film with
Tim Burton, Dark Shadows,

664
00:37:03,911 --> 00:37:05,913
alongside Michelle Pfeiffer

665
00:37:05,947 --> 00:37:08,709
and of course,
Helena Bonham Carter.

666
00:37:08,743 --> 00:37:13,403
- I think it's one of
Tim's finest yet again.

667
00:37:13,438 --> 00:37:14,922
I mean, he just keeps
getting better and better

668
00:37:14,956 --> 00:37:18,339
as a filmmaker and as an artist

669
00:37:18,374 --> 00:37:21,239
but I certainly haven't gotten
tired of working with Tim.

670
00:37:21,273 --> 00:37:22,895
I don't think I ever would.

671
00:37:22,930 --> 00:37:25,967
It's always fresh, it's always
new, it's always different.

672
00:37:26,002 --> 00:37:29,350
It feels like the
first time every time.

673
00:37:30,903 --> 00:37:32,836
- The film
was based on the 1960s

674
00:37:32,871 --> 00:37:35,943
Gothic television soap
opera of the same name,

675
00:37:35,977 --> 00:37:38,359
which had been one of
his favorites as a child.

676
00:37:39,222 --> 00:37:40,465
Well, it was fair

677
00:37:40,499 --> 00:37:41,949
'cause I mean, a lot
of people know it.

678
00:37:41,983 --> 00:37:43,502
I mean, there was,
there was a group of us

679
00:37:43,537 --> 00:37:46,160
like Johnny or Michelle
Pfeiffer and others,

680
00:37:46,194 --> 00:37:47,334
but it wasn't .

681
00:37:47,368 --> 00:37:49,197
Other countries
didn't know about it.

682
00:37:49,232 --> 00:37:51,855
We just tried to do what
we loved about the show

683
00:37:51,890 --> 00:37:54,651
and not have it be
reliant on anybody

684
00:37:54,686 --> 00:37:56,135
knowing what the show was.

685
00:37:57,344 --> 00:38:02,038
- My twist and Tim's
twist on the vampire

686
00:38:04,282 --> 00:38:09,183
and certainly the base
ingredient was Jonathan Fred.

687
00:38:09,217 --> 00:38:12,842
He was wonderful in the
role and there was no way

688
00:38:12,876 --> 00:38:16,535
to escape the sort of
beauty that he contributed.

689
00:38:16,570 --> 00:38:18,917
- There was no
political context?

690
00:38:18,951 --> 00:38:21,299
No, political context.

691
00:38:21,333 --> 00:38:22,679
You wanna wear a fake
nose in you're fucking--

692
00:38:22,714 --> 00:38:23,991
The same year,

693
00:38:24,025 --> 00:38:26,304
Johnny Depp and his 21
Jump Street co-stars,

694
00:38:26,338 --> 00:38:28,892
Peter DeLuise and Holly Robinson

695
00:38:28,927 --> 00:38:31,964
briefly reprised their
roles in cameo appearances

696
00:38:31,999 --> 00:38:35,071
in the series 2012
feature film adaptation.

697
00:38:35,105 --> 00:38:37,763
- I mean, look, we know what
it's like being an undercover.

698
00:38:37,798 --> 00:38:39,040
Metro Police Jump
Street division.

699
00:38:39,075 --> 00:38:40,421
- Come on, you guys
are Jump Street?

700
00:38:40,456 --> 00:38:41,871
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

701
00:38:41,905 --> 00:38:43,459
- That's funny because we
were actually Jump Street.

702
00:38:43,493 --> 00:38:44,977
- What?
- That's crazy.

703
00:38:45,012 --> 00:38:47,186
- He also announced
the split from his wife,

704
00:38:47,221 --> 00:38:50,983
Vanessa Paradis but the
pair are close friends.

705
00:38:53,020 --> 00:38:54,987
Johnny Depp's next
starring role,

706
00:38:55,022 --> 00:38:58,991
as Tonto in the Lone Ranger
was not well received

707
00:38:59,026 --> 00:39:00,959
by the public or the critics.

708
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:03,720
I had a ball.

709
00:39:03,755 --> 00:39:08,760
Working with Armie was the
gas, the guy, he's very funny.

710
00:39:09,416 --> 00:39:11,072
He's very talented.

711
00:39:11,107 --> 00:39:15,387
He's a really good guy and
we're like a house on fire

712
00:39:16,561 --> 00:39:17,838
which I think comes
through on screen.

713
00:39:17,872 --> 00:39:18,908
Absolutely, yeah.

714
00:39:18,942 --> 00:39:20,461
What do you think
audiences can expect

715
00:39:20,496 --> 00:39:23,153
from this take on it 'cause
there's a different take
on Tonto in particular?

716
00:39:23,188 --> 00:39:27,088
- Well, the interesting
thing about this particular,

717
00:39:27,123 --> 00:39:29,574
let's say incarnation
of Lone Ranger

718
00:39:29,608 --> 00:39:32,162
is that it's totally
different than the first.

719
00:39:32,197 --> 00:39:36,166
It's got this sort of the
mainstay kind of elements

720
00:39:36,201 --> 00:39:41,206
but the majority of the
story is very different

721
00:39:42,621 --> 00:39:46,073
and puts Tonto in a place
where he should have never been

722
00:39:46,107 --> 00:39:48,420
in the first place,
which is the sidekick.

723
00:39:48,455 --> 00:39:50,595
Tonto is no longer the sidekick,

724
00:39:50,629 --> 00:39:55,634
he's more of the sort of the
lone ranger's spirit leader

725
00:39:56,463 --> 00:39:58,465
if you want or spirit walker.

726
00:40:01,537 --> 00:40:03,573
- The film
was a box office bomb

727
00:40:03,608 --> 00:40:08,406
that caused Walt Disney Studios
to take a $190 million loss.

728
00:40:13,100 --> 00:40:16,379
In 2012, Johnny was listed
as the highest paid actor

729
00:40:16,414 --> 00:40:18,450
in the Guinness book
of World Records

730
00:40:18,485 --> 00:40:21,419
for earning a total of
$75 million in 2011.

731
00:40:23,559 --> 00:40:25,388
That great amount
of money was earned

732
00:40:25,423 --> 00:40:28,460
thanks to his most
financially successful films,

733
00:40:28,495 --> 00:40:31,429
Pirates of the Caribbean
and Alice in Wonderland

734
00:40:32,913 --> 00:40:36,710
each grossing $3 billion
and $1 billion respectively.

735
00:40:40,507 --> 00:40:45,132
In 2015, Johnny took on the
lead role in Black Mass,

736
00:40:45,166 --> 00:40:46,996
which earned him
his third nomination

737
00:40:47,030 --> 00:40:49,032
for the best actor SAG Award.

738
00:40:50,896 --> 00:40:51,897
It comes everything

739
00:40:55,142 --> 00:40:57,247
once you're able to
actually see the character

740
00:40:58,766 --> 00:41:02,114
and we did five or six
tests with my makeup artist

741
00:41:04,738 --> 00:41:06,705
to get it to the point

742
00:41:06,740 --> 00:41:10,709
where it was just as
perfect as we can get.

743
00:41:13,540 --> 00:41:17,578
Not only the fact that it aids

744
00:41:17,613 --> 00:41:20,167
in bringing that
character to life,

745
00:41:20,201 --> 00:41:25,206
it was quite interesting
to see the reactions

746
00:41:26,207 --> 00:41:28,934
from some of his
former associates.

747
00:41:31,143 --> 00:41:32,938
Some of them were
quite freaked out.

748
00:41:32,973 --> 00:41:35,113
Really?

749
00:41:35,147 --> 00:41:37,667
There were extras sometimes

750
00:41:37,702 --> 00:41:39,531
and they would be in the scene

751
00:41:39,566 --> 00:41:44,536
and afterwards, there
were a bit freaked out.

752
00:41:46,434 --> 00:41:48,644
- A bit
close for comfort.
- I think.

753
00:41:48,678 --> 00:41:51,785
It was like seeing Whitey
Bulger 30 years ago.

754
00:41:53,752 --> 00:41:55,892
- He plays
James Whitey Bulger,

755
00:41:55,927 --> 00:41:58,550
the head of the Winter
Hill gang who dealt drugs

756
00:41:58,585 --> 00:42:00,656
and ran an extortion
racket on the streets

757
00:42:00,690 --> 00:42:03,969
of inner city Boston in
the '80s and early '90s

758
00:42:04,004 --> 00:42:07,214
while simultaneously
working as an FBI informant.

759
00:42:08,629 --> 00:42:12,875
- It was a conscious
decision to sort of combine

760
00:42:12,909 --> 00:42:16,223
my approach to the character

761
00:42:16,257 --> 00:42:21,262
with Scott Cooper's
style of filmmaking.

762
00:42:23,851 --> 00:42:28,856
He's really different.

763
00:42:31,238 --> 00:42:32,998
This is only his third film.

764
00:42:33,033 --> 00:42:36,588
I mean, if you think about
it, it's only his third film

765
00:42:36,623 --> 00:42:41,628
and the guy, he's
just brilliant.

766
00:42:43,043 --> 00:42:46,356
I've been a fan of his
movies, his other two movies.

767
00:42:49,774 --> 00:42:52,397
What's beautiful about
him is he has no fear.

768
00:42:52,431 --> 00:42:54,606
He's not afraid to take chances,

769
00:42:54,641 --> 00:42:59,611
he's not afraid to do a
very large sort of a scene

770
00:43:00,370 --> 00:43:01,233
in one shot.

771
00:43:03,063 --> 00:43:08,068
That sort of bravery is missing.

772
00:43:09,310 --> 00:43:11,934
We used to have
and people like that

773
00:43:11,968 --> 00:43:12,935
who did that.

774
00:43:14,764 --> 00:43:15,662
Something different

775
00:43:15,696 --> 00:43:16,904
in the film industry then.

776
00:43:16,939 --> 00:43:19,251
- Yeah, he's got a
radical voice, I think

777
00:43:19,286 --> 00:43:22,496
and I'm really
appreciative of him.

778
00:43:23,911 --> 00:43:28,329
Anytime that people take notice
of something you've done,

779
00:43:36,303 --> 00:43:40,756
although my process
hasn't changed at all.

780
00:43:40,790 --> 00:43:44,449
My process is the same
as it has ever been

781
00:43:44,483 --> 00:43:48,695
but of course, it's
really nice to hear

782
00:43:48,729 --> 00:43:50,731
that people responded to it.

783
00:43:52,319 --> 00:43:54,114
- Critics
praised his role

784
00:43:54,148 --> 00:43:56,737
and said it was exciting
to see him back on form.

785
00:43:57,980 --> 00:43:59,464
In the same year,

786
00:43:59,498 --> 00:44:02,674
he also started alongside
Gwyneth Paltrow in Mordecai,

787
00:44:02,709 --> 00:44:05,021
an adaptation from
the novel series.

788
00:44:06,505 --> 00:44:09,854
Johnny played Lord Charlie
Mordecai, an art dealer

789
00:44:09,888 --> 00:44:13,305
and swindler who races to
recover a stolen painting

790
00:44:13,340 --> 00:44:16,964
rumored to contain a code
that leads to lost gold.

791
00:44:20,105 --> 00:44:21,451
The first time I read it,

792
00:44:21,486 --> 00:44:25,317
I thought it could never ever
be a movie, it's too much.

793
00:44:25,352 --> 00:44:28,666
In fact, you realize it's
like seven movies in it.

794
00:44:28,700 --> 00:44:31,876
You could make at least five
movies from .

795
00:44:36,915 --> 00:44:39,021
I am Lord Charlie Mordecai,

796
00:44:41,195 --> 00:44:45,268
respected by all who
know me, slightly.

797
00:44:45,303 --> 00:44:47,719
- Excellent shot, sir!
- Man down.

798
00:44:49,410 --> 00:44:51,205
- I am an art dealer,
an officianado.

799
00:44:53,587 --> 00:44:57,487
My wife, Joanna,
my only true love.

800
00:44:57,522 --> 00:44:59,455
- I thought I'd see how
you secret agent men

801
00:44:59,489 --> 00:45:00,836
run the world.

802
00:45:00,870 --> 00:45:03,114
- I'm afraid I shall have to
put my foot down, darling.

803
00:45:03,148 --> 00:45:04,253
Sorry?

804
00:45:04,287 --> 00:45:05,737
- With your
permission, of course.

805
00:45:07,290 --> 00:45:10,708
- Also in 2015,
Johnny married Amber Heard,

806
00:45:10,742 --> 00:45:12,710
his co-star from The Rum Diary.

807
00:45:14,194 --> 00:45:17,369
This relationship would go on
to fall apart very publicly

808
00:45:17,404 --> 00:45:20,027
and be the source of
grueling court cases.

809
00:45:23,237 --> 00:45:27,310
In 2016, Johnny Depp reprised
the role of the Mad Hatter

810
00:45:27,345 --> 00:45:30,279
in Tim Burton's, Alice
Through the Looking Glass,

811
00:45:30,313 --> 00:45:32,902
the sequel to Alice
in Wonderland.

812
00:45:32,937 --> 00:45:34,904
The film had been a huge success

813
00:45:34,939 --> 00:45:37,942
which warranted a sequel
which did just as well.

814
00:45:40,427 --> 00:45:44,638
- It's to be able
to get back into that skin,

815
00:45:47,537 --> 00:45:51,472
to be able to explore a little
bit more about the character

816
00:45:51,507 --> 00:45:56,512
other
layers, essentially.

817
00:45:58,548 --> 00:46:01,620
You see the Hatter at his
absolute worst .

818
00:46:14,116 --> 00:46:15,980
- Johnny had
also been secretly cast

819
00:46:16,014 --> 00:46:19,086
to play dark wizard,
Gellert Grindelwald

820
00:46:19,121 --> 00:46:20,467
in a cameo appearance

821
00:46:20,501 --> 00:46:24,402
in Fantastic Beasts and
Where to Find Them in 2016,

822
00:46:24,436 --> 00:46:27,750
the first installment of a
Fantastic Beasts franchise

823
00:46:27,785 --> 00:46:29,407
which is considered a prequel

824
00:46:29,441 --> 00:46:31,581
to the Wizarding
World of Harry Potter.

825
00:46:32,997 --> 00:46:36,207
His name was not mentioned
in the promotional materials

826
00:46:36,241 --> 00:46:38,312
and his cameo was only revealed

827
00:46:38,347 --> 00:46:39,520
at the end of the film.

828
00:46:42,144 --> 00:46:46,389
In 2017, he also reprised his
role as Captain Jack Sparrow

829
00:46:46,424 --> 00:46:49,220
in the fifth installment
of the Pirate series,

830
00:46:49,254 --> 00:46:53,396
Pirates of the Caribbean,
Dead Men Tell No Tales.

831
00:46:53,431 --> 00:46:56,261
- In the U.
- S, it was less
popular with audiences

832
00:46:56,296 --> 00:46:57,987
than the previous installments

833
00:46:58,022 --> 00:47:00,887
but had a good box office
return internationally.

834
00:47:03,337 --> 00:47:06,340
Johnny Depp's last
film release of 2017

835
00:47:06,375 --> 00:47:08,411
was the Agatha
Christie adaptation

836
00:47:08,446 --> 00:47:10,897
of Murder On The Orient Express,

837
00:47:10,931 --> 00:47:13,589
in which he was part
of an ensemble cast.

838
00:47:18,732 --> 00:47:22,287
In 2018, Johnny Depp
starred in City of Lies

839
00:47:22,322 --> 00:47:25,532
as Russell Poole,
an LAPD detective

840
00:47:25,566 --> 00:47:27,603
who attempts to solve
the murders of rappers,

841
00:47:27,637 --> 00:47:30,951
Tupac Shakur and
the Notorious BIG.

842
00:47:30,986 --> 00:47:32,573
- Bet he didn't
have Tupac killed.

843
00:47:32,608 --> 00:47:35,404
- The facts point to
something more here.

844
00:47:35,438 --> 00:47:36,923
- If we could prove a
connection between cop

845
00:47:36,957 --> 00:47:39,753
and Biggie's murder, it will
not only break the LAPD...

846
00:47:41,237 --> 00:47:42,583
It would ruin the city.

847
00:47:44,344 --> 00:47:46,380
- The film was
originally set for release

848
00:47:46,415 --> 00:47:48,072
in September, 2018

849
00:47:48,106 --> 00:47:51,627
but was pulled from release
schedule one month before.

850
00:47:51,661 --> 00:47:53,560
It was later screened
out of competition

851
00:47:53,594 --> 00:47:56,011
at the Noir film
festival in Italy

852
00:47:56,045 --> 00:47:58,841
but has not been
released elsewhere.

853
00:47:58,876 --> 00:48:02,672
However, there are now rumors
of a 2021 release date.

854
00:48:04,019 --> 00:48:06,745
Johnny Depp's last
film release of 2018

855
00:48:06,780 --> 00:48:10,404
was Fantastic Beasts, The
Crimes of Grindelwald,

856
00:48:10,439 --> 00:48:13,511
the sequel to Fantastic
Beasts and Where To Find Them

857
00:48:13,545 --> 00:48:16,065
in which he reprised
his role as Grindelwald,

858
00:48:16,100 --> 00:48:18,550
who becomes one of the
main focuses of the plot.

859
00:48:20,035 --> 00:48:23,521
Johnny portrayed
photographer, W. Eugene Smith

860
00:48:23,555 --> 00:48:26,489
in the independent
film drama, Minamata

861
00:48:26,524 --> 00:48:30,390
which premiered at the
Berlin Film Festival in 2020

862
00:48:30,424 --> 00:48:32,944
and was released in early 2021

863
00:48:32,979 --> 00:48:36,016
after being delayed due
to the COVID-19 pandemic.

864
00:48:37,259 --> 00:48:41,504
- I've always had a
strange fascination

865
00:48:41,539 --> 00:48:44,473
with W. Eugene Smith.

866
00:48:45,715 --> 00:48:47,648
Initially, the
photographs of course

867
00:48:47,683 --> 00:48:51,756
but then when I'd read
a bit about his life

868
00:48:51,790 --> 00:48:55,553
and what he'd gone through,

869
00:48:55,587 --> 00:48:59,626
what he experienced,
what he sacrificed

870
00:49:01,524 --> 00:49:05,701
to capture those moments,
to capture those photos.

871
00:49:05,735 --> 00:49:08,083
I was also fascinated
by the fact

872
00:49:08,117 --> 00:49:13,122
that he was known
as W. Eugene Smith

873
00:49:14,641 --> 00:49:17,299
and I'd heard the story
that anywhere he would be,

874
00:49:18,645 --> 00:49:21,648
at times curmudgeonly bad mood

875
00:49:22,890 --> 00:49:24,651
or whatever it was
going on in his mind

876
00:49:24,685 --> 00:49:28,448
and they'd say, "What does
the W stand for, Eugene,"

877
00:49:28,482 --> 00:49:33,487
and he'd say, "Wonderful,
Wonderful Eugene Smith."

878
00:49:35,627 --> 00:49:39,942
Then of course, with the
work that he and Eileen did

879
00:49:39,977 --> 00:49:43,601
in Minamata is monumental.

880
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:50,125
I mean, it was quite a
quite a ride for them,

881
00:49:51,367 --> 00:49:53,542
very dangerous, so dedicated.

882
00:50:01,584 --> 00:50:02,792
They did not jump ship

883
00:50:04,070 --> 00:50:07,073
because between the
actor and a camera,

884
00:50:07,107 --> 00:50:10,731
there's a strange
dance that you do

885
00:50:12,354 --> 00:50:14,770
when scenes aren't
particularly blocked out

886
00:50:14,804 --> 00:50:19,809
exactly to where he doesn't
know where I'm gonna go,

887
00:50:20,741 --> 00:50:24,021
I don't know where
he's gonna go in shots.

888
00:50:25,539 --> 00:50:29,647
There's a kind of beauty in the
organic nature of that dance

889
00:50:31,959 --> 00:50:36,964
between actor and
operator or the eye,

890
00:50:38,414 --> 00:50:41,762
which has been incredible work.

891
00:50:43,902 --> 00:50:46,181
- The film
follows Eugene Smith,

892
00:50:46,215 --> 00:50:48,942
an American photographer
who documented the effects

893
00:50:48,976 --> 00:50:50,461
of mercury poisoning

894
00:50:50,495 --> 00:50:53,498
on the citizens of
Minamata, Kumamoto, Japan.

895
00:50:54,844 --> 00:50:56,674
- You start to learn,
you start to check

896
00:50:56,708 --> 00:50:58,020
and you read about
him a little bit.

897
00:50:58,055 --> 00:50:59,711
This is years and years ago,

898
00:51:01,334 --> 00:51:03,267
then you work with
photographers.

899
00:51:03,301 --> 00:51:08,237
I worked with Mary Ellen Mark
for many years over the years

900
00:51:09,549 --> 00:51:13,139
and she had known him
at one of the photo...

901
00:51:15,072 --> 00:51:17,557
- Probably Magnum.
- Magnum.

902
00:51:17,591 --> 00:51:18,385
It was Magnum.

903
00:51:19,559 --> 00:51:21,147
You find out these
great stories.

904
00:51:26,013 --> 00:51:28,844
There was a side to
him that wouldn't care.

905
00:51:30,017 --> 00:51:33,193
He just got, I don't care
and he's just moving forward

906
00:51:36,058 --> 00:51:38,992
but there was a side of
him, he could be quiet.

907
00:51:39,026 --> 00:51:43,583
He could bite and
he could be rough

908
00:51:45,826 --> 00:51:50,176
but the deal with, I
think with Eugene Smith,

909
00:51:50,210 --> 00:51:53,040
ultimately what I
walked away with,

910
00:51:55,181 --> 00:51:57,252
especially after talking
to other photographers

911
00:51:57,286 --> 00:51:58,632
who'd known him and stuff

912
00:51:59,909 --> 00:52:04,431
that he was totally
unpredictable, multifaceted,

913
00:52:06,847 --> 00:52:10,299
quite bitter, quite
curmudgeonly and prickly

914
00:52:14,786 --> 00:52:19,481
but that was because
the heart was in there

915
00:52:19,515 --> 00:52:21,310
and it was too close
to the surface.

916
00:52:22,863 --> 00:52:25,280
It was challenging 'cause
you owe a great deal

917
00:52:25,314 --> 00:52:27,144
of responsibility
to these peoples.

918
00:52:32,839 --> 00:52:34,910
- Prior
to his acting career,

919
00:52:34,944 --> 00:52:37,947
Depp was a guitarist and
he's later featured on songs

920
00:52:37,982 --> 00:52:41,675
by Oasis, Iggy Pop,
Erasmith and more.

921
00:52:41,710 --> 00:52:45,023
He played guitar on the
soundtrack of his film, Chocolat

922
00:52:45,058 --> 00:52:47,819
and Once Upon a Time in Mexico

923
00:52:47,854 --> 00:52:49,304
and he's appeared
in music videos

924
00:52:49,338 --> 00:52:51,547
for Tom Petty and
the Heartbreakers,

925
00:52:51,582 --> 00:52:54,999
the Lemonheads, Avril
Lavigne and Paul McCartney.

926
00:52:57,312 --> 00:53:00,107
as well, Johnny Depp.

927
00:53:00,142 --> 00:53:02,420
- Well, he came in
at the end of a song.

928
00:53:02,455 --> 00:53:04,940
We went to LA to do this record.

929
00:53:04,974 --> 00:53:06,113
The whole band was hanging out

930
00:53:06,148 --> 00:53:08,185
and that's where you'd
meet somebody like him

931
00:53:08,219 --> 00:53:09,910
and I'd known him from before

932
00:53:09,945 --> 00:53:12,189
and just invited
him down the studio.

933
00:53:12,223 --> 00:53:15,813
He's a big fan of Joe's and
a bunch of other people too.

934
00:53:15,847 --> 00:53:17,539
- He's a great
guitar player, isn't he?

935
00:53:17,573 --> 00:53:18,471
Is he what?

936
00:53:18,505 --> 00:53:19,368
- He's a good--

937
00:53:19,403 --> 00:53:20,680
He's a great guitar player.

938
00:53:20,714 --> 00:53:22,992
- Yeah, you ever seen
the movie, Chocolat?

939
00:53:24,615 --> 00:53:26,996
- Yeah, well that's
really him playing.

940
00:53:27,031 --> 00:53:28,929
In the movies, they can fake it

941
00:53:28,964 --> 00:53:33,417
and you can tell when you
watch him play in that movie,

942
00:53:33,451 --> 00:53:36,005
he's playing and
that's the real deal.

943
00:53:37,214 --> 00:53:40,941
Also, he jammed with us
at the Hollywood Bowl

944
00:53:40,976 --> 00:53:45,981
in the last gig
and the last tour.

945
00:53:47,465 --> 00:53:49,709
He wanted to play on
Train Kept It Rolling

946
00:53:49,743 --> 00:53:53,989
and it's on the DVD and
it's on the deluxe version.

947
00:53:54,023 --> 00:53:56,612
You can really get a chance
to hear him cut loose.

948
00:53:58,373 --> 00:54:01,134
- In 2015, he
formed the supergroup,

949
00:54:01,168 --> 00:54:04,758
Hollywood Vampires with
Alice Cooper and Joe Perry.

950
00:54:04,793 --> 00:54:07,313
The band also
includes Bruce Witkin,

951
00:54:07,347 --> 00:54:10,833
his friend from the
1980s band, The Kids.

952
00:54:10,868 --> 00:54:12,283
- Well, it started
out right here.

953
00:54:12,318 --> 00:54:13,974
It started out here.

954
00:54:14,009 --> 00:54:17,909
We did Dark Shadows and I
was in the movie with them

955
00:54:17,944 --> 00:54:21,327
and then one night we were
gonna go play the 100 Club.

956
00:54:21,361 --> 00:54:22,604
Just my band was gonna go down

957
00:54:22,638 --> 00:54:25,917
and just be a bar band,
no theatrics, nothing.

958
00:54:25,952 --> 00:54:28,506
If somebody yells out
Brown Sugar, we'll play it.

959
00:54:28,541 --> 00:54:30,197
Back in the USSR, okay.

960
00:54:31,613 --> 00:54:33,753
I said, "Johnny, come
down and play with us."

961
00:54:33,787 --> 00:54:36,928
He comes down, brings his amp
and he's a good guitar player,

962
00:54:36,963 --> 00:54:38,792
really a good guitar player.

963
00:54:38,827 --> 00:54:41,381
He started out being a guitar
player, became an actor

964
00:54:43,418 --> 00:54:45,661
and then we took
it another step.

965
00:54:45,696 --> 00:54:48,975
I said, "What if we paid tribute

966
00:54:49,009 --> 00:54:51,288
to all of our dead
drunk friends,

967
00:54:51,322 --> 00:54:53,048
all the guys we
used to drink with,"

968
00:54:54,532 --> 00:54:57,190
and we had a drinking club
called the Hollywood Vampires.

969
00:54:58,536 --> 00:55:00,745
- The band
made their live debut

970
00:55:00,780 --> 00:55:04,335
at the Roxy in Los
Angeles in September, 2015

971
00:55:04,370 --> 00:55:08,788
and has since done two world
tours in 2016 and 2018.

972
00:55:09,996 --> 00:55:14,311
Their second studio album,
Rise was released in June, 2019

973
00:55:14,345 --> 00:55:16,934
and consists mostly
of original material

974
00:55:16,968 --> 00:55:19,005
including songs
written by Johnny.

975
00:55:20,489 --> 00:55:23,112
In 2020, Johnny Depp
released a cover

976
00:55:23,147 --> 00:55:27,185
of John Lennon's Isolation
with guitarist, Jeff Beck

977
00:55:27,220 --> 00:55:30,016
and stated that they would be
releasing more music together

978
00:55:30,050 --> 00:55:30,913
in the future.

979
00:55:32,777 --> 00:55:34,020
I enjoyed the process.

980
00:55:34,054 --> 00:55:37,403
I like making things,
I like finding moments,

981
00:55:37,437 --> 00:55:42,442
I like creating moments,
I like the idea of chance.

982
00:55:44,582 --> 00:55:46,550
Yeah, I like the process.

983
00:55:55,386 --> 00:55:58,355
- Johnny Depp has
made a long successful career

984
00:55:58,389 --> 00:56:01,185
for himself in Hollywood,
ultimately becoming

985
00:56:01,219 --> 00:56:05,154
one of the most recognizable
names in the industry.

986
00:56:05,189 --> 00:56:07,778
- I mean, he's such a
down to earth, easygoing,

987
00:56:07,812 --> 00:56:10,401
really nice human being
as well as being gorgeous

988
00:56:10,436 --> 00:56:11,229
to look at.

989
00:56:13,439 --> 00:56:15,095
- According
to Johnny himself,

990
00:56:15,130 --> 00:56:17,891
the exciting part
is doing the work,

991
00:56:17,926 --> 00:56:19,893
immersing himself
in the character

992
00:56:19,928 --> 00:56:22,551
and putting everything
into his performance.

993
00:56:24,001 --> 00:56:27,176
Visibility to totally transform
into the role he is playing.

994
00:56:27,211 --> 00:56:30,421
Be it a pirate, a man
with scissors for hands

995
00:56:30,456 --> 00:56:32,561
or an old time gangster,

996
00:56:32,596 --> 00:56:36,013
Johnny Depp always leaves
us visibly awestruck

997
00:56:36,047 --> 00:56:39,396
knowing that no one else
could done the role he played.

998
00:56:40,949 --> 00:56:43,123
Johnny Depp is a proud father,

999
00:56:43,158 --> 00:56:46,886
an a claimed actor
all on his own terms.

1000
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,440
In an industry where
most A-list leading men

1001
00:56:49,475 --> 00:56:52,374
have chosen to stick to
muscled up superheroes,

1002
00:56:52,409 --> 00:56:56,620
gun toting action men or
love struck romantic leads,

1003
00:56:56,654 --> 00:57:00,589
Johnny himself continues
to rule all genres

1004
00:57:00,624 --> 00:57:03,212
succeeding in each and more.

1005
00:57:07,907 --> 00:57:11,566
How many characters can Johnny
Depp keep inside himself

1006
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:13,188
and is it safe to do so?

1007
00:57:14,431 --> 00:57:17,434
The legacy of Johnny
Depp is sure to continue.
