FROM CATALAN NEWS:Johnny Depp expresses admiration for 'Minimata' protagonist at Catalan capital's BCN Film Fest
Actor jokes about staying in Barcelona "forever" while doing press for film on US photojournalist Eugene Smith
One of the highlights of the Catalan capital's BCN Film Fest, which strives to revive an industry left reeling by the pandemic, was the much-anticipated presence of US actor Johnny Depp.
Speaking to the media on Friday, Depp expressed his admiration for the late W. Eugene Smith, the American photojournalist he portrays in his most recent movie, 'Minamata'.
In the film, Smith documents the effects of severe mercury poisoning on the population of the southern Japanese city of Minamata.
"Every time he took a photograph, for sure, the things that he was seeing and living through killed a little bit of his soul every day," Depp said.
On a more light-hearted note, Depp also joked about wanting to stay in Barcelona and, more specifically, at the upscale Hotel Casa Fuster where Friday's press conference took place.
"I've come here a couple of times and it's always been too quick of a trip so that's why I've decided to stay here forever now, in this hotel," he said, adding that he would only leave once "they bring other people in."
