“He was very special man. Yeah, he taught me a whole lot,” Depp tells Esquire Middle East

George Jung, the notorious smuggler who was famously portrayed by Johnny Depp in the 2001 film Blow, died at age 78 this week.

Jung was infamously linked to Pablo Escobar and the Medellin cartel, and at one point was a pivotal figure in the smuggling of banned substances into the United States in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Depp, speaking to Esquire Middle East over Zoom on Friday, May 7, was heartbroken over the loss of the man he portrayed in the fan-favorite biopic, who he had grown close to when they met as he prepared to play him in the film, and in the years after its release.

“You know, I can only see George with a big f***ing smile on his face,” Depp tells Esquire Middle East.

“Truly it’s a huge loss, because that man lived life with no qualms about [anything]. I mean, he was fearless. He was very special man,” Depp continues.

“Yeah, he taught me a whole lot. He was a very special guy. He was the prison philosopher.”
