JD shocks Hollywood
Film Awards with
slurred & stumbling speech
Description:
US VA Court Documents:
- Amber Heard Exhibit 26
Johnny Depp shocked the star-studded audience at the Hollywood Film Awards by stumbling, slurring and swearing his way through a speech.
The 51-year-old actor took to the stage on Friday night to present the documentary award for Mike Myers documentary Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon.
He appeared wobbly from the start, struggling with the “weirdest microphone I’ve ever seen in my life”.
“I’m not very good at this kind of thing,” he mused, scratching his head, before letting off a stream of expletives blanked out by broadcaster CBS.
“I’m going to read this thing,” he continued, determinedly staring at the autocue, before going off piste in a rambling speech paying tribute to Mr Gordon.
Apparently slurring and swaying on the podium, Depp said: “For decades Shep Gordon has been one of the most beloved and respected talent managers in the music industry, he is also the current star and subject of the documentary Supermensch... because he is a mensch.
“I’ve been very, very lucky to have him in my life. He is someone I consider a great friend, an incredibly loyal friend…so you have to watch the film!
“Yeah, there you go. What does that say?”
After another blanked out swearword, he finished with the admission “it’s one of those nights”.
