Has Johnny Depp
become Hollywood’s
biggest joke?
Description:
US VA Court Documents: Amber Heard Exhibit 40 - Article - "Has Johnny Depp become Hollywood's biggest joke?" 1/24/15
Johnny Depp, step away from the makeup kit in Tim Burton’s attic. Really, what role’s next for you — a soulful Roomba that magically becomes self-aware? A mentally challenged teen who doesn’t realize he’s actually 50 years old? “Ronald McDonald: The Movie”?
Depp’s career scampering down Eccentric Highway has finally flipped over and rolled to a stop at Weird Boulevard.
After playing a dead scientist in “Transcendence,” a Carpenters-era vampire in “Dark Shadows,” a singing wolf, the Mad Hatter, Hunter S. Thompson and Jokes-With-a-Dead-Bird-on-Head (in the megabomb “The Lone Ranger”), his resistance to normalcy is growing tiresome.
The latest Depp bomb, “Mortdecai” — an alleged comedy about a mustache and the ninny who wears it — continues to dismantle the myth that the actor is one of the world’s biggest box-office attractions. No: Jack Sparrow is one of the world’s biggest box-office attractions, and that act has long since grown stale, too, though Depp is making yet another “Pirates” escapade.
He’s also doing an “Alice in Wonderland” sequel. Hey, why not “The Tourist 2” while you’re at it?
