The Real Reason Johnny
Depp Used an Earpiece
on a Film Set
Description:
In a lengthy new report from Rolling Stone, Depp—between swigs of wine and puffs on multiple joints—opens up about his woes, the nasty legal imbroglio between him and his former business managers, Joel and Robert Mandel. While speaking about his finances, he also shed some light on his career as it currently stands—confirming that, among other things, he once kept a sound engineer on his payroll to feed him lines while shooting a film. This particular move is not as unusual as it sounds, at least for an actor at this stage of his career—but Depp, of course, found a way to Depp-ify the process. According to the actor, the sound engineer was hired not necessarily to feed him lines, but to pipe disturbing noises into his ear—a move Depp says helps him emote better on-screen.
“I’ve got bagpipes, a baby crying and bombs going off [over the earpiece],” he said. “It creates a truth. Some of my biggest heroes were in silent film. It had to be behind the eyes. And my feeling is, that if there’s no truth behind the eyes, doesn’t matter what the fucking words are.”
