Johnny Depp told children he'd eaten tip of his finger after questions about injury

Johnny Depp told a group of children he had eaten the tip of his own finger in a shocking unearthed interview.

The clip, shared by a fan on TikTok, shows the actor dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies as he visited children in hospital in 2015.

The 57-year-old had one of his fingers wrapped in a bandage.

He was asked by one of the children: "What happened to your finger?"

He replied: "My finger? I bruised it very badly. I ate it. I bit it off.

"I was starving!"

As the children chuckle around him, Depp adds: "I was, I was starving. I bit my finger, I ate it! The tip of it, just a little.

"The nail wasn't good."

The child interviewing him then shushed him and he turned to look at her, saying: "All right."

The fan who shared it on TikTok added the words "If only we knew then..." over the top of it.

Earlier this year, the injury was much-discussed at Depp's libel trial against News Group Newspapers after he sued them over a story published in The Sun in 2018 which labeled him a "wife beater".

Depp had vehemently denied the claims and said that it was Heard who was abusive to him - claims she then denied.

Pictures of his gruesome finger injury were shown in court and he alleged she had severed his finger during an explosive argument during a 2015 trip to Australia, while he was filming the franchise.

He claimed he needed hospital treatment after she hurled a glass vodka bottle at him.

He claimed that a row had broken out between them and he had gone into the bar in their rented home to escape.

Depp claimed he had broken his sobriety by downing a shot of vodka, which then prompted Heard to throw the bottle at him.

However, Heard claimed that Depp was high when he injured his finger by smashing a plastic phone against a wall.

After hearing all of the evidence, a judge at London's High Court found that Depp had beat Heard on 12 occasions.
