Roma went crazy for Johnny Depp (and his lookelike)
Rome Film Festival, Johnny Depp arrives and the city goes crazy. Blocked by fans in the hotel, he criticizes Hollywood, confesses his greatest success (children) and crosses his looquian
Rome Film Festival: Johnny Depp finally arrives. And the city goes crazy. The actor showed up on the red carpet, where he was expected to talk about the animated web series Puffins (in which he gives the voice and is the model for one of the feathered protagonists, Johnny Puff) an hour and a half late due to the assault of fans in his hotel. A sign that despite everything, the passing age, the bad trial of which he was the protagonist, the accusations of physical and psychological violence made by his ex-wife Amber Heard, the most rebellious and outsider star of Hollywood, at 58, is still very loved.
And Johnny lent himself with irony and lightness to the press conference, where he joked with the audience and his historic translator, told about himself, fiercely criticized Hollywood and confessed his greatest success: the children Lily Rose and Jack, had by Vanessa Paradis.
Rome Film Festival, Johnny Depp: "I'm not interested in Hollywood" "Hollywood is a vacation spot, I don't care, there's a big lack of knowledge there, I want to work in movies with people who have something to say". So the actor commented harshly, who arrived at the Rome Film Festival to talk about the animated web series Puffins (in which he gives the voice and is the model for one of the feathered protagonists, Johnny Puff), presented in the context of Alice in the city.
Rome Film Festival, Johnny Depp: "The fatigue of the beginnings to find its way" During the "masterclass" on Sunday, October 17, an hour in which Johnny Depp answered the questions of the audience present, flocking to listen to his idol, the actor told his not always easy path within the Hollywood film industry, which has always been tight for a rebel like him. "One should not bite the hand that feeds him, however.. As a boy I had practically managed to snatch a contract for seven years with a TV show, but in two and a half years I did everything to get kicked out, even managing to end up in jail accidentally, because I had the precise feeling that it had become an empty product. Finally I got the news that they had freed me from the constraint, and I kept getting proposals and scripts practically based on the same stereotypical formula. It wasn't what I was looking for, if it was the condition to be an actor. I could have been a bricklayer or a gas station attendant. I finally got the chance to go to "Cry Baby". Then I realized that I could set foot on solid ground, made for me. With "Edward Scissor Hands" I was able to put both feet".
Rome Film Festival, Depp: away from Hollywood, to help young voices "My daily work gave me the opportunity above all, for the actor I was, to face different challenges for the characters, who were generally welcomed with great joy by the public" he says, talking about his appeal to the public, who also rushed to the auditorium first thing in the morning to wait for him. At this point "of my way - he adds - I am grateful to be far from the (Hollywood) machine that spits jokes, structured formulas, stereotypes. In making films I'm not interested in the great director or the great actor but I want to help people who start the stories from simple elements. I'm more interested in helping maybe a fifteen-year-old author find his voice, even shooting a movie with a mobile phone. A goal that is not possible in Hollywood.”
Rome Film Festival, Johnny Depp: "My greatest success" Finally, to those who ask him what he considers his greatest success, he answers for sure. "My children".
Rome Film Festival: "Johnny Depp touches his looman" Among the many VIPs who arrived to pay homage to Johnny Depp, also the comedian presenter Francesca Manzini with her boyfriend, Johnny Depp's Italian loomalike, Marco Scimia. And to see them furry the red carpet together, it was really hard to distinguish the real from the "copy"..
