9 août 2013 - DAILY MAIL Johnny Depp Reveals he's not sure he Wants to be an Actor INTERVIEW

Description:

Johnny Depp was two weeks into filming The Lone Ranger — the £220 million remake of one of America’s most iconic Western shows — when he happened to catch a glance of himself in a mirror.

Covered in tattoos for his role as Comanche tribesman Tonto, wearing an Indian headdress topped off with a dead crow, and with four black ritual lines drawn on his face, he thought to himself: ‘What an extraordinary way for a grown man to make a living!’

‘It wasn’t the first time I’d thought this, and it won’t be the last,’ says Johnny, who is here for the opening of the film this week. ‘And that’s because acting is a strange job for a grown man.’

Today he is wearing a black T-shirt beneath a red lumberjack shirt, a plethora of medallions and necklaces, enough rings on his right hand to form a lethal knuckle-duster . . . and pink nail varnish. So, as flamboyant as ever.

He is clearly in contemplative mood, though, not only casting doubt upon the worthiness of his chosen profession, but suggesting a less than fulfilled relationship with acting.

‘Even now, I’m not sure whether I’ve developed a taste for acting — and I turned 50 this summer,’ he says. ‘Maybe I never will . . .

‘I went through a phase when I was genuinely surprised still to be receiving offers of work because not that many of the movies I was making were generating significant amounts of money at the box office.

‘Even on the first Pirates Of The Caribbean movie, I thought I was going to get fired. The studio bosses were clearly concerned about the way I was playing Captain Jack Sparrow.
