FROM THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER:
Johnny Depp Honored at Makeup Artists and Hairstylists Awards, Likes ‘Being Shocked Beyond Recognition’
The "Lone Ranger" star said jokingly of his award: "This is a great honor, but [while] I was occasionally glancing at the screen, I realized what a ridiculous thing I've done."
The 11th annual Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Awards (MUAHS Awards) returned Saturday — after a 10-year hiatus — recognizing the imagemakers behind 2013’s biggest films and TV shows and honoring The Lone Ranger star Johnny Depp.
The actor — who has been recognized in the past for completely altering his image for films (from Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise to Tonto in 2013’s The Lone Ranger) — was honored with the Distinguished Artisan Award. Depp’s makeup artist, Joel Harlow, presented him with the award.
“This is a great honor, but [while] I was occasionally glancing at the screen, I realized what a ridiculous thing I’ve done. I mean, seriously,” Depp said jokingly to the laughing crowd, upon receiving the award and referring to the short clip played, featuring his past film roles, before he stepped on stage. He added: “Why are they still giving me jobs?”
During his speech, Depp reflected on how he was originally a guitar player and needed money to fulfill his music dreams, so he took the role as terrified teen Glen Lantz in Wes Craven‘s A Nightmare on Elm Street. Through that acting gig, the actor realized he was a fan of makeup.
“He [Craven], who really took a chance on me, hooked me up with a guy named Dave Miller to take a mold of my face. I found, oddly enough, that I liked being encased in all that stuff,” said Depp. “I like being isolated to that degree. So the idea of being shocked beyond recognition, it’s kind of what I want. It’s what I strive for. I think trying something different each time as an actor, with the luxury [of having] amazing makeup artists has made my, whatever you call it, career.”
The award-winning actor went on to recognize his past (and current) makeup artists, with a shout-out to Ve Neill (Pirates of the Caribbean movies), who he called “his girl,” Patty York (Alice in Wonderland), and his longtime friend and collaborator Harlow (The Lone Ranger, Dark Shadows and Into the Woods).
The ceremony, held at Paramount Studios, was hosted by comedian Tom Arnold, with Glee‘s Jane Lynch, Nebraska‘s June Squibb and Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa‘s Johnny Knoxville among the evening’s presenters.
