He was the lead singer of Aiden, an emo punk band that was pretty popular in the 2000s. William Control is his stage name for a solo electronic project that became full time after Aiden disbanded.

Amber Heard made bank as Ariel the Little mermaid last year, while I struggle to recall Johnny Depp's last hit. Pirates 5 evidently was soft enough that they're going to reboot the thing without him. Grindlewald probably would have sucked without his output anyway. Tom Cruise may be vain but Depp is going to age terribly as his hedonism catches up with him. Edit: forgot the "anyway" Inspector Gesicht fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Mar 19, 2019 |

There was an article last year detailing how Depp is pissing away money at an alarming rate. He's likely to be Nic Cage broke in a few years.

Yeah, didn't he pay a metric fuckton of money for Hunter S. Thompson's ashes, just so he could shoot them out of a cannon? Dude is also reportedly a raging alcoholic.

Holy poo poo apparently Depp had 14 separate residences, and all together a full-time staff of 40 people. He was spending $300k a month just on paying his employees, and then another 150k a month for a full security team. With that kind of lifestyle you really need to be like a multi-billionaire with a serious income stream that goes beyond just making 20 mil every few years by making a movie. Otherwise the money is gonna run out extremely quick as soon as you have a rough patch.

I think he was also spending like $50k a month on wine. Hell, maybe it was $500k, I can't remember exactly but it was a very large number. edit: ok, it was actually a mere $30k a month, but he did apparently run up a $1 million bill at a wine store, so. wizardofloneliness fucked around with this message at 21:15 on Mar 19, 2019 |

I totally bag the future headline on Johnny Depp's debt, "Johnny Broke ." Jeremy Renner is nobody's favorite avenger, on account of his square-head, but the dude doesn't need to act to live in luxury since he flips houses on the side. Imagine how rich the athlete who majors in accounting is right now.

Wine is one of those things where there's no ceiling if you're rich enough, Brewster's Millions had that as a plot point that it's a very efficient way to waste money.

Johnny Depp was a guy determined to not be a regular movie star when he was young, who suddenly became one, embraced it and likely lost all connection to reality in the process. I remember Joe Rogan mentioning that him and Doug Stanhope were/are friends. What the gently caress would those two talk about now? Who's the steadying hand on the till? He's also, after years of not ageing at all, suddenly ageing very quickly and badly.

Johnny Depp is a good old boy from Kentucky who fell backwards into acting when his dream of being a rock star didn't work, but never shook the idea of wanting to be a rock star even when he became successful. The sad thing is that there was a time when Depp being in a movie was a good sign; he was a guy who didn't just do a project, there was always something of value in what he showed up in. And that period has a lot of great movies in it that work specifically because of his anti-movie star presence (Dead Man, for example). But then he made Pirates, got an Oscar nom for loving around, found out you can make a billion dollars like it ain't no thang, and cut the brake line.

He'd been aging for a while, it's just that he used more and more hats and scarves and bandanas and sunglasses and jewelry and canes, and whatever the gently caress else to distract everyone from the fact he wasn't 30 anymore. Eventually it got to the point where it's just obvious and sad. Being a raging alcoholic probably isn't helping things. I had a major crush on Johnny Depp when I was 12, right after Pirates of the Caribbean came out. I was super obsessed and watched all the movies of his I could find. Now it's just embarrassing to remember. All the other 12 year old girls were crazy about him too though, so at least it wasn't just me.

Johnny Depp was quite cool for the first portion of his career. The very first 'Nightmare on Elm St' had him playing the "semi-wholesome boyfriend" character, which was also his acting debut I think. And yeah, he SERIOUSLY did a ton of very cool movies with some very hip and talented auteurs. He did Dead Man with Jim Jarmusch, he did Cry-Baby with John Waters, and What's Eating Gilbert Grape (a kinda perfect silly '90s indie gem) with a VERY young Leo Dicaprio in his own breakout performance... OH! And of course he played Ed Wood in that movie, which is pretty underrated as a Tim Burton film - it's one of his least self-indulgent efforts. And of course, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas where he played Hunter S, Thompson's alter ego, the Gonzo Journalist Raoul Duke. I felt like that was and probably should still be the defining performance of his career. In many ways, Jack Sparrow probably has more 'Raoul Duke' in him than any other character Depp had played prior to that. I'd also say it was the first time where Depp really devoted himself to the role and lost himself while playing the character. In so many films you can see him skate by with his charisma and good looks, and his ability to flash dazzling smiles one minute and be dark and brooding the next. But with Duke he figured out a WHOLE FREAKING NEW way of approaching a character, and it shows in later work. I have to just add that my favorite Johnny Depp performance of all time is definitely Ichabod Crane in Sleepy Hallow. He admitted that he played Crane as if he were *literally* a 12-year-old schoolgirl, and it shows, and the results are truly fantastically weird.

If I became a billionaire, I'd probably do this along with becoming more and more reclusive out of sheer paranoia of people trying to steal my money or only wanting to hang out because of my money until I'd inevitably killed myself. Sort of like Notch only with suicide instead of racism.

Nah dud gently caress that and embrace the entourage lifestyle. It's like Chris Rock says in his new special "my friends tell me to get off Tindr, because women only want me because I'm Chris Rock... So? I AM Chris Rock!"

If I remember correctly from the interviews where it all got explained, he would just keep approving purchase after purchase of $2000 bottles of wine, artwork, yachts, sports cars, mansions, etc. to the point where the paperwork could barely keep up with him and it was just impossible to explain to him that he was hemorrhaging money so fast. Then when he found out he was millions of dollars in debt, he resisted selling anything and tried to blame his accountants and managers for his spending.

At first I was wondering how he could possibly spend that much on wine, like, wouldn't he just pass out at some point after, I don't know, 4 or 5 bottles in one go? But I forgot how loving expensive wine can get. Like, holy poo poo dude, if you drink that much, you're not drinking to enjoy the wine, just get the cheap poo poo, there's barely any difference anyway. Wine snobs confuse me.
