@Nedd Flanders Johnny Depp was present at Hunter's private funeral, along with Bill Murray, Jack Nicholson, Sean Penn, Senators John Kerry and George McGovern.

There's a really important dynamic that needs to exist in order for an interview to work well. Famous TV interviewers often say that the key is listening, but it's more than that. The interviewee has to be willing to talk in the first place, which is why TV interviews so often seem clunky. Usually the guest is there purely because they are promoting a product, often after weeks of similar appearances and junkets. But in a situation like this, you know that Lawrence has an immediate head start because they are there to talk and listen and learn and enjoy. They have time and inclination to let it unfold.

[@cowboysfan782008]

A lot of armchair quarterbacks ripping on Johnny here but overall I think he deserves some credit. If you know anything about him his family moved something like 15 times when he was a kid, and I don't think his dad was ever much of a part in his life, which is tough when you are a boy. He comes out to Hollywood in the very early 80s with his band and meets Nick Cage (Who's real name is Nick Coppola), who gets him into acting. Has a part in Nightmare On Elm Street in 84' then Platoon in 86' then hits it huge with 21 Jump Street then to the top from there. What I'm getting at is for a guy with humble beginnings he's an awesome A list actor who was superb in every role I've ever seen him in, and he's also true to his beliefs and turned down stuff that didn't have substance. He's also damn likable, and not full of himself and that is why Hunter, Brando, and others who normally didn't get close to many ppl liked Johnny Depp. Too many ppl are too quick to judge!

Hope Johnny recovers from all the bullcrap he's been dealing with

[@bigloudogtv2675]

I forgot Johnny Depp played him in the movie, too much acid

[@Zlikken]

how could you forget i remember everything perfectly on acid, for about 12 hours atleast :p

[@jakobchristensen7860]

@@Zlikken dropped 1200uq last week, barley remember anything was worst bad trip i ever had. Ever.

[@NapalmAtSunrise]

Played him in two movies really

[@jakobchristensen7860]

@@Digger581 haha, yeah i got lots of experience with psychedelics. But this time was the most potent acid ive ever got, probly overdosed tabs. And I got stuck in a closet with my friend, we both could not see The door and it felt like an eternity. Sometimes i had to say are you still there so i could hear his voice in back of my head so i would know i was still in the closet with him

Depp Looks like he's had a rough couple of years.

jonasvm88 hes well aware of that.his 3d wristwatch is probably set 2 min later than the other ones on his wrist.anything to be eccentric is his fashion.johnny depp shit

[@holdencaulfield4291]

Talk about how he came about the red shoes

[@hrs1414]

As great as this interview is, I cant get passed just how badly Depp wants to speak with an English accent. Every other word you can see the Jack Sparrow coming out lmfaoo

[@ollie2244]

Jack Sparrow's supposed to be English?

[@DissidentThoughts]

@@ollie2244 yes he based the accent off Keith Richard's

[@thephantomraspberryblower2675]

I'm English, he sounds like a yank to me.

past

[@leec6424]

You are so uneducated. I'm 52 and I've lived in London for 12 years and also Miami for 8 years and Brisbane for 5 years and Johannesburg for 3 so my accent is all over the place and I was born in Leeds.

[@briansullivan8610]

Johnny Depp. Always in character

[@kgoodridge1]

Kind of frightening, don't you think?

[@MrPickle21100]

Besides being a wonderful story, I really love the almost tilt shift angle of the audience

[@jessejeppesen1740]

Notice the red shoes

[@starseer3209]

Krauss has his red human leather shoes

What kind of leather are thoes red shoes made of ??? 🤔

Reading to someone with expression makes passion in the story.I had one good teacher in all my 18 years of classrooms.5th grade Mrs Gatewood read the Hobbit.I was hooked then and have never stopped.

[@Fortyball]

And if you look to your left you will see Hunter giving Johnny lessons in the prosody, dynamics and delivery of Gonzo.

[@tanyaratti]

Red Shoes?
