Johnny Depp received a seven-minute standing ovation at this year’s Cannes Film Festival before telling Hollywood to go pound sand when he sat down for a rare interview. Depp said:
“I don’t feel boycotted by Hollywood, because I don’t think about Hollywood. I don’t have much further need for Hollywood, myself. It’s a strange, funny time where everybody would love to be able to be themselves, but they can’t.
“They must fall in line with the person in front of them. If you want to live that life, I wish you the best.” Depp said most of what’s been written about him in recent years “fantastically, horrifically written fiction.”
“It’s like asking the question: ‘How are you doing?’ But the subtext is, ‘God, I hate you,’” said Depp.
He continued:
“What if one day, they did not allow me to go to McDonald’s for life because somewhere there’d be 39 angry people watching me eat a Big Mac on a loop?
“Who are they?
“What do they care?
“Some kind of species, some tower of mashed potatoes, covering the light on their computer screen. Anonymous.
“With apparently less free time.
“I don’t think we should be worried. People should really think about what it’s all about. Really.
“I’ve had my 17th comeback, apparently.
“I keep wondering about the word ‘comeback.’
“I didn’t go anywhere.
“As a matter of fact, I live about 45 minutes away.
“Maybe people stopped calling out of whatever their fear was at the time.
“But I didn’t go nowhere,” he said.
Johnny Depp: “Did I feel boycotted by Hollywood?…When you’re asked to resign from a film you’re doing because of something that is merely a function of vowels and consonants floating in the air, yes you feel boycotted.” https://t.co/VIiTdGy6dP #Cannes pic.twitter.com/Xjz2IfinDu
