Johnny Depp is an extremely private person. Therefore, the concept of him ever joining social media seemed like it would be nearly impossible. One of the things we have learned through these difficult times is that nothing is impossible anymore.
Case in point, the actor joined Instagram and had a very powerful message to share with the world. We need to help people through these dark and trying times. Even though it feels like our hands are tied behind our backs (which they are), we need to make time and care for others. We are going to get through this.
Since he cannot go out and secretly bring joy to others, he found a way to do it via social media. He revealed that he and Jeff Beck have been working on an album for over a year now. Even though the album is not ready to be released, they shared a song that is perfect for listening to, as we all are self-quarantining. That haunting tune is John Lennon’s Isolation.
Together, they modernized a song whose lyrics are timeless. It is the type of song where you stop whatever you are doing, close your eyes, and get lost in it. All you can do is appreciate the power of it. For a few minutes, everything that is bothering you just vanishes. All you do is feel the music and let it transport you to a safe place where there is no virus. A world where we can hug our loved ones, who are not able to be with us, and they can hug us back.
We need a few minutes to not be lost in our thoughts. That is Depp’s way of bringing us joy in a time when there doesn’t seem to be any.
Before he pressed stopped, he had one last thing to say to us. The actor said, “On a more personal note, thank you for your kindness, your unwavering support, and your strength over these years. I am touched beyond words.”
Finally, he promised, “I reckon there is more to come.” We need his calm voice in these hectic times and I hope he doesn’t wait too long to record another video. To see the first one, then click here!
Brothers In Arms is working on an unauthorized documentary about Platoon. They shared a little tidbit they got from one of the stars from the 1986 movie. They wrote, “Johnny Depp was always just one of the guys. He recently told me that around that period was the last time he could walk down the street in peace.”
I barely remember the movie Platoon, so that is why I forgot that Johnny Depp and Kevin Dillon also starred in it with Charlie Sheen, but they did. Yesterday, the three men reunited and this has to be the most epic photo of the month. Sorry Sir and Rumi Carter, you might be Beyonce’s twins, but you are no Depp and Sheen.
A lot has happened in the last 30 years to the three actors, as we know I do mean A LOT. Therefore, just imagine what that party must of been like. I do not think any of us can fathom what it was like because had to be off the charts and then some. Boy, do I wish I was there.
Hollywood Vampires are in San Fransisco for a gig on the 22nd, and during their time off they decided to see some of the sites there. One of those tourist attractions was Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary and Johnny Depp posed for a photo inside of Whitey Bulger’s cell. I can’t decide if prison agrees with him or not. But I do think he sexes up the place. What do you think?
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are getting a divorce just 15 months after they say I do. According to TMZ, she listed their day of their separation as Sunday, just three days after his mom passed away.
The two have no children, but they will always have that apology video that they made for the Australian Government. On that note, no word who gets the dogs. This might be a fighting point for the two of them since they don’t have a prenup.
You would never know Depp was going through so much pain because he seemed perfectly fine while doing press for Alice Through the Looking Glass this week.
