Johnny Depp, scarfy in Berlin, admits creating characters with Barbies

Johnny Depp

These are photos of Johnny Depp looking uncomfortable and scarfy at the Berlin photocall for the ill-advised Mortdecai. So many scarves! He must realize the scarf addiction has reached mainstream humor heights. Maybe? The dude is chucking about something in these pics. I’d feel better if we learned that Johnny’s current state is the result of a decades-long performance art piece. He’s resembling the real-life version of the Eddie Rebel character (from the the Tom Petty video), especially when it comes to the HFAs incident.

As Kaiser noted on Friday, Johnny hasn’t done much shilling for this movie. He doesn’t “give a f*** anymore, so he let Gwyneth Paltrow do all the heavy lifting. Goop wasted all her good dish upon this movie that no one will watch. But Johnny showed up for Berlin and posed with Paul Bettany on the red carpet. If anything saves this movie, it will be the international market. Germany still likes him, but not as much as China does.

Johnny did visit Jimmy Kimmel last week. He talked about things that he’s covered a million times already. Stuff like Hunter S Thompson, Marlon Brando, and Keith Richards. He also admitted developing characters by playing Barbies with daughter Lily-Rose: “I used to test characters on her. Using Barbies. Willy Wonka, Captain Jack, um, there was another one I can’t remember. One day, she just decided, ‘Dad, just do normal.’” He added, “I’ve got a lot of Barbies in storage.” You can see that video here. Now for more hot scarf action. Johnny changed into a trenchcoat for the premiere because he’s so cool.

    Would have been nice if Jonny had washed his hair, and possibly worn clean clothes .

    • Arock says:

      Yet took the time to apply foundation. It must take a huge chunk of the afternoon to do wonton scarf placement.

    • QQ says:

      I feel like you are expecting too much.. like Clean Teeth and stuff and that’s just not a thing that is gonna happen

  2. captain hero says:

    I do like his sunglasses

  3. lisa2 says:

    His teeth, I think that is why he never smiles much and mumbles.. He is hiding his teeth.

    I can deal with a lot of things from men. But if you have a bad inside mouth that is a turn off to me. If you don’t take care of your teeth.. I thought it was just for that Jack Sparrow character, but no it is not. He has horrible teeth.

    It would be nice to see him in an outfit that actually fits. Tailored for his body type. I don’t know if I have ever seen that before.

  4. Lama Bean says:

    Don’t shoot me, but I swear I don’t see anything attractive about this man. I do not understand how he is/was considered a sex symbol.

  5. Ann says:

    I saw a short interview of him on German television today and he was struggling with forming a sentence. His publicist looked mortified. He was either drunk or high and it was in the morning.

  6. Lilacflowers says:

    He’s talked about the Barbies before too. During the Charlie & the Chocolate Factory PR, he talked about how he used them to practice the voice.

  7. kri says:

    We are nearing Hazmat -level mess here, people. Come on, Johnny! Put down the barbies (Marilyn& Amber), pick up a tooth brush, take a shower, and f*cking pull it together. He was so gorgeous, and now he has become a caricature of his characters. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I feel sorry for Amber.

    • anon says:

      Is it mid-life crisis ? He lost his good looks and he can’t deal with it?
      The other week there was a photo of Brad and Gwinnie from 20 years ago and they were both so beautiful. They don’t look like that anymore, but they are still very presentable and attractive.
      But Johnny never grew up. He is 50 y.o. but behaves like he is still 25 y.o.

      • Sara says:

        Johnny couldn’t care less about his looks. He has always hated his good looks and I don’t see how he’s acting like he is still 25 yo.

  8. scout says:

    He looks way better/normal here than other times, thank God. I don’t understand him at all, he looks like a good, kind person. What does he want to do in life to make him really happy and peaceful? He has almost everything a guy can ask for at his age.

  9. Lia says:

    Paul Bettany is walking in behind him. THAT is a gorgeous man.

  10. zut alors! says:

    Those teeth are giving me nightmares, they look like wooden stumps. He doesn’t have to have them whitened or even have veneers, but why do they look like they’ve never been to the dentist?

  11. Cupcake says:

    His hotness is all gone. I still would but I would be thinking about him from years ago.

  12. ElleV says:

    His daughter nailed it in three words: Just do normal. Truth!

    • Forthelasttime says:

      Yes! She’s probably tired of seeing him high all the time. You know how kids get SO EMBARRASSED by parents!!!

    • venus velvet says:

      I wonder if he knows who he is, without a character to borrow or hide behind. He seems lost.

  13. Jackson says:

    The man does love his layers. I see a long sleeved knit shirt, a long sleeved button-down, AND a vest hiding under innumerable layers of scarves. How tedious it must be for him to dress every morning.

  14. Ummm says:

    My first thought was “dirty, unwashed, and high as f—! Honestly think he has never “cleaned up” – physically or drug-wise. And I think Bamber is as bad as he is – they feed off each other’s weaknesses. Just my take…

  15. Lita says:

    Damn! I thought it was Tim Burton in that last picture with the trench.

  16. Dree says:

    Besides the teeth.He’s put on a lot of weight. He is now a short chubby man. My childhood crush is all gone.

  17. Beep says:

    Time for a new hairstyle… It looks good on Miyavi but not Johnny. A dentist visit would be nice. I bet people standing close when he talks feel sick by the smell. Rotten teeth = bad breath

  18. Forthelasttime says:

    Bedhead, IMO the layers, scarves etc serve as some sort of an armour against the scrutiny he feels he’s under ever since he left his family. I think he’s hugely insecure about his decisions of late and I bet he’s judging himself just as much as all his fans.

    • Sara says:

      Left his family? How did he “leave” his family when they are living with him in LA? His daughter worked with him on two movies recently.

      • Forthelasttime says:

        Yes – left his family. As in when he left Vanessa Paradis for that wretched wannabe Amber because he wants to believe nothing’s changed since he was in his twenties/thirties.

  19. Valois says:

    No, we do not like him here in Germany. Nobody cares about him.
