Johnny Depp was one of the most celebrated actors at the height of his fame, and there was a lot more that the actor could have done with the appeal that he had garnered in Hollywood. One decision that the rising star took had his adviser really blowing his top off, given that it was not the kind of film that would make a career for Depp.

Johnny Depp has been a frequent collaborator with Tim Burton, who has delivered some of Depp’s career-defining roles during his time in Hollywood. However, his first stint with the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory director had his adviser chewing him out, for what seemed like a very dumb decision.
Johnny Depp’s advisor thought he was wiling away his A-list stardom
Johnny Depp’s advisor was very taken by Depp’s first collaboration with Tim Burton, in that they were very, very angry that thePirates of the Caribbeanalum decided to doEd Wood. As reported byThe Rolling Stonesmagazine, he said:
The guy told me, ‘Johnny, it is not about you doing black-and-white movies about a cross-dressing, D-movie director – it’s about f*ing the girl and carrying the gun. You need to fk the girl, and you need to carry a gun.’

However, even after taking on the role inEd Wood, which would become one of his most iconic characters, Depp would go on to star in a multitude of films, including ThePirates of the Caribbeanfranchise, which would become the highlight of the actor’s career.
Johnny Depp might not be playing Jack Sparrow anymore, but that does not prevent him from surprising children
Johnny Deppmight not be interested in playing Captain Jack Sparrow for Disney, but the actor has no qualms about putting on his pirate costume for children. Visiting a children’s hospital in Spain late last month, the actor dressed as Jack Sparrow, as he often does, to entertain and have fun with children at the hospital, reported People Magazine.

Depp has been known for his philanthropic work when it comes to children, often vising these hospitals as Captain Jack Sparrow, the role that has practically become synonymous with him ever since the success of thePirates of the Caribbeanfilms, based on the ride of the same name at Disneyland.
