Interesting Easter eggs from films and behind the scenes with the exceptional Johnny Depp (16 photos)

Actor Johnny Depp has a huge fan base, and it's entirely deserved, as Depp puts his best into all of his varied roles. Some features and nuances, not noticeable to the viewer at first glance, were noticed by his loyal fans.





"Pirates of the Caribbean"

There were many interesting moments during the filming of Pirates of the Caribbean. So, in the second part of the series, Depp performs the song “I’ve Got A Jar Of Dirt,” which he composed right while filming the scene. Therefore, the surprise of the other actors is not fake.



And in the first part of “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl,” Johnny threw leather hats into the sea so often that, so that they would not sink and Depp would not lose them, they began to make them rubber.





By the way, in the entire film series, Jack Sparrow has a red spot on his cheekbone. So the actor and make-up artists joked, showing the pirate’s syphilis.



Few people have noticed that since the third film, Captain Jack Sparrow has contracted his mother's withered head. Yes, it hangs from his belt.



Johnny Depp is a big fan of tattoos, which is not very typical for a pirate. To hide them, the make-up artist specially painted coal spots during filming.

"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"

Many people have noticed that in the movie "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" Willy Wonka constantly smiles like the Cheshire Cat. This is a special plot feature, because as a child, Willie’s father-dentist straightened his teeth and, due to psychological trauma, the already adult Wonka strove to show a white-toothed smile.



Many people remember the scene from the film where 40 squirrels crack nuts. This isn't CGI - the filmmakers actually trained these squirrels to inspect nuts, crack them, and then throw them onto a conveyor belt. It took 4 months.



Facts about other films

In the film Sleepy Hollow, Depp rode a horse called Goldeneye, who only had one eye. After filming, it was sent to auction. The actor also showed up and bought the horse at the highest price.



Johnny Depp loves the Harry Potter universe so much that he agreed to play in Fantastic Beasts without even looking at the script.



The film Edward Scissorhands is the first collaboration between Depp and Tim Burton, and the actor persuaded Winona Ryder to play the main role with him, although the actress had already signed a contract to star in The Godfather.



In Dark Shadows, where Depp played a vampire, the filmmakers used computer graphics to remove all the moments where the actor blinks.



Depp performs many of his own stunts. For his role in the film Donnie Brasco, the actor even took shooting lessons from the FBI.



Depp is very ashamed to admit this, but in the film “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape” the young actor actually mocked the boy Leonardo DiCaprio. At the same time, he noted his talent.



Depp loves live action, which is why he hated chromakey during the filming of Alice in Wonderland.



And in The Lone Ranger, Johnny's relationship with the horse did not work out. He fell from the saddle and she dragged him several meters along the ground, simultaneously hitting him in the ribs with her hoof.



And finally. Perhaps Depp should have abandoned filming the film “The Rum Diary” altogether, because it was there that he first met Amber Heard, who sued him several years ago and the investigation is still ongoing.
