Johnny Depp doesn’t care if his movies flop
By Tribute on November 27, 2014 | 2 Comments
Johnny Depp, 51, who stars in the upcoming musical film Into the Woods, has decided he doesn’t care if his movies flop because he has liberated himself from the expectations and criticisms previously placed on himself and his projects. In an interview with Details magazine the Golden Globe winner explained,”First, I reached a point where I cared so much and was so diligent in terms of approaching the work. Then you get to where you care so f–king much that it gets goddamn beleaguering, you know? But then a great thing happens. Suddenly you care enough to not give a f–k, because not giving a f–k, that’s the total liberation. Being game to try anything.”
Despite Johnny’s recent happy-go-lucky attitude he recalls the pressures to create successful blockbusters that studios expect when casting him, largely due to his hit franchise The Pirates of the Caribbean. “It’s like being a dog at the track,” Johnny revealed, adding,”They expect you to live up to some race you happened to be in and won accidentally. From that first second, you’re nothing more than a commodity. They have expectations of another Pirates. It’s great if something works. Boy, that’s killer. But God, to have that as your design… it’s ugly, I think.” ~Janine Wyslobicky

Probably a good attitude to take considering how poorly his films have done lately.
Because he has what we call “eff you” money from Pirates. What diff does it make to him BUT if he’s no longer bankable, he puts all the other people (including crew) in his movies at job risk.
Honestly, Deppster, you haven’t made a decent movie since maybe 2009’s Public Enemies so it’s not like we haven’t noticed you could give two effs about your box office returns.
