Johnny Depp’s Preparation For His Movie Roles
Famously known for his role as Jack Sparrow in Disney’sPirates of the Caribbean, Johnny Depp often pushes his limits for his performance. Apart from body transformation, Depp is known for going the extra mile for his roles. Trying to embody his film characters most authentically, the actor is even heard making permanent changes to his body.
This is indeed the level of preparation that goes intoJohnny Depp‘s movies, which is why his films often turn out to be blockbusters. But in this wild process of preparation, the actor at times loses his own personality and ends up confusing his fans and co-stars. Something similar happened after his 2015 movie.

Johnny Depp Almost Had a Dialect Confusion
Being originally from Kentucky, it is quite difficult to understand Johnny Depp’s ethnicity through his accent. It’s because the actor’s accent often goes from Bostonian, to Australian, to god knows what else. And apparently, this happened because of Depp’s one rule, that he follows while preparing for a movie.
During his interview withToday, alongsideJoel Edgerton, while promotingBlack Mass,the actor revealed what he wants from a role. Discussing how he wants to be completely different in his movies than his original self, the actor appears to be losing his own personality.
“The last thing I want to look like is myself. Yeah. I always felt it was important to escape. I always figured if I did the same thing over and over, I’ll not only bore myself but I’ll bore the audience. You know.”
Thus, Depp impressively transformed himself into his onscreen character. This although led him to have dialect confusion, the actor undoubtedly delivered a phenomenal performance.
WatchBlack Masson Max.
