What Do You Think?


There is a story making the rounds today that Johnny Depp fended off a would be mugger and saved his friend outside a Los Angeles recording studio. The Sun is reporting that a man confronted one of Depp's friends with a broken bottle in his hand. The mugger asked for money and then Captain Jack showed up and the mugger said "I ain't stealing from Captain Jack." The guy then put down the bottle and Johnny gave the guy a few bucks and told him to straighten up his life.

Really? This all sounds like crap. I would love to have someone ask Johnny about this when he does press for The Tourist or some other project. The mugger was supposedly out of his mind, yet somehow he managed to recognize Captain Jack and suddenly didn't want any part of it. What do you think? True or not?

The link to The Sun story has disappeared. The headline is still there. Hmmmm.

The Sun regularly makes up stories and quotes. Not reliable.

If the story is made up, it's a dumb one. Sorry.

I say it's made up - since Johnny has been in Venice filming the Tourist with Angelina. I suppose he could have been in LA for the weekend, but was there anything going on in LA where he would have flown in only for a day or two?

The friend he was with is the singer with Babybird, and Johnny recorded with them earlier this year. Link to reprint of the Sun piece http://jam.canoe.ca/Movies/2010/05/03/13802416-wenn-story.html

Johnny's a pretty cool character, and he does give money to a lot of people. This could have happened months back, and the story leaked to give publicity for the album.

I'm thinking it's unlikely, as JD usually has security with him and they would have handled this.

I call bullshit, too. Blech! I don't really like him since the Roman Polanski thing. Sorry, I'm sure there will be JD defenders, but that really did ruin it for me.

Johnny Depp has the power to make the ladies swoon, to turn the men gay, to charm the birds from the trees, and to persuade the crackheads to lay down that pipe.

First, isn't Johnny is Venice filming that movie? But since they didn't specify a date, maybe it was before they left... even though he lives in France. But would Johnny be walking around dressed as Captain Jack?! I would be saying something like "oh my god/gosh! it's Johnny Depp!", and not really mention Capt Jack... but that's just me.
