Johnny Depp: Acting Gay

Depp recounted the well-documented story that he was almost fired from the set of the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie because his outlandish performance as Jack Sparrow initially had Disney executives worried.

“It trickled back to me somehow that, ‘Goddammit, Johnny Depp’s ruining the film! What is that thing? Is it drunk, is it gay?” Depp recalled a specific meeting with someone from “the upper echelon of the studio”. “‘What the fuck are you doing?’” he remembered the person asking. “When they asked if it was gay, I said: ‘Didn’t you know all my characters are gay?’”

Guardian Film - Depp was talking at some American movie thing.

Hey dude, we all knew Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, JM Barrie, Willy Wonka and The Lone Ranger were gay.
