Crazy revelations from Johnny Depp’s Rolling Stone interview

Johnny Depp gave an interview to Rolling Stone and it’s as bonkers as you might expect.

In the story, published Thursday, reporter Stephen Roderick said it had taken 200 emails to get in a room with Depp, who indicated he was ready to “bare his soul about his empty bank accounts.”

The veteran actor, 55, is locked in a legal battle with his former business managers over his dwindling fortune. Last year, he sued The Management Group for $25 million, alleging the company mismanaged nearly $400 million through fees he didn’t agree to, incurring late fees via delinquent income tax filings and making loans to themselves and members of his entourage that he didn’t approve. TMG promptly countersued him, saying he frittered away his own money on extravagances and ignored warnings.

If his intention for the interview (arranged by Depp’s lawyer Adam Waldman, an American consultant with ties to Vladimir Putin) was to counteract the notion that he’s out of touch with reality it’s not clear he succeeded.

Read for yourself: Here are a few of the most notable revelations from the story.

Depp had no idea he was behind on his taxes

“I just had no clue,” the actor told Roderick, who observed the tax discussion was “one of the few moments when he looked genuinely worried” about his financial situation.

He accused TMG of paying his taxes late for 13 consecutive years, thereby incurring $6 million in late fees

Depp continued, “If you’re knowingly not paying the United States government taxes, somebody is gonna (expletive) catch up with you and hand you a bill and you’ll probably go to the pokey.”

His accountants lowballed some of his most extravagant expenses

“It’s insulting to say that I spent $30,000 on wine,” says Depp of one of the more wasteful expenditures noted in the TMG lawsuit.

The same goes for the rocket he used to launch the ashes of Hunter S. Thompson into the sky. “By the way, it was not $3 million to shoot Hunter into the (expletive) sky,” he noted. “It was $5 million.”

He’s sorry quaaludes went out of style

Depp expressed remorse that that the prescription sedative isn’t as available for recreational use as it was once.

He told the magazine that when you took quaaludes, “you either wanted to smile and just be happy with your pals, or (ex- pletive), or fight.”

He would have used LSD instead of Seal Team Six on Osama bin Laden

“You get a bunch of (expletive) planes, big (expletive) planes that spray (expletive), and you drop LSD 25,” he says.

He roomed with a robber and gave his roommates scabies

Depp recalled coming home from a cheap hotel to the flophouse he shared with roommates during his early days in L.A. Within hours he said, everyone was scratching themselves furiously.

“I gave everyone scabies,” Depp said. “You know how hard it is to tell your roommates that?”
