Johnny Depp Vanity Fair November 2011: Compares Fame To Rape; Talks Scientology

October 4, 2011 by Hollywoodite

Johnny Depp covers Vanity Fair November 2011 in his second VF cover this year. Last time, he was promoting The Tourist. This time, he’s promoting his upcoming movie The Rum Diary ahead of its release this month on October 28.

He’s throwing people with whom he’s worked under the bus, he’s talking indirectly about his earnings, he’s bragging, and he’s comparing the experience of being pampered on a professional photo shoot to the act of being sexually assaulted.

Yep.

On working as much as he can right now: “Basically, if they’re going to pay me the stupid money right now, I’m going to take it. I have to. I mean, it’s not for me. Do you know what I mean? At this point, it’s for my kids. It’s ridiculous, yeah, yeah. But ultimately is it for me? No. No. It’s for the kids.”

On making money during his early days in Hollywood by attending Scientology study groups for $3: “I went to a bunch, man. It was so great, it was so fantastic.”

On the lack of support for 2004′s The Libertine from Harvey Weinstein: “Harvey killed a great film.”

On photo shoots: “You just feel like you’re being raped somehow. Raped. The whole thing. It feels like a kind of weird… just weird, man. Whenever you have a photo shoot or something like that, it’s like… you just feel dumb. It’s just so stupid.” – via Vanity Fair Magazine.
