He Is Usually Drunk When He Says This

[Blind Gossip] This franchise actor has had his share of ups and downs. Right now… it’s the downs.

He is an alcoholic and a drug addict. His money problems and legal problems and relationship problems and management problems and health problems and substance abuse problems are all now converging in an overwhelming way. It’s like he is sword fighting multiple opponents at once.

So, how is he holding up? Not well!

He is very depressed, which only makes him want to drink more, which makes him even more depressed. He keeps talking about [offing himself] but since he’s usually drunk when he says it, it’s hard to tell if it’s him or the alcohol talking.

Nothing to do with Mandy Patinkin. We just like this scene from The Princess Bride.

    Depp. I saw a picture of him recently and he looks just awful. From appearances it looks like he will be dead in 5 years, but I don’t know. Sometimes it seems the people I’m sure will be dead soon are the ones who manage to keep kicking on, while the ones who go abruptly/too soon I never was expecting.

    Johnny Depp?

    I LOVE The Princess Bride. That is
    definitely my favorite scene in the movie. Probably my favorite movie, if I had to pick one.

  5. bbatty says

    I think this is Johnny Depp.

    Hard to tell where he will be in five years. Hollywood is pretty forgiving of famous male actors.

  6. TwinklyK says

    Johnny Depp
    Addiction is a horrible disease that requires the person afflicted to fight for themselves. If he doesn’t choose to fight for his life he probably won’t have one in five years.

    Been lurking forever, finally making myself post.

  7. lvsoxfan says

    This is Johnny Depp and this is sad. Such a talented guy who needs to be sober and needs to clean up his finances. It would be very much like him to want to go out in a “blaze of glory” and end it himself. He needs real friends to step in.

  12. Holleva says

    This is very sad, come on Jonny Depp sort yourself out. Go and get the help you so obviously need.

    Actor: Johnny Depp

    [Optional] OD or dead from alcholol posioning. From what i experinced the things drunk people say are usually their truth on how they feel but didnt have the gall to say it while sober. They call it liquid courage for a reason. You have two children not even 20 yet. Think beyond yourself for once, hard to do when youre famous actor and people blow your ego all the time.
    Also being 55yrs old you still cant keep “partying” like 25yr old. of course your health is bad.

  14. aaaadara says

    Johnny Depp, or is it Jack Sparrow at this point?
    Optional: I don’t think he’ll be around another 5 yrs without a serious intervention.

  18. Maggie71 says

    Definitely Johnny Depp – it’s hard to feel sorry for a guy who was so rich he bought his own island, and is now pleading poverty. I used to love him, but he beat his wife and then got his friends to try to gaslight her in public, so I now have no respect for him at all.

  21. mattaharpy says

    Mr Depp.

    I hope having sought help and another path, we find a clean and sober Johnny loving life.

  25. FredFlintstone says

    Mr Depp. In 5 years? 70/30 dead or lost in Nic Cage type obscurity.
    He does not live in reality and depression , booze and drugs are a pretty lethal combo.

  27. Snipercam says

    Johnny Depp

    Prob hopping from one 25 year old to the next & flogging his Captain Jack charactrr to death

  30. sophsmummy says

    Jonny Depp.

    Sadly I can see him no longer being with us unless he gets Recovery in his life.

  37. suzyQ888 says

    Obviously, Johnny Depp.
    He’s been propped up for years…I don’t see him lasting much longer but that seems to be his fantasy. I wish people would stop piling on him though. It’ sad how once people felt he’s no longer worthy of admiration he’s just fodder. That’s not fair.

  39. GretaGuesses says

    Johnny Depp

    If he doesn’t get help, it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s dead within five years. He looks terrible!

  40. droopyorchid says

    Sadly it’s Johnny Depp

    Surrounded with yes men, nobody will stop him from his current behaviour or pull him up on it.

    Dead in 5 years or heart attack.

  44. aaaemmyk says

    Johnny Depp.

    In five years? On his next marriage, in another Tim Burton film, or dead.

  47. luvprue1 says

    Actor: Johnny Depp

    Optional: Where do I think the actor going to be in the next five year? Dead, or jail.

  48. aaaLomme says

    Johnny Depp.

    Hopefully he will have gotten some help by then. Either that or dead.

  51. pflower says

    Ben affleck, in 5 years nothing much would have changed other than a few rehan stints and relapses

  57. BrittLaney89 says

    Gotta be Johnny Depp or Johnny Debt as his accountants probably know him as

  59. CuriousNewt says

    Johnny Depp. He’s an absolute mess, broken and beyond caring about personal hygiene, or the ways in which others perceive him – either as fans, or those who condemn him for his shocking treatment of Amber Heard, of his security, directors etc – and if he doesn’t get help very soon, it’ll be Good Night Irene.

  61. mermaidh2 says

    Ha! Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya! Love the reference. I have no idea who the actor is…but i’m leaning toward Sean Bean. The swordfighting thing and all. It doesn’t say he’s currently in a franchise, and he was in LOTR and Game of Thrones and was pretty recently spotted getting drunk by himself outside of a London pub.

  70. EmmaIsmael says

    Actor: Johnny Depp

    [Optional] Where do you think our actor is going to be in five years? Whoever this might be, I hope he takes time to better himself; anyone who talks about offing himself in any state needs to be observed! Wish him all the best, I hope he finds peace during his lifetime.

  74. lovetheblazer says

    Johnny Depp or Jonathan Rhys Meyers (who was just arrested again and admitted to relapsing from alcohol addiction not long ago). Franchise makes me think it’s Depp though.

  78. amagod121 says

    (Agree with your opinion of the Mandy Patinkin pic, Ace!)

    Johnny Depp is my guess. He is in a bad, bad way. I hope he goes for help for the depression and drinking.

    I don’t want to go there on the optional question. Too scary!

  84. davidronaldgood says

    Johnny Depp

    Hopefully, out of the public eye, I’m tired of hearing him whine.

  86. sim1fun says

    actor: Johnny Depp
    optional: 5 years, dead, if he keeps it up…or maybe he’ll be like the Rolling Stones dudes and never die.

  88. JHntr113 says

    Jonathan Rhys Meyers. I hope he gets help. He’s pretty great in everything he’s in, including his current role in Vikings as Bishop Heahmund

  89. gailpow says

    Actor: Johnny Depp
    Hope he cleans up and gets sober. Sell everything he can for cash, find a nice, sincere honey and try to rebuild his life. Johnny Depp is so talented; it’s a shame all this woe has fallen upon him.

  90. Midian says

    Johnny Depp because all of those fit and the piratey looking picture.

    Hopefully not dead.

  98. madalaine says

    Actor: Johnny Depp

    [Optional] Where do you think our actor is going to be in five years? Dead

  107. badgerette85 says

    Johnny Depp
    Recently punched a crew member in drunken state
    Dead or hopefully recovered addict.

  116. nikkimermaid says

    Poor Jonny Depp, so sad. His life has not been the say since he left the mother of his children.

  117. ivy3499 says

    Johnny Depp. I would hope that he gets himself together in five years but not sure it will be a happy ending for him.

  118. Monysmom says

    Jonathan Rhys Meyers
    sadly, I don’t think he will be with us in 5 years but I really hope he can beat his addiction(s) /

  119. ashleyb234 says

    Johnny Depp

    Maybe he should try being HONEST with himself and the world. He’s a liar, alcholic and a domestic abuser. hes only digging himself into deeper * by lying and trying to pretend as though he’s this innocent person and people are out to get him.. no

  128. nycmadam says

    Johnny Depp

    He’ll be too much of an addict to make movies anymore. What a shame.

  132. DesiGirl says

    Actor: JOHNNY DEPP

    [Optional] Where do you think our actor is going to be in five years? Hopefully healthy and well.

  135. Parade says

    Johnny Depp, of course.

    I can’t even guess though there’s three options. He could flame out and die, he could also rise from the ashes like a phoenix or more likely, he’ll continue his decline and linger for years as a shadow of his younger self.

  145. happilydazed says

    Actor: Johnny Depp

    Optional: in five years I’ll be shocked if he is still alive. Between that divorce, him beating up Amber Heard, that Rolling Stones interview where they basically roasted him and mentioned the serious money and drug/drinking issues he has, him saying he might off himself might happen. Especially now after he was just accused of punching someone on set in the face.

    • Rhett72 says

      Johnny never hit Amber. The police saw no evidence he hit her, and then her magically moving “bruise” appeared in photos days later, always in different spots on her face. Amber is a grifter who pushed him over the edge, leading him to this terrible place. I pray he heals from this dark moment in his life.

  149. Pudding says

    Johnny Depp.

    In five years – well, between the Fantastic Beasts franchise and the Captain Sparrow one, I think he’ll still be working, but hopefully with better control of his finances. Sadly, it’ll likely be more of the same only also married to another gold digger looking for her share of the pie.

  151. Baileygirl says

    Ben Affleck.
    In five years he will have accepted that he cannot drink in safety and embrace sobriety and be back with Jen or he will be on the verge of death with advanced cirrhosis.

  155. lec1230 says

    Johnny Depp –

    A) it sounds like him &
    B) I think the picture is meant to resemble Jack Sparrow

  157. CallmeCrazy says

    Johnny Depp

    In five years? He’ll still be working. Wearing ridiculous scarves. But working and looking 10 years older than he is.

  159. GatorGirl says

    I’m gonna guess Johnny Depp with sword fighting referring to Pirates of the Carribean

  161. MoWilly says

    Johnny Depp. He’s a train wreck at the moment. In five years? washed up and out of work.

  166. silence1534 says

    Johnny Depp

    I’d really like to see him in a limited series, something smaller scale to shake off this movie star persona and get back to being an actor.

  168. bec215d says

    Johnny Depp dropped out of school at 15 after having been moved to new homes an estimated 20 times during his childhood – that’s more than once a year for his entire life till then. He started doing drugs in his teens, which stunts your emotional growth, and he has been a serial monogamist since his teen years – he moves from one long-term relationship to another. He needed tough love and years of therapy. Instead he got sycophants and years of intoxicants. Sad.

    • vanillasky says

      I hope he can clean up, get working again and make his money back. He is very talented.

  180. Meggiejean13 says

    Jonathan Ryhs Meyers. Sadly, in five years I don’t think he’ll be with us. If by some miracle he is, I doubt he’ll be in better condition. It is so sad to watch someone decay before you. My brother had similar issues. He was always drunk when he made similar threats. He was also drunk when he followed through. I sincerely wish Mr. Meyers a better outcome. He has so much to live for.

  191. fball0921 says

    Johnny Depp

    Hopefully, when he hits Rick bottom he will go to rehab and clean up for himself and his kids.

  194. MikeInSanJose says

    Johnny Depp

    If he’s still alive, hope he’s seriously in recovery (not “Hollywood Recovery”)

  195. NativeAtlantaGirl says

    Johnny Depp of course…
    Probably dead unless his daughter can shake some sense into him to get help – Depp’s choices in companionship has been dismal.

    • blueberry says

      This is in no way Lily’s responsibility as the child in this relationship, nor could she miraculously cure him, doesn’t work that way . I am the daughter in a situation just like this and my dad died of his addiction. The guilt when you have tried (as I’m sure Lily has) to help and failed is huge and it has taken therapy to move on and not feel crushing guilt. It isn’t entirely gone. I would never wish this burden on Lily, it isn’t hers to bear.
