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.

    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.

      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.

    Johnny Depp

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

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

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

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

  37. GatorGirl says

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

    Johnny Depp

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

    Johnny Depp –

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

  61. 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.

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

    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

    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) /

  79. 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.

  80. nikkimermaid says

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

  89. badgerette85 says
