Johnny Depp scared a child with a Jack Sparrow/Whitey Bulger mashup
Yeah, we're having a hard time visualizing this.
Johnny Depp combined two of his iconic roles — Pirates of the Caribbean's drunken Captain Jack Sparrow and his terrifying depiction of mobster Whitey Bulger — for a very confused eight-year-old girl.
In a new GQ interview, Depp and his Black Mass director Scott Cooper recounted a moment on set where Depp met Cooper's daughter Stella while in full Bulger makeup (a bald patch, bad teeth, the whole nine yards).
"I looked down, and she's looking up at Johnny like she was thinking to herself, 'Hold on. That's Jack Sparrow. But he doesn't look like it,'" Cooper said. "And I thought: what a great way to (expletive) your kids up."
Johnny was into it.
"I remember I had to do the voice for her," Depp says, while slipping into his Pirates of the Caribbean voice, "so that she recognized me."
