People come up and act like fans, but they don’t start crying.ĭEPP: I’ve seen people come up to you shaking. Do people come up to you and start crying? I can see the embarrassment on your face.ĭEPP: Well, it’s terrifying.

We are on the street and girls go up to you and start crying. WATERS: I’ve been with you when that happens, and it shocked me.
CAPTAIN JACK INTERVIEW MOVIE
WATERS: But my movie was basically making fun of your whole image.ĭEPP: It makes fun of all that stuff I sort of hate. WATERS: But you’re missing out on being in all those cop movies.ĭEPP: There were a lot of scripts where I would carry a gun, kiss a girl, and walk around corners and pose, and things like that. JOHN WATERS: Why did you pick Cry-Baby as your first starring movie role? It wasn’t really a safe movie for you to pick. They shook hands, smoked cigarettes, and ate bacon together. It was part of the ritual for the stars of my films to spend time here, so it was a great relief that I finally introduced Johnny Depp to David Spencer. If the walls of this apartment could talk, we’d all be in trouble. It didn’t work, but a decade later I wrote my first book, Shock Value, in this same 1950s-style bedroom. I lived at the other end of the duplex, trying to persuade the welfare department to support me due to my “insanity” while I thought up movie ideas. In the old days, Mink Stole once lived on a mattress in the hall outside the guest bedroom that housed Divine for many years.

Depp to relax than this onetime home-away-from-home to Divine, myself, and many other regulars from my early films. The star of 21 Jump Street and my new film, Cry-Baby, agreed to meet me in the San Francisco home of my longtime friend and past financial backer, David Spencer. Johnny Depp arrives on time, disheveled and as handsome as ever. Manly males, masculine guys, two-fisted dudes, virile homeboys, potent chaps, handsome gentlemen, broad-shouldered hombres, hairy-chested lads, real blokes, big macs. We’re not joking when we say magical-Winona Ryder even shows up at the end with a new Ralph Lauren shirt for Depp. This seemed like as good as an excuse as any to dig up this magical interview between Depp and John Waters from our April 1990 issue. Earlier this week, news leaked that Javier Bardem was in talks to play the antagonist in Pirates of the Caribbean 5, with Johnny Depp reprising his role as Captain Jack Sparrow.
