Meanwhile, the Rome Film Festival shared photos of Depp on his Instagram, showing him receiving the golden statue from “Moody” actor Riccardo Scamarchio.
Depp, who has starred in a string of films over the years and gained worldwide fame as Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, has been a frequent guest star in Tim Burton films including Edward Scissorhands, Charlie and the Factory The Chocolate Factory”, “The Dead Bride”, “Sweeney Todd: The Devil’s Barber of Fleet Street” and “Alice in Wonderland”.
The actor, who has been involved in a high-profile case with his ex-wife Amber Heard in recent years, also gave an interview to The Hollywood Reporter, which follows:
Al Pacino first suggested this movie about Modigliani in 1997. Why did it take so many years to build?
We were working together on Donnie Brasco at the time, and Al was going to direct it, and while he was talking to me about it, he wanted me to play Modigliani. Then somehow everything stopped and after 20 years, Al called me, and [به تقلید از صدای پاچینو] He said: Hey John, I think you should direct Modigliani’s work. I said: What about me? why
How do you feel about directing? This is your second attempt to direct a film. The first “Brave” in 1997 did not do well.
“Brave” did not fare so well. I remember very well that the critics were against it, and I just had to learn what to do. You learn from these things.
* Did you identify with Modigliani? He was a wild man. He was a busy man who loved drugs and rock and roll and could not stand being rejected.
He is the exact opposite of me. I like rejection [میخندد.]
Are there ways to understand him as a character?
Of course. My upbringing was not Modigliani’s, but you know where to climb, a ladder or a wall, to reach a point where your path is clear. I understand him in the sense that he stuck to his guns with his own style, a tool that many would have resisted at the time.
* Like you, he was in the desert for some time due to personal issues. Is this a good description?
It was a vast desert and in the end that vast desert taught me many things.
* What lessons have you learned?
Let’s see, should it be funny or should it be true? [می خندد.]
*Last month in San Sebastián, you said that your life has become a TV series. Do you still feel that way?
Honestly, I can sit here right now and think about all the hit pieces and how everyone was against me saying yeah yeah yeah he’s out of the way… endless things like that. I can remember it all. But everything passed. Some issues of that time were not the most beautiful, some were funny. Some were crazy. The problem is that it was very obvious and simple, and it is simple. So, for me, it happened. I’ve learned that whether you’re holding a snowball or walking your dog, you learn something along the way. So I don’t have any bad feelings towards anyone. I don’t have this big store of hate, because hate needs care. Why carry that baggage?
*You also said that you feel you don’t need Hollywood anymore.
I’ve had a couple of run-ins with Hollywood going the way they want and all that predictable stuff, and I’m sorry, but I had to get in there and then go around it a little bit…
*With all the challenges you have faced in your personal and professional life, you still provide unforgettable games. Do you have an instinct or intuition or method that allows you to focus on the accuracy of your roles?
Oh yes, of course, it’s my responsibility. But it’s useful in certain cases, especially when things are falling apart. It’s weird to be able to escape, not to escape into a character, but it’s nice to be able to inhabit a character and since everything is in your toolbox some of those things can be used as triggers. That is very good. So yes, it all happened… it really happened and it all happened. That’s all.
