1. Unless you spend it, money is just electrons in the bank's computer.

My hat is off to the old pirate, it takes a lot of effort to piss away that kind of cash, but he did it with style!

2. That's how you stimulate the economy.

Hell, when you’re making $40-80 million per movie, might as well enjoy it. There’s always going to be more.

Right up until someone maliciously derails your career.

I hope he gets his career back.

8. I wouldn't bet on it.

Depp is 58 years old and he looks like crap. I doubt that many studios are going to give him big roles because his alcoholism and addiction issues make him a big risk for showing up to work. He might be able to get some supporting roles in B-rate movies, but his days of getting marquee roles at top dollar have passed.

9. As a former fan, I agree. But he could put some

Of those houses in Air Bnb to keep him afloat.

This reminds me of Nic Cage’s descent.

Two excellent actors with lots of problems.

[TexasTowelie]

10. Yes, he will need to develop other sources of revenue

if he wants to maintain his playboy lifestyle. I think that he would be better off selling some of those houses rather than going the Air BnB route--too much maintenance and too close to social media. Depp needs to keep a low profile for awhile until he is ready to release a movie.

11. I agree. I was being facetious. Nt

12. Cage's new movie is supposed to be great

Maybe he's turned his descent around.

[spooky3]

13. Hope so! Nt

14. I disagree.

It’s easy to get into Hollywood shape and right now is a good time for studios to cash in on the controversy. It’s clear he still has a massive fan base. There have never been any stories of him unable to show up for work or being anything other than a professional on set. He’s been partying for years. That’s not a big deal.

There are tons of roles for him out there. Leading men generally don’t age out of the business for a long time.

[TexasTowelie]

15. He won't get the big roles because he is too big a risk for the studios

and the insurance premiums that they will have to pay. What were previously rumors and tabloid gossip have been confirmed under depositions and sworn testimony. The insurance underwriters for the studios will definitely take note and charge the studios accordingly.
It doesn't matter if he has perfect attendance at work or his professional candor is exemplary because it is his personal life that is the problem.

I also believe that some of his fan base will be turned off by the revelations of the trial--tarnished reputations do have an effect. As for myself, I have no intention of visiting any theater as long as COVID is still an issue and I know others that feel the same way. Those factors are what make a resurrected career difficult.

16. I suppose we'll just have to wait and see.

It’s all we can do.

3. Kinda like Elvis...

For me Depp is king. Only wish I could have gotten on that roller coaster ride.

Edit to add: Johnny was loved well by many better than Amber Heard.

4. Good gig to be one of his lackeys. Nt

[Scrivener7]

5. Some people just have too damn much money.

[Demovictory9]

7. Until they dont

6. He owns an island in the Bahamas! A 45-acre island!
