TORONTO – The groom of the corpse bride, sporting his trademark goatee and frumpy hat and an arm tattoo that reads “Jack,” looked hopeful and yet apprehensive – by Mal Vincent for the Virginian-Pilot.
He wanted to know. He really wanted to know. “Well, man,” he said, “What is it? I can trust you. You wouldn’t steer me wrong.”
He turned a thumb down for a second and then a thumb up accompanied by a hint of a sardonic yet sincere smile. The scene was in the midst of the hoopla that accompanies the Toronto International Film Festival press circus. There was no time for a conversation – just Johnny Depp passing quickly in the hallway between press conferences.
Instinctively, we gave him a thumbs up.
“You really think so? Thanks, man. This was different, you know. I’ve never done anything like this before.”
