TOKYO (AFP) – Johnny Depp has been branded an eccentric for playing a recluse with scissors for hands and a delusional Don Juan. This time his own son is calling him a weirdo for his role as crazy candyman Willy Wonka.
The Hollywood heartthrob said he invited his children to watch him dress up in his slick jacket and top hat to shoot “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” the latest film version of British writer Roald Dahl’s kids classic.
Depp, in Tokyo Sunday ahead of the Japanese release of Tim Burton’s movie, said his three-year-old son was astonished and told his dad, “You are really weird”.
