AceShowbiz - Johnny Depp set tongues wagging after he showed up looking a little worse for wear on the red carpet premiere of his new movie "Murder on the Orient Express". He wore a black tuxedo with his bow tie hanging loose around his neck.
A bodyguard was seen trying to steer the "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" actor away from the crowd while he was in the middle of signing autograph. The security maintained tight grip on his arm as he looked unsteady on his feet.
Fans believed that the actor was wasted. Witness at the Royal Albert Hall in London where the movie screening was held claimed that he "reeked of alcohol." Also spotted among the stars were Judi Dench, Penelope Cruz and Kenneth Branagh.
While in the United Kingdom, Johnny Depp dropped by "The Graham Norton Show". He was joined on the couch by co-stars Dench, Branagh, Michelle Pfeiffer and Josh Gad. He recalled his experience of dressing up as Jack Sparrow at Disneyland.
"I was very excited to stand rock still and then shout out (in Captain Jack's voice), 'Oi, what you looking at?' I got no reaction whatsoever - nothing! I then had to start describing the people I was shouting at so they knew I was real," he said. "It was exhausting and such a bad idea!"
Directed by Kenneth Branagh, "Murder on the Orient Express" is also supported by Willem Dafoe, Derek Jacobi, Leslie Odom Jr., Daisy Ridley and Tom Bateman among others. The adaptation of Agatha Christie's 1934 novel is coming out stateside on November 10.
Rumor has it, Johnny Depp has a financial crisis. He sued his former business manager and fired his lawyer, claiming that the attorney conspiring with the manager to siphon $40 million of his wealth. The debacle was revealed following his messy divorce from Amber Heard. She accused him of domestic violence, which he vehemently denied.
