Depp, on his appearance:
I knew that I wanted to have the dreads, and things tied into my hair, like things I’d picked up on voyages and whatnot. Kinda like Keith, because he has stuff like little coins and beads in his hair. So I wanted that, and the little braids and dingles on them. The coal on my eyes came from – you know how athletes wear black, for reflection? And I started thinking about the Toregs in Northern Africa and the Berbers, who put coal under the eyes and have done so for thousands of years, which is medicinal in a way, and protects the eyes from wind, sand and sun.
Bloom, on being like Depp:
I got a little bit of fun doing the impression of Johnny in the film. I envied him so much, because he just creates these fucking unbelieveable characters. You read the script and you don’t see that character on the page, but Johnny just takes what’s there and creates – that. It’s his thing, and it’s amazing. I loved it, and I was just so envious that it was him doing it. And I wanted to have a little piece of it. We talked about it and he encouraged the impression; Jerry agreed we should write it in. I was so happy to see it in the movie. |
