Johnny Depp hits out at Hollywood, saying they “threw me in the bin”

Johnny Depp has hit out at the Hollywood movie industry, saying they “threw me in the bin” to explain why he hasn’t worked within it for years.Back in 2022, Depp won a defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard over a 2018 op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post.

Two years prior, Depp lost a libel case against The Sun after it published an article that referred to him as a “wife beater” – claims Depp has always denied.The situation led to Depp being dropped from the Fantastic Beasts franchise and as such has not landed any Hollywood roles of late.

The majority of his recent roles have been in European cinema, including his latest role as King Louis XV in Jeanne Du Barry, where he performs in French.Depp didn’t have many kinds words about Hollywood. “They’re disposable and they realise it.

Glorified accountants who have the ability to press the green light and make studio films… but they press the green light, they spent shitloads of money,” he told Metro. “Budgets are ridiculous on these films… some romantic comedy with two very popular people.
