Johnny Depp has long been praised for being genuinely awesome to fans and regular folk, including those in the crews of his movies. Countless stories of the actor’s kindness and humility have been told over the past few decades, but according to his former talent agent, alleged behavioral issues that started later in his career were the real reason his Hollywood stardom started to dim.

Johnny Depp’s former agent has claimed that he was ‘fed lines through an earpiece’ during his time filming Pirates of the Caribbean 5.The actor played Captain Jack Sparrow in the beloved franchise, making his debut in 2003 flick The Curse of the Black Pearl, alongside Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley and Geoffrey Rush.Appearing on the stand during day 19 of his defamation trial against Amber Heard, his ex-talent agent Tracey Jacobs – who was terminated in 2016 – spoke of working together.When asked by Heard’s lawyer, Elaine Bredehoft, if she recalled the 58-year-old using earpieces so people could feed him his lines during filming for the 2017 sequel, and if this became a regular thing, she said: ‘Yes.’She also said that representing the star became ‘far more complicated’ in their last 10 years of working together, due to his ‘unprofessional behavior’.Elaborating, Jacobs continued: ‘Showing up late to set consistently on virtually every movie. I would get yelled at.‘I never said to him, “You’re a difficult client”.
