Johnny Depp ‘chaotic’ movie set claims shot down – ‘He works diligently’ | Films | Entertainment

The insider told Express.co.uk: “Johnny always looks after the cast and crew and treats people with kindness. There were weeks of very long night shoots; 12-14 hours. He works diligently, both on the script and on the very long days, and seems to be very passionate in bringing his visions to life.”

On reports that Depp enjoys the benefits of his celebrity more than the work itself, the source told us: “He has moved on from a massive media assault that would have devastated anyone, but he showed incredible bravery and resilience. I absolutely admire his perseverance. I think it’s time for people to get on with their lives.”

On claims that Depp is no longer welcome in luxury hotels, the source said: “A residence offers more privacy than a hotel. He deserves privacy and quiet and needs it after very long working days and nights.”

And on reports that progress on Modì is in many cases due to the talent of the Assistant Director stepping in, which Depp supposedly takes credit for, the insider said: “Johnny has a lot of responsibility as a film director and has to make important decisions. He invests so much passion and energy in the project, and is backed by his professional production team.”

They added: “He is working hard, enjoying life, and deserves to reclaim his narrative as a film director, actor and the brilliant visionary that he is.”

Modi’s release date is TBC.
