Greg Williams talks to Johnny Depp in Cannes

Look at him, look at him. My Viking boyfriend. When were you last here with a film? It was Pirates 4. Pirates 4? It was Pirates 4. That's great. Does it feel good to be back, mate? To be opening Cairn? I mean, that was a real surprise. How long did you know Marlon for? Let's see. I met him, it was roughly, yeah, basically 10 years before he passed on to the next situation. John, that's not normal. There's something wrong with you, John. John, stop it. That's not normal. And he became one of your very dearest, right? We spent a little time together. Got to know one another. And, you know, as is. I mean, there's an irreverence that I can't... If it springs... If something springs into my skull, it takes everything in the world to hold it in. And that's from him? No, that's just what we did to each other constantly. That's what we did. I love that. We tortured each other. Just tortured each other, man. Constantly. With, like, you know, a lot of practical jokes. But he, you know, he would... You know, he had practical jokes that lasted for, like... He would set things up for, like, months. Months. And then follow through with it. And he'd just absolutely give over. Did you know that the... The average sea turtle will consume... The smallest amount of brine. Walking up the steps of the thing, you know. I've done it a few times. Different films over many years. It's just always... Kind of... It's quite beautiful. When you're at the receiving end... You just feel... Like, initially you feel just... Exposed. But how does it feel now? Having... I mean, the thing is... Not knowing what was going to happen. You know, to be back in this way. Promoting a film... Publicly and opening... Well, for me, I mean, you know... I mean, it's like... Somebody sent me a thing that said... That my comeback... This was my comeback film or something. I mean... You can call it whatever you want. You can make it whatever you want. But, I mean... Comeback, usually... I mean, you have to go away to come back. I didn't go nowhere. Maybe... Maybe I was not... Maybe I was not thought of or looked at... Or allowed to be looked at. Here's the dumbest question in the world. Was it necessary? No? No, certainly not. Does that make a difference? No, certainly not. It was lived. There were a lot of things going on. But, man... You know, running between all of those raindrops... You learn... So much. And so much to the degree where... Even the idea of... Bitter... Any bitterness or hatred or anything... Why hate, man? It's an expensive emotion. Hating requires a bit of caring. I'd rather not. Is there some satisfaction in it, though? You know... Yes, there is. Because... You know, at the top of this... This horrible... Period. At the beginning of it... It was... You know, again, it's like... It's kind of like what I was saying before. People can hit the bottom many times. You can drop straight to the bottom. A billion times. But if you're lucky enough to find the basement... You're alright. You know. It's not locked. The important thing is to make all those gestures first. Like you look like you know what you're doing. But I have no clue. I can't play this instrument. I can't.
