The star-making 1991 role Johnny Depp turned down: “I don’t regret any of it”It’s far, far too early to be thinking about Christmas; we’re in the midst of unprecedented heatwaves, half of France is on fire, and we’ve only just dealt with World Cup disappointment, but in case you’re one of those people who have no patience whatsoever and put decorations up in the middle of the year, you might be excited about Johnny Depp’s new film. Depp replied, “I don’t regret any of the things I didn’t do, and I certainly don’t regret any of the things I did do, down to the dumbest. Everything happened the way it should happen, even ridiculous things that I did in the beginning. I don’t re­gret any of it.” Rather than Ridley Scott’s road movie, Depp decided to make a small cameo in the sixth Nightmare on Elm Street film, and actually took a two-year hiatus before coming back in the distinctly not box office-friendly Benny and Joon, about a man living with his mentally ill sister after the death of their parents.
