Johnny Depp accused of berating actress on-set: ‘You f**king idiot’
Movie star Johnny Depp has been accused of behaving poorly on-set by one of his former co-stars.
Johnny Depp has been accused of berating one of his former co-stars while on-set.
Actor Lola Glaudini has recounted an allegation from the set of the movie Blow, which she filmed in 2001 with the Hollywood star.
According to Glaudini, Depp allegedly went on an angry tirade at her in front of the rest of the cast and crew after she laughed during a take.
“[Depp] says his monologue. I hear the cue, and I go ‘haha’, I do a big laugh or whatever,” Glaudini said on the Powerful Truth Angels podcast, noting she performed the scene this way during a few other takes.
“Johnny Depp, when they say cut, walks over to me, comes up to me, sticks his finger in my face and he goes, ‘Who the f**k do you think you are? Who the f**k do you think you are? Shut the f**k up. I’m out here, and I’m trying to f**king say my lines and you’re f**king pulling focus. You f**king idiot. Oh, now, oh now it’s not so funny? Now you can shut up? Now you can f**king shut the f**k up? The quiet that you are right now, that’s how you f**king stay.’”
“First day, on the set, I’ve never met him,” Glaudini added. “This was my first studio movie, I’ve just done indies until then. And I have the star who I have idolised, who I am so excited to work with, reamed me in my face. The only thing going through my head was, ‘Don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry.’”
A spokesperson for Depp has told Variety that the actor rejects Glaudini’s account of the day on set.
“Johnny always prioritises good working relationships with cast and crew and this recounting differs greatly from the recollection of other members on set at the time,” said the spokesperson.
Meanwhile, Glaudini went on to share that Depp allegedly then approached her later the same day on set to give a “non-apology apology”.
“He said, ‘You know, so earlier I was really in my head and staying in my character, I’m doing this Boston accent, and it’s really f**king with me. So I’m a little tense and stuff. So I just wanted to make sure we’re cool and everything?’”
“I just looked at him, and I was like, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about? Of course, what are you talking about? Totally cool.’ Because I was like … my dad said, ‘Don’t let them see you sweat.’ So that was that.”
