Johnny Depp Is Trying To Make Friends With Australia Again

Ever since Johnny Depp landed in Australia to film Pirates of the Caribbean 5, it’s kind of been nothing but a mess. First he busted up one of his 5-pronged silver ring holders (aka his hand). Then he went missing. Then when he came back, he illegally smuggled in his two Yorkies with him, and they ended up spending some time on house arrest before they were deported back to the US. Johnny high-tailed it out of there again last week and while some thought he left because he heard Australia might send his ass to jail for sneaking in his dogs, he actually went home for his daughter’s 16th birthday.

Well, Johnny’s back in Queensland, Australia to start filming Pirates again, and one of the first things he did after waiting an hour for Australian police to search his plane for stowaway Yorkies was to prove he’s still an ok guy by dressing up as Captain Jack Sparrow and taking some pictures with a bunch of fans. And he looked pretty happy while doing it, too.

At least I think that’s Johnny Depp’s happy face. I’m really just basing this off of what I think Johnny’s face would look like if his fairy godmother opened the door to a warehouse filled floor-to-ceiling with millions of dirty vintage scarves and said “They’re all yours, Johnny – every last one of ’em. Go ahead buddy, give ’em a sniff – they all smell like cigarettes and piss, and no two stains are the same.”

Here’s more of Johnny arriving on set and doing a meet-and-greet with his fans. According to one fan who was there, she was so starstruck she couldn’t remember what she said to him. Yeah, that’s not starstruck; that’s just what happens when you stand next to Johnny Depp’s toxic sewer hobo hair for too long.
