Poor Johnny!
In the midst of filming The Tourist, Johnny Depp had to be rescued from Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie‘s 175-pound bulldog, Jacques.
The actor agreed to watch the bulldog so the couple could have a romantic date one evening, but he soon regretted his decision.
Depp, who apparently is not a dog person, explained:
“Foolishly I was persuaded to look after their dog Jacques for a night. He’s a huge bulldog. At first I had a terrible feeling, because Jacques smelt horrible. But then I told myself, ‘Come on, you will survive one night’. Everything was cool – until I sat down on the bed to take my shoes off. Jacques pounced on me from behind and kept jumping around on me.”
LOLs. This story is creating a vivid, HIGHlarious picture in our mind.
Depp continued to explain the attack:
“He’s not small. Around 175lbs of dog was hurled at me, which felt like about 300lbs. I shouted for help and luckily someone came to take that beast off me.”
Hopefully they were grateful for your sacrifice, Johnny!
Sounds like despite the viscious attack, he and long-term partner Vanessa Paradis enjoyed being able to socialise with Angelina and Brad after filming ended for the day.
Depp said during interviews:
“We often went for dinner with them. It was great. I’ve known Brad since the end of the Eighties. It was great to see him as a man and amazing father.”
Although it sounds like the actors truly respect each other, one thing is for sure.
This story was a lot better almost as good as the movie!
