Johnny Depp makes an unexpected appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards
At the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, the actor Johnny Depp, whose career has been in shambles since a violent defamation case with his ex-wife Amber Heard, appeared as a floating astronaut hovering above the crowd. He is currently working to rehabilitate his career (Aug 28).
During the course of the live ceremony, Johnny Depp cracked a few jokes as his face was digitally superimposed within the helmet of a spaceman, which served as the inspiration for the VMAs Moon Person statue.
At the beginning of the performance, the star of “Pirates of the Caribbean” cracked a joke by saying, “I needed the work.”
Later on during the event, Johnny Depp announced that he was available for “any old thing you need,” including birthdays, bar mitzvahs, bat mitzvahs, weddings, and wakes.
