Hollywood star Johnny Depp has revealed he suffers from depression for a short period of time after filming every project. The Pirates of the Caribbean actor said he does not take acting seriously but he enjoys being in character because as a shy person he feels more comfortable to hide behind a different identity.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe concept of being a \u2018serious actor\u2019 is the biggest oxymoron. I still can\u2019t take acting seriously, but a bit of method is a useful thing. I\u2019ll never be the guy who plays Henry VIII and grabs a giant turkey leg while ignoring the packet of Doritos on the table, but I do jump in and out of character. At the end of a production, there is always a period of depression, because I\u2019m a shy person in life and in character I can be anything,\u201d Depp told The Times.<\/p>\n
The 55-year-old actor, who is currently touring with his band The Hollywood Vampires which also features Alice Cooper and Joe Perry, said success in films is still a \u2018mystery\u2019 to him as he always wanted to be a musician.<\/p>\n
\u201dI never left music. I never stopped playing. But I gained a certain amount of success in another field, which is still a mystery to me. When I first went to Los Angeles with my band we drove across country in a rented van, breaking down along the way, searching for the almighty record deal. It was my life. Then the acting thing started to happen, the band broke up, and I got a job where they were going to pay me USD 1,200 a week. The first thing I did was call my mom and say, \u2018Hey, you can quit your job.’\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
