Johnny Depp is sorry

He doesn't want to get Dixie Chicked. So now he's sorry for his anti-American comments, claiming a German publication distorted his words.

You know I almost believed him, too. But how can we trust him? He left the great state of Kentucky and moved to France.

Hey Mercer,
What do you expect from a "man" who would give drugs to his kids gladly if they asked for them?
This stupidity on the part of any American actor does not surprise me.
Of course, one would never see Robert Duvall say something that stupid but the Mr. Duvall was in the US Army, Steve McQueen was a Marine, I think Jean Hackman was a military man at one time....
Too bad McQueen isn't alive he and John Wayne would kick that Fruit cake Johhny Depps butt big time.....

John Wayne once said that Black people were not evolve enought to be a part of public life. I'm not surprised you like John Wayne.

I call bullshit on the John Wayne quote until you can back it up with a link. Don't say shit unless you can identify a source.

And Gene Hackman was a Marine, BTW.

Another celebrity speaks out. This makes me wonder if they all go to Morrison's Cafeteria, pull out a tray and pick and choose their favorites from the assortment of cheap cliches. You gotta admit, whether you agree with them or not, that Hollywood stars can say they cheesiest of things as a fait accompli, and think they are smart for it.

Europeans slander the Duke after he is twenty years dead. Read all about it. Euro Weenies badmouth The Quiet Man.

Shame on you!!!!!

After the Duke jumped with the 101st prelanding. John Wayne broke his ankle freeing you folks from the Nazis in "The Longest Day™"

ot/ Chirac is making the right call not going to Irac with the UN and all. Iraq hates the UN almost as much as they hate the French. I doubt a French soldier, once deployed to Iraq would ever leave in one peice.

Depp has been saying stuff like this for a long while. It's funny he only apologized today.

He's upset with the U.S. because we began to call french fries "freedom fries", yet not a word of anger for the French who let their old citizens roast in their tiny little apartments while they were out on the sacred August holiday.

Something like that happens here, we have people calling their relatives everyday, strangers sending supplies to the beleagured through charity organizations, Lowe's and Home Depot donating fans and air conditioners.

None of that in "humanist" France, where there are still bodies in the morgue that haven't been claimed yet.

there you go, one of the greatest american racist, a man who kill more indians than anybody

Don't be an idiot bob. Your link doesn't back up your claim. A cursory google search and a snopes search don't back up your claim either.

Hey Bob, here's a link just for you...

I like John Wayne, even if was as narrow-minded as any other right-wing Republican. :)
I don't think he was racist.

Ah, these movie stars you can't help loving them.

"The Red River" is one of my favourites.

Well wait just a second here. Didn't Jonny Depp take part in a Mai Lai village like massacre in Platoon? Yep, he did.

At least John Wayne showed a little restraint in Viet Nam. I must admit that I had a tear in my eye at the end when Ham Chuck went running around crying "Where is my Petersan?" at the end. I mean, who wouldn't? It was like when Old Yeller died. Or Where the Red Fern Grows. Or My Dog Skip.

See, here is more proof. Depp... with Barnes! Depp never liked Elias. Nope, Johnny always hung out with Barnes.

Dep the perpetual druggie didn't hang out with Elias? Whats up with that?

Posted by: J.Mayeau on September 6, 2003 12:48 PM

I think Stern shafted Dep.
"America is ... like a dumb puppy that has big teeth that can bite and hurt you, aggressive." -I mean who talks like that? Even the {...} It has to be taken out of context just from the {...} alone.

Posted by: J.Mayeau on September 6, 2003 12:54 PM

Who talks like that? Someone who has never had a puppy. Puppies don't have big teeth. They have little tiny teeth that are sharp like razor blades. Further more, puppies aren't aggressive; they simply crave attention.

Otherwise, the only other type of person who would say something like that would be a Hollywood celebrity who doesn't understand that this is the information age. The days of being able to say one thing in one country and the opposite in another country, to placate fans is over. Ten years ago no one in America would ever know what someone said to a German reporter. Today with the internet, Americans will hear about it in less than 24 hours.

"Them's mighty fine words for an old, one-eyed,fat man."

"Fill your hands, you son of a bitch!"

John Wayne taught Dubya how to be a cowboy. Taught the rest of us, too. How to stand up and go out and do what's right, whether or not the cowardly neighbors would join the posse or not.

Those from the Axis of Weasels really really should not hurl innuendo's about killing minorities when they gave up all those innocent Jews, gays, and gypsies to the Nazi ovens. I suppose they figure it takes one to know one ... except they don't know one, either.

Johnny Depp had developed an excellent swagger for Pirates of the Caribbean. Since he offered a hasty retreat and apology, I will give him the benefit of the doubt and not Chick him, until and unless he does it again.

Telling Bob not to be an idiot is like telling papa french not to be a super-patriot.
