Gwyneth Paltrow Was Done With Johnny Depp After Discovering His Unprofessional Habit
Gwyneth Paltrow was one of the most sought-after actresses during the 90s. She has been in the entertainment industry for a long time and has been part of various successful films. Paltrow even paved her way into the MCU and rose to fame playing Pepper Potts in the three Iron Man films, the love interest of Tony Stark in the MCU.
Over the years, the 50-year-old has worked with many stars from the industry. She starred opposite Johnny Depp in the 2015 film Mortdecai. The dup played an on-screen couple in the film. The comedy crime drama directed by David Koepp revolved around two debt-ridden couples taking up a job to find a stolen Goya painting. It was a hilarious film and marked the first time Gwyneth Paltrow worked with Depp. The Proof actress recalled working with the actor and revealed how she was annoyed by his unprofessional habit.
Gwyneth Paltrow reveals Johnny Depp’s annoying habit
Gwyneth Paltrow did not get to work with Johnny Depp in her lengthy and illustrious acting career until 2015 when the two actors finally collaborated as co-leads in the movie Mortdecai.
During her appearance on The Ellen Show, Paltrow revealed how it was working with Depp and sharing an unprofessional habit of the actor that annoyed her. When the host asked the 50-year-old to describe her time working with the Pirates of the Caribbean star, she confessed Depp was the funniest person to work with.
Further, Ellen asked the Marvel actress to reveal what drove her crazy about her co-star. The actress prompted by saying, “He’s sort of perfect, he is pretty amazing.” But when the host insisted on thinking something that might drive her crazy, Paltrow said on The Ellen Show,
“You know how like your alarm clock might go off and it might say like ‘Oh it’s 8:00, I need to get up and go to work I think when Johnny’s goes off he’s like ‘Oh I need to sleep for six more hours”
The Shakespeare in Love star added, “He’s too cool to follow a 24-hour schedule like we do.”
The 50-year-old revealed how unprofessional Depp is as he tends to be late to come on set. To this, Ellen suggested to call the Pirates of the Caribbean star hours or two before.
Gwyneth Paltrow was worried about losing Mortdecai
Mortdecai might have been a special project for Gwyneth Paltrow now looking back on it after so many years. The film marked the actress’s last role as a lead. Surprisingly, she was worried she might have lost the film because she kept compromising a scene.
In an interview, the Shakespeare in Love actor revealed it was particularly difficult getting through the kissing scenes with Depp. The 50-year-old who played Depp’s wife, Johanna Mortdecai, in the movie, expressed how she ruined 15 takes as she struggled to kiss Johnny Depp and his crazy mustache. Stopping by on The Rachel Ray Show, she said,
“I ruined probably 15 takes – which was funny at first. Until you look around and the crew’s like, ‘Oh my God.’ I honestly was digging my nails into my skin to not laugh by the end of the thing because I was like, ‘I’m going to get fired! I’ve ruined like 15 takes!’”
Mortdecai is based on Lord Charlie Mortdecai, a conman and art dealer who is approached by mobster Fang Jock and falls prey to him. The movie, which had a disastrous box office performance and had been pulled from 2,395 theatres, was at the time the 10th greatest theatre drop in history.
Mortdecai is available to stream on Pluto TV.
