In an interview with LIVE magazine, Johnny Depp, 48, revealed that he almost died while on a private jet en route to Los Angeles after location scouting for “The Rum Diary.”   The actor discussed the near-death experience he has with the “Rum Diary” director Bruce Robinson, 65, as the engines of the plane they are boarding failed and the pair believed they were going down.  Just so you know, “The Rum Diary” is currently out in theaters.  The Rum Diary chronicles the story of a journalist who travels to Puerto Rico and runs into a series of sometimes-dangerous adventures.

Depp explained that the plane just shut down and the sound of the engines stopped noting there was silence.  According to him, he and Bruce were looking at each other and he think he said is this it.  He also said that it was like this weird extended moment when you are just floating for a second and you could feel this unpleasant descent.  The actor continued saying that nobody said a word except for him and Bruce sitting next to each other saying that is death.  He said he guess that is how it goes down then they burst into hysterical laughter at the idea that that was how they were going to die.

When the engines started back up again, Depp said that he and director Bruce Robinson breathed a sigh of relief.  According to the actor, suddenly the engines started back up again and they were climbing back up saying that he guess you could say that was a big bonding experience for him and Bruce.  He added that for a moment there, they were going down together.

The Rum Diary also stars Amber Heard as Depp’s love interest in the film, she was so impressed with the cast, and director saying there was no reason not to take that project.  The plane isn’t the only thing flopping as the pair’s new film The Rum Diaries has failed to live up to expectations.  The film costs £35million to make but the film took in just £3million on its opening weekend.

Director Bruce Robinson who wrote Rolan Joffe’s Oscar winning “The Killing Fields” and directed the acclaimed “Withnail and I,” said that they were drinking a Haut-Brion and they were sitting there.  The director starred as an actor in Franco Zeffirelli’s “Romeo and Juliet” playing Benvolio and co-starred with Isabelle Adjani in Francois Truffaut’s classic, “The Story of Adele H.”  Bruce said he was not paying for it talking about the expensive wine he and Johnny were drinking when the Gulfstream lost power to both engines.  According to him, it was more than one bottle.

The London native said that because of the quality of the wine they were drinking and because they were really identifying with each other, he made a terrible joke that the worst thing that could happen in a plane crash is people getting I luggage racks.  According to him, Johnny started laughing at the joke and so did him.  He said they were on their knees holding each other roaring with laughter while the plane was crashing then suddenly the engines came back on.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star, Johnny Depp, apologizes for his remarks to the November issue of Vanity Fair interview about his photoshoot compared to being raped.  As he perceived this to be the downside of fame, he needs to get used with it since he has one of the biggest names in Hollywood.  Having a mysterious character, Depp is in a way skittish about having his photo taken.  In a statement, he says:
“I am truly sorry for offending anyone in any way. I never meant to. It was a poor choice of words on my part in an effort to explain a feeling. I understand there is no comparison and I am very regretful. In an effort to correct my lack of judgment, please accept my heartfelt apology.”
This statement has been made after objections came out from a support group of rape victims based in Washington- RAINN (Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network) – after his careless statements in an interview.  The actor said:
“You just feel like you’re raped somehow.  Raped.  The whole thing.  It feels weird.  Whenever you have a photo-shoot or something like that, it’s like you just feel dumb.  It’s stupid.”
RAINN immediately voice out their outrage with the actor’s words.  Katherine Hull, the group’s spokesperson, said that they would love a chance to talk to Johnny Depp and “educate him about the real life experience faced by survivors every day.”
“While photos may feel at times intrusive, being photographed in no way compares to rape, a violent crime which affects another American every 2 minutes,” Hull said in a statement.  “RAINN welcomes the opportunity to speak with Mr. Depp and educate him about the real life experiences faced by survivors every day and ways that he can work with RAINN to help.”
After the 48-year-old actor apologized, spokesperson Katherine Hull is happy to hear the news.  “RAINN appreciates and accepts Johnny Depp’s heartfelt apology,” she says. “We hope to work with him to provide hope to victims of rape and make sure they get the help they deserve.”
During his Vanity Fair interview in an article titled, “The Truth About Johnny’s Demons”, the actor also discuss about becoming Hollywood’s best-paid actor.  According to him, he has no doubt about it no matter how silly the money may seem.

“Basically, if they’re going to pay me the stupid money right now, I’m going to take it.
‘I have to. I mean, it’s not for me. Do you know what I mean? At this point, it’s for my kids. It’s ridiculous, yeah, yeah. But ultimately is it for me? No. No. It’s for the kids.”

Depp has two kids named Lily-rose, 12, and Jack, 9.  He was with his longtime partner Vanessa Paradis.  The three-time Oscar nominee is currently promoting his latest movie “The Rum Diary,” which will open October 28, 2011.  Depp’s remarks are not the first of its kind; it recalls some similar lines from “Twilight” actress Kristen Stewart last year.
