Johnny Depp Misunderstood.....

  Author:  26573  Category:(News) Created:(9/5/2003 5:47:00 AM)

LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Denying any anti-American sentiment on his part, actor Johnny Depp said quotes attributed to him as likening the United States to a "dumb puppy" were inaccurate and taken out of context.

"I am an American. I love my country and have great hopes for it," Depp said in a statement. "It is for this reason that I speak candidly and sometimes critically about it. I have benefited greatly from the freedom that exists in my country and for this I am eternally grateful."

Depp, starring in the swashbuckling film "Pirates of the Caribbean," issued the statement a day after the German news magazine Stern published an interview in which he ridiculed Washington's confrontation with France, where he lives, over the U.S. war in Iraq.

The magazine quoted the actor as saying: "America is...like a dumb puppy that has big teeth that can bite and hurt you, aggressive."

Explaining his comments a day later, Depp said he had been using a metaphor that was taken "radically out of context," adding, "There was no anti-American sentiment."

"What I was saying was that, compared to Europe, America is a very young country and we are still growing as a nation. My deepest apologies to those who were offended, affected, or hurt by this insanely twisted deformation of my words and intent."

Kentucky-born Depp, 40, lives in the south of France with his French wife, actress-singer Vanessa Paradis, and their children.

Date: 9/5/2003 6:30:00 AM  From Authorid: 27534    I agree......accept his apology.....and raise my appreciation and respect for the man.  
Date: 9/5/2003 7:13:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 26573    I agree AZ, sounds like a little back-peddling. Still he is an awesome actor, my favorite is either Scissorhands or Blow.  
Date: 9/5/2003 8:10:00 AM  From Authorid: 54987    Well that explains it. He said 'young puppy' not 'dumb puppy'.  
Date: 9/5/2003 8:12:00 AM  From Authorid: 62181    I don't care what he says or does, he's a genius and what he thinks or does is his business it doens't change the way I view him as an actor. Hey there is a new movie with him in it what's it called? I saw the previews but I forgot the name...it looks good! Peace  
Date: 9/5/2003 8:14:00 AM  From Authorid: 13109    Some people..... but i can see how it is taken out of context..I still like him.. I dont care what he says he's still a great actor. Love,  
Date: 9/5/2003 8:45:00 AM  From Authorid: 33925    It comes as NO surprise that the media would twist someone's words to suit their purpose.  
Date: 9/5/2003 9:39:00 AM  From Authorid: 13297    I second what LadyLuck said.  
Date: 9/5/2003 10:20:00 AM  From Authorid: 53284    I have never trusted the media since they quoted me as saying that I used my dog for hunting. My dog is a dachshund. I still laugh when I think about how absurd that would be.  
Date: 9/5/2003 10:39:00 AM  From Authorid: 15228    I'm taking his apology at face value. It's a real apology, not one of those non-apology apologies. Plus he's cute which helps.  
Date: 9/5/2003 11:50:00 AM  From Authorid: 54174    I agree with LadyLuck also  
Date: 9/5/2003 12:05:00 PM  From Authorid: 13283    Thank goodness this was a mix up . He is my second fave actor and I was starting to second guess him . I am glad the real truth came out . The media has a bad habit of twisting stories , Grrrrrr ! Razzy aka  
Date: 9/5/2003 1:25:00 PM  From Authorid: 998    Thank you for your clearification of this event. It is sad that we so many times get an untrue account of what 'really' happened. I would much rather have the whole truth, then make my own opinions of the account. Thanks again.  
Date: 9/5/2003 5:30:00 PM  From Authorid: 54174    even if he'd meant what was said in the first place i'd still respect his opinion. if people hav different opinions than me it doesnt matter to me greatly. if they are good at what they do is good enough for me. if they dont agree with things i agree with i dont think bad thoughts of them. it is just their opinion. i agreed with him but ifsomeone else was to say otherwise i would never think badly of them or think they were wrong for thinking what they think. even if i do think the opposite. I respect people's opinions and don't think they deserved to be punished for thinking certain things.  
Date: 9/5/2003 6:16:00 PM  From Authorid: 48525    I'm glad that the "Dixie Chicks treatment" wasn't afforded to Johnny. Like it or not, agree or not, he still has the right to speak his mind. Peace!  
Date: 9/5/2003 8:33:00 PM  From Authorid: 41067    Its interesting to see how many opinions have so quickely altered from the last post I saw about this, from shouts of him being un-american and the like to what we see here. Doesn't this just prove how quickly snap judgements can be made when viewing the media?  
Date: 9/5/2003 9:35:00 PM  From Authorid: 21673    The media is sick and loves to kick a hero down. Like what famous actor doesn't get torn in half by the paparazzi or media maniacs?!
Depp is a fantastic actor and cute too! He must grow tired of having all his words twisted and analized. I do wonder about that GQ article and the marijuana statement he made about his children. I rather hope he did not mean it as it was written. Maybe he,s done too much drugs in his younger years.
