The hermegueiro driver, after playing a few chords, recalled that Johnny Depp’s first passion, before cinema and acting, was music. “My first love was music and music was, moreover, what saved me from my youthful follies and from myself“, Said the American actor, director, film producer and musician, who later admitted that he learned to play the guitar after stealing a book: “I released this book, which fits perfectly, in my pants, from a store. The book had pictures of where I had to put my fingers and that’s how, at the age of 12, I started learning to play the guitar“.

The presenter questioned Johnny Depp about why he chose the San Sebastian Film Festival to present ‘Moody’. “For the sake of wine“, He commented between laughs. “San Sebastian has for many years been a place where I have always felt very well received. And also, it stands out among other festivals that I have seen over the years that they pay more attention to young filmmakers and things that are a little out of the norm. It has a wide range of cinema and creativity, therefore, for me, the San Sebastian Film Festival has always been the one that has all the ingredients to be a great festival “It’s just about cinema, about the work of filmmakers, and not about all the nonsense that can surround cinema,”said the Kentucky native.

After a two-minute break for publicity, Pablo Motos noted that Moody is the second film directed by Johnny Depp and asked him what is the difference between thinking as an actor or doing as a director in the same scene. “I think it’s about, at first, the approach you take, because there was a movie that I actually directed about 27 years ago and I also had to act in it. And having to act in this film for me was like torture. After writing and directing the script, and I had to see myself in the scenes that we were shooting, it was horror. Then, At ‘Moody’s’ I focused on being able to capture everything that was giving me an incredible cast“, He pointed out.

Pablo Motos was curious to know if Johnny Depp, as a director, allows the actors to improvise or forces them to stick to the script. “I think the actor should have this freedom to play at the moment and create the character. Thus, in the conversations we had before the shooting, I told them that there may be times when we were shooting without their knowledge because we did not warn them, others when they think we will shoot and we will not… It all depends on what the actors were doing at any given moment,” said Johnny Depp. “The characters ask you how the movie should be and then the movie itself tells you what it wants to be , so all the previous expectations you have go out the window“, He added.
