Pirates of the Caribbean producer Jerry Bruckheimer candidly opened up on his fondness for Johnny Depp in an interview with Deadline.
Bruckheimer, 79, who has worked with Depp, 59, on the Pirates franchise, shared his thoughts on Depp’s volatile litigation with ex-wife Amber Heard on Behind the Lens with Pete Hammond.
“He’s just so good at what he does and actors recover from things like this,” said the Top Gun: Maverick maker.
Bruckheimer added, “Depp’s a good individual and he’s a caring individual. He’s somebody that you can rely on and he’s just terrific.”
Discussing Depp’s possible return to his iconic role of Captain Jack Sparrow, Bruckheimer explained, “I think Johnny is an utter friend and an amazing artist and, again, you go through things in life you wish you hadn’t, but he’s still a talented artist.'
Bruckheimer previously told The Hollywood Reporter he would “love” to have Depp back in the fold. “You’d have to ask them [Disney]. I can’t answer that question. I really don’t know.'
“I would love to have him in the movie. He’s a friend, a terrific actor and it’s unfortunate that personal lives creep into everything we do,” Bruckheimer candidly added.
