Johnny Depp has 'period of depression' after making movie
Hollywood star Johnny Depp has revealed he suffers from "depression" for a short period of time after filming every project. The "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor said he does not take acting "seriously" but he enjoys being in character because as a "shy person" he feels more comfortable to hide behind a different identity. "The concept of being a 'serious actor' is the biggest oxymoron... I still can't take acting seriously, but a bit of method is a useful thing. I'll never be the guy who plays Henry VIII and grabs a giant turkey leg while ignoring the packet of Doritos on the table, but I do jump in and out of character. "At the end of a production, there is always a period of depression, because I'm a shy person in life and in character I can be anything," Depp told The Times. The 55-year-old actor, who is currently touring with his band, The Hollywood Vampires, which also features Alice Cooper and Joe Perry, said success in films is still a ''mystery'' to him as he always wanted to
