Johnny Depp Takes Method Acting Too Far by Only Tipping in Ghostly Chains

Hold onto your tricorn hats because Johnny Depp has finally found a role that matches his natural aesthetic of 'Victorian chimney sweep who found a pirate chest.' Johnny is officially playing Scrooge, and word on the street is he hasn't broken character since the cameras stopped rolling. I hear he’s currently wandering his mansion in a nightcap, yelling at the shadows and demanding to know where the Ghost of Christmas Past is hiding his favorite rings. Friends are a little worried because Johnny reportedly tried to pay for a latte using nothing but a rusty iron shackle and a very dramatic monologue about the industrial revolution. He’s apparently swapped his usual luxury scarves for heavy, rattling chains, claiming it helps him find his 'inner misery.' Honestly, seeing him grumpy and covered in soot isn't exactly a huge stretch, but we love the commitment to the bit. He’s supposedly banned the word 'festive' from his premises and is currently considering replacing his security team with three spirits who won't charge an hourly rate. If you see a man in a waistcoat sobbing over a bowl of cold gruel in a Five Guys, don't worry—it’s just Johnny preparing for his big close-up. Tiny Tim better watch his back because this Scrooge isn't sharing his eyeliner with anyone.
