He was quoted by Vanity Fair as saying: "Well, you just feel like you're being raped somehow. Raped. The whole thing. It feels like a kind of weird, just weird, man...Whenever you have a photo shoot or something like that, it's like—you just feel dumb. It's just so stupid."
If you asked us, this is more than just an unwise PR move, but also an utterly inconsiderate thing to say. Apparently the 48-year-old superstar has not learnt anything from Stewart’s lesson earlier on.
Sure enough, his remarks make him the target of RAINN – the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network – which fired back in no time.
Katherine Hull, a spokesperson for the network, told E! Online: "While photos may feel at times intrusive, being photographed in no way compares to rape—a violent crime which affects another American every two minutes.
"RAINN welcomes the opportunity to speak with Mr. Depp and educate him about the real life experiences faced by survivors every day, and ways that he can work with RAINN to help."
Depp's camp has yet to respond to that. Despite his despise for photo shoots, the actor is apparently okay with posing and acting in movies including popcorn fares like the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, which brought him “the stupid money”.
"I mean, it's not for me. At this point, it's for my kids,” said the actor, who has two children with French singer-actress Vanessa Paradis.
