Setting the Record Straight
An insider close to Depp, however, is fervently dismissing these allegations. Not only is Johnny Depp working hard, but he’s also working smart, treating his cast and crew with kindness and respect.
“Johnny always looks after the cast and crew and treats people with kindness. There were weeks of very long night shoots; 12-14 hours. He works diligently, both on the script and on the very long days, and seems to be very passionate in bringing his visions to life,” the source revealed.

In fact, the source suggests that Depp deserves a lot of credit for moving past a difficult phase in his life and continuing to show immense dedication to his craft.
“He has moved on from a massive media assault that would have devastated anyone, but he showed incredible bravery and resilience. I absolutely admire his perseverance. I think it’s time for people to get on with their lives,” said the source.
Moreover, the source clarified that Depp’s preference for a residence over a hotel room is rooted in practical needs, emphasizing that after long working days, “he deserves privacy and quiet.”
Depp Backed by Professional Team, Claims about Assistant Director Debunked
Recent rumors have also claimed that the Assistant Director has been stepping in to save the day, which Depp is allegedly taking credit for. The insider vehemently refutes this.
“Johnny has a lot of responsibility as a film director and has to make important decisions. He invests so much passion and energy in the project, and is backed by his professional production team,” the source added.
As for the film itself, “Modì” is set in 1916 Paris and co-produced by Depp and Al Pacino. While the release date is yet to be confirmed, what is clear is that Johnny Depp is putting his all into this ambitious project. Perhaps it’s time for the world to see Johnny Depp in a new light, one that reflects not just the actor but the “brilliant visionary” he is.
“He is working hard, enjoying life, and deserves to reclaim his narrative as a film director, actor and the brilliant visionary that he is.”
