Johnny Depp in Budapest: the Hollywood celebrity posted in Hungarian

It seems the shooting of his latest film, Modi, is based on the life of Italian avant-garde painter and sculptor, Amedeo Modigliani. Of course, the world-known Hollywood actor worked with a Hungarian crew in Budapest, where he spent several weeks. With his latest gesture, he probably won the hearts of many Hungarians.

Johnny Depp drank too much in Hungary?

And he needs that very much. We wrote HERE that he was on a summer tour with his famous Hollywood Vampires band but cancelled their Budapest concert minutes before it started. The band was smuggled out from their hotel while thousands of people waited for them in the Papp László Budapest Sport Arena in vain. Organisers said they would like to reschedule the event, but because of the tight schedule of Depp, Alice Cooper and Joe Perry, that was not an option.

However, the Hungarians aiming to spend the evening with the band did not get their money back after the 60-day deadline for a refund. Therefore, some of them started to write emails. As a result, in some cases, disappointment turned into anger since many paid their ticket in advance.

Therefore, some Hungarians did not understand how Johnny Depp could come back to shoot his film, Modi, in the Hungarian capital. He answered that in an exclusive interview with Népszava, which we wrote about HERE.

Depp said that producers in Hollywood lacked creativity, so he could not make anything great in the United States. Doing so, he had to come to Europe, especially to Hungary, where he worked with a Hungarian crew.

And it seems he was satisfied with the work his crew did. We wrote HERE that it might be hard to work together with the Hollywood legend since he partied too much in the villa they rented for him in Budapest’s 16th district. “Sometimes there is chaos on the set. Johnny Depp might be a very talented and creative man, a world star with a real vision, but the events of the last few years seem to have taken a toll on him, because sometimes it seems like he’s not always on top of things… maybe he parties more than he should”, an insider said. Before, the Hollywood Vampires concert in Budapest was allegedly cancelled because Depp drank too much. But it seems the Hungarian crew was able to cope with all the difficulties during the shooting.

Depp thankful to his Hungarian crew

The actor and singer thanked his crew’s work in an Instagram post published yesterday.

“To my dear ‘Modi’ film family, Köszönöm for all your exceptional efforts without which this film could not have been made. Please accept my eternal admiration, appreciation, respect and love, JD. X.
[Budapest, 2023]”

Depp could not enter Budapest restaurant

It seems he won back people’s hearts since there are already more than a million likes on the post (and image) despite being shared only yesterday.

Modi will be about Italian avant-garde painter and sculptor Amedeo Modigliani. He (Riccardo Scamarcio) hides from the police during WWI in Paris and meets with an art collector portrayed by Al Pacino. Depp and Al Pacino played together in the 1990s in the gangster film Donnie Brasco.

Based on a statement of in2_film, the film’s production company, shooting ended five days ago.
