Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp, both iconic figures in the entertainment industry, shared the screen in the 2010 action thriller, “The Tourist.” While the film garnered global success, behind the scenes, Angelina Jolie faced an unexpected challenge during intimate kissing scenes with Johnny Depp – his reportedly unpleasant breath.
In “The Tourist,” Depp portrayed Frank, an American who travels to Italy to heal his broken heart. There, he crosses paths with Angie’s character, Elise, a fugitive, and their encounter leads to a thrilling adventure involving mobsters and the police, intertwined with moments of romance.
Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp’s on-screen pairing generated immense anticipation among fans eager to witness these two titans together. While their chemistry on screen was palpable, the off-screen dynamics presented a different story. Reports surfaced, suggesting that Johnny Depp had issues with bad breath, which posed a challenge during intimate scenes in the movie.
In light of this issue, Angelina Jolie took an unconventional step, requesting that the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star rinse his mouth with mouthwash before shooting intimate scenes. She even reportedly offered him mints as a considerate gesture prior to these scenes.
Insiders revealed that Johnny Depp’s on-set persona was distinct from his off-screen self. While he displayed professionalism on set, it didn’t necessarily extend to his personal hygiene. A source remarked, “When Johnny shows up for work or travel, he’s usually in bad shape. He’ll be a total expert if he shows up for work on set, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be shiny and clean. His hair, makeup, and costume teams are in charge of his movie looks. In person, he’s quite a character.”
Despite the unconventional challenges faced during the making of “The Tourist,” Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp managed to bond well on set. It’s worth noting that during that time, Angelina was in a relationship with her now ex-husband, Brad Pitt. The couple tied the knot in 2014 but later filed for divorce in 2016.
