Angelina Jolie once revealed how she and Johnny Depp wasted a lot of film while shooting The Tourist. Here’s what happened next.
When two Hollywood A-listers like Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp come together for a film, you’d expect nothing short of cinematic magic. However, their collaboration in the 2010 movie “The Tourist” brought something entirely unexpected – moments of uncontrollable laughter that resulted in wasted film. Let’s revisit these memorable on-set antics and their enduring friendship.
The Tourist: A Pretend Couple’s Adventure: In “The Tourist,” Johnny Depp played Frank, an American man seeking solace in Italy after a painful breakup. Little did he know that his encounter with Angelina Jolie’s Elise, a charming fugitive, would turn his life into an exhilarating escapade. Amidst action, thrills, drama, and humor, their characters also shared a close bond and a steamy romance.
A Wasted Laughter Riot: While promoting the film, Angelina Jolie couldn’t help but shower praises on her co-star, Johnny Depp. She described him as not only a great actor but also hilariously entertaining. Their on-screen chemistry spilled over into real life, as they couldn’t stop laughing during certain scenes. Jolie revealed, “There’s some footage floating around, that I’m surprised hasn’t surfaced, of a good 15-20 minutes where we could not stop laughing. We wasted a lot of film. I got a lot of producers very frustrated because we just could not get through it.”
Instant Comfort and Bonding: What made their friendship even more remarkable was how comfortable Angelina Jolie felt around Johnny Depp right from the start. She shared that he had lots of books and pictures of his children, making him someone she immediately felt at ease with.
Beyond “The Tourist”: Although “The Tourist” may not have achieved the domestic box office success its makers hoped for, it left behind cherished memories of laughter and camaraderie between two Hollywood icons. While Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp never shared the screen space again, their enduring friendship continues to be a topic of fascination for fans.
