DailyDish: Johnny Depp doesn't give a (bleep) about his box-office bombs

He works constantly, gives his all and can take on basically any role, but sadly, Johnny Depp is earning a reputation as a box office bomber after some BIG flops in recent years.

Yeah, let's not even discuss the epic fail that was summer 2013's Lone Ranger.

But, he doesn't really give a you-know-what about being a hot Hollywoood commodity, he claims.

In fact, Depp tells Details mag that he's taking a zen approach to his career, much like his idol, the late, great Marlon Brando, who made plenty of turkeys at the end of his career. Depp says:
What is really satisfying is, like Marlon, getting to that place where he just didn't give a (F-bomb). First, I reached a point where I cared so much and was so diligent in terms of approaching the work. Then you get to where you care so (bleeping) much that it gets (damn) beleaguering, you know? But then a great thing happens. Suddenly you care enough to not give a (bleep), because not giving a (bleep), that's the total liberation. Being game to try anything.
He adds that, ironically, being astronomically successful -- like he was with the Pirates franchise -- feeds into the whole flop syndrome:
It's like being a dog at the track. They expect you to live up to some race you happened to be in and won accidentally. From that first second, you're nothing more than a commodity. They have expectations of another Pirates. It's great if something works. Boy, that's killer. But God, to have that as your design...it's ugly, I think.
Well, there you have it. Zero (F-bombs) given.

For now, we've got our fingers (claws?) crossed that his turn as the big bad wolf in the upcoming Into the Woods will set him back on the golden path. Because, he obviously needs the money -- or not.
