It's hard to imagine a world without Johnny Depp in movies, but that may be what will happen in the future, as the star hinted in a recent interview that he is considering quitting acting altogether, according to DigitalSpy.
In a recent "BBC Breakfast" interview, the 50-year old actor told Susanna Reid that he feels overworked in Hollywood, and is "not too far away" from quitting.
"When you add up the amount of dialogue you say per year and you realize you've said written words more than you've had a chance to say your own words, that becomes an insane option for a human being," Depp said. "Are there quieter things I wouldn't mind doing? Yes, I wouldn't mind that. I wouldn't say I am dropping out any second but I would say it's not too far away."
Depp most recently starred in box office bomb "The Lone Ranger," which received plenty of controversy for having a white actor (Depp) play a Native American character, Tonto, that many critics deemed stereotypical and even racist.
However, Depp responded to criticism in his own way, announcing that he was planning on purchasing the historic Wounded Knee massacre site, using millions from his own personal budget, with plans to give it back to the Native Americans.
Depp, who did extensive research before agreeing to play Tonto, explained that he was very "saddened" by what happened in December 1890 at the site of the massacre.
In his most recent interview, however, the interviewer wasn't as interested in topic of "The Lone Ranger" as she was in his possible upcoming revival roles.
When asked if he'd return to star in "Alice In Wonderland 2" or a fifth "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie, Depp confirmed, "No, I think we're alright in those categories."
The star recently attended the U.K. premiere of his latest film, "The Lone Ranger," which became a source of revenue loss for Disney after the high-budget production failed to become a blockbuster as expected.
