I’ve always wondered why people stayed so silent on this. Actors who appears to be musicians using the movie industry just to get into the music industry. Johnny Depp finally calls it! This always bothered me too.

There are WWAAAAaaayyyyy too many actors who have used their movie career to get into the music industry. Lets list them all shall we??? We have: Russell Crowe, Jared Leto, Bruce Willis, Steven Seagal, Kevin Bacon, Billy Bob Thornton, Kevin Costner, Jeff Bridges, Ryan Gosling, William Shatner, etc. This list is pretty endless.
I think it’s safe to say that if it weren’t for their movie careers, they would have never gotten record deals.
Before anyone calls Johnny a hypocrite, Johnny is not a full time musician. He has never released albums on his own like all those actors I listed above. He was never in the music business full time. He did play in the band called, The Kids but that was before his fame, I think. They weren’t really a big band anyway.
I’m glad Johnny finally called this out!!! \m/
