Movie star Johnny Depp is urging his home quarantine fans not to let themselves down, get creative, create something the way he does: he’s currently working on a joint album with rock guitarist Jeff Beck.
According to an article in The Guardian, the Hollywood star and 75-year-old musician colleague also released a remake of John Lennon's song Isolation at the same time as the announcement of the new album. Beck put it this way, in these difficult days, and in the real isolation that people live in, it’s time to rework the classic Lennon number.
Depp recently joined Instagram and instantly became a follower of nearly two million.
In his post, the star encouraged everyone not to surrender to the "hellish monotony of quarantine," but to be creative even in times of crisis. "Create something that you will use for yourself or others in the future. Do anything that you think might boost someone's day. Draw, read, paint, learn, make a movie with your phone, play an instrument you know, and if not, learn "," Depp said.
The actor has been involved in music before, founding the Hollywood Vampires rock band in 2015 with Alice Cooper and Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry.
Depp’s latest film, Waiting for the Barbarians, made from JM Coetzee’s novel starring Mark Rylance and Robert Pattinson, premiered worldwide last fall’s festival season, but hasn’t hit theaters yet. And the premiere of his drama Minamata, in which he co-stars with Bill Nighy, would be this fall. Meanwhile, the filming of episode 3 of The Legendary Animals and Their Observation, in which he would also have worked, had to be postponed due to the coronavirus epidemic.
