Kevin Smith warned the cast of his new film Tusk to not be surprised by harsh criticism, but that didnt stop the directors friend, Johnny Depp, from accepting a cameo in the project. Justin Long, who stars in the film, told HuffPost Live about what it was like to work alongside Depp and revealed that fans can expect to see the famous Pirates of the Caribbean actor in future Kevin Smith films. His daughter and Kevin Smiths daughter have been friends since they were kids, and so I guess thats how [Smith] knows him, and he reached out to him and Johnny eventually said yes, he explained. [Depp] was intrigued right away. He didnt know if itd work out in his schedule, but he came and played for two days and was surprisingly good -- who knew Johnny Depp could act! To little surprise, Depps versatility shined even in his bit part. He has that playfulness, Long recalled. He has that whimsy that he kind of exorcises, and its fully on display in this movie. If you like old, quirky, weird Johnny Depp, then youre going to love this. But the mega-star was never a diva, Long noted. The set felt virtually unchanged once he arrived. Its a testament to Johnny how down to earth and weirdly normal he is that everything stayed the same, he said. There was a lot more excitement along the crew, obviously ... but hes so disarmingly down-to-earth. Hes just, Hi, Im John. Nice to meet you.
