Johnny Depp gossiped about his ‘Public Enemies’ co-stars in French.
The 46-year-old actor has revealed he and French beauty Marion Cotillard
would speak to each other in the European language so cast and crew members
would not know what they were talking about.
He said: “We would sometimes speak French to each other on the set,
especially when we didn’t want anyone else to know what we were saying!”
However, the 33-year-old actress quickly grew tired of speaking in her
native language because she felt it was affecting her acting.
She said: “Johnny’s French is excellent. But I could not let myself lapse
into speaking a lot of pure French with Johnny. I was working so hard to
really perfect the accent of my character Billie Frechette, and that was not
easy. She was of mixed heritage – both French and Native American – and
supposedly had an accent that was quite different.”
Johnny – who lives in the South of France with his long-term partner Vanessa
Paradis and their two children, 10-year-old Lily-Rose and Jack, seven –
praised his co-star for her acting skills and can understand why his
character was attracted to Billie.
He said: “Marion really worked hard on that accent, and I think the way she
speaks in the film adds so much to the personality of the character she
plays. You can see why Dillinger fell in love with her so easily.”
Although Johnny and Marion were happy to gossip off-screen, their co-star
Christian Bale admits he was more reclusive.
He said: “I wish to not talk unless we're doing the scene. I enjoy it that
way. Johnny seemed happy to do it that way, too. So the answer is, no, we
really didn't get to know each other better between each take.
"So I guess I'll have to wait and get to know Johnny Depp someday."
