Depp's war of words with Australian deputy leader continues

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia's deputy prime has boasted that he got into Johnny Depp's head like fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter after the Hollywood actor quipped that the ruddy-faced lawmaker appeared to be "inbred with a tomato."

The exchange on Wednesday is the latest in a war of words that started a year ago when Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce threatened to have Depp's pet dogs, Boo and Pistol, put down.

The 52-year-old actor's wife Amber Heard pleaded guilty in a court last month to falsifying documents to conceal the pets when she arrived by private jet to join her husband on the set of the fifth movie in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series.

Depp ridiculed Joyce this week on the U.S. talk show "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"

Johnny Depp says Barnaby Joyce 'inbred with tomato'; Deputy PM hits back with Hannibal Lecter comparison

The battle between Johnny Depp and Australia's Deputy Prime Minister has re-ignited, with the Hollywood star saying Barnaby Joyce looks like he was "inbred with a tomato" and the minister declaring he is Depp's "Hannibal Lecter".

Depp, appearing on US talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live, was quizzed about the legal case which saw him and his wife Amber Heard plead guilty to illegally bringing their pet dogs into Australia in 2015.

"He looks somehow, like, inbred with a tomato," Depp said of Mr Joyce, who he called "Barnaby Jones".

Yeah exactly, what a gutless grub.

I'm no fan of Barnaby but johnny Depp is nothing more that sewer pipe scum, what a tool, couldn't leave his shitttty tappers at home and thought different rules would of applied to him because he thinks he's some big hotshot.

Maggot dogs should of been reduced to fertiliser and would have been if I were the minister.

Douchebag Depp, social retard.

[Scouse Twoccer]

That just confirms that he is a self-important moron who can hardly put a sentence together.

Your comments could apply to the pretentious Aussie clown of a politician equally as well. A Sir Les Paterson in the making.

Kimmell is right about Australia.

He speaks well of you

[dunroaming]

Oh please! Not worth our Australian friends getting their knickers in a twist over surely. It is just showbiz guys! In an interview in the UK this week Depp was asked if he wanted to make a declaration. He then admitted that he had brought seven toothbrushes into Britain and apologised accordingly.

No need to be so sensitive. It's not like it's about cricket or anything is it!

He comes across as a gutless moron and the host (Kimmell) of that show a grovelling toadie who did everything but tongue Depps ar*e. Another idiot celebrity who thinks laws don't apply to him.

Celebrity worship.....Sick to death of people giving so much attention to what actors do or say when they are not acting......most of them are real life ass clowns

Like DiCaprio picking up his environmental award in a private jet. What a joke, and they expect to be taken seriously?

[ammagic]

"Maggot dogs" - what an arse you are. These were obviously vaccinated dogs. In 60 years of pointless quarantine in the UK there has been not

1 - I repeat not 1 case of rabies. So they have given up in quarantine - likewise Australia. He just didn't follow the protocol of getting a pet passport. One can tell no dogs should be near you. Always around me 6 of them - all neutered, vaccinated & well behaved, Moronic comment!

Barnaby is indeed a clone of Sir Les Patterson......classic australians

I can understand the jealousy, great weather, high standard of living, and not overun with millions of welfare recipients or gun toting maniacs.

Great weather:

High standard of living:

Gun free:

Crikey Bruce!

[namatjira]

Actually Barnaby has done well to be likened to Sir Les Patterson........Sir Les being one extremely well respected ambassador, a true gentleman and a scholar....an Australian legend...

Unlike Kimmel or Depp, both grubby vermin.

[ammagic]

Well I have been to Australia 5 time - east/ west/ north. Great country - do I want to live there - no - jealous - absolutely not

[davemos]

Yeah lets give JDepp rabies and wait till he's even more precocious What a legend dick brain

[NovaBlue05]

Relax Mate's. It's Johnny Depp after all

[Cats4ever]

Joyce is a bloody dill - Depp has an overblown sense of entitlement. I definitely want quarantine to remain until respected scientists tell me it is no longer necessary.

[Chris Lawrence]

Sacha Baron Cohen has the best reply to all of this; Johnny Depp is running a mega dog smuggling ring. Tongue in cheek response. What do you expect taking animals into another country? Rabies is not in Oz but is in the US. Barnaby is a wankar, just last night he was saying that Indonesia promoted illegal boat people into OZ. Two wankars don't make it right.​

[Prbkk]

Joyce is not a popular figure in Australia but Australians don't take kindly to these uppity , entitled smart <deleted> believing they can do as they please. Depp is bad enough but the skanky, gold-digging, famous for nothing, 'look-at-me' cow he's married to is completely beyond the pale.

don't know about cow!....i'd stick one in her.........as previously said...he's an actor,what do you expect..

Didn't like the kissing of kimmel though......it makes one look like like such a brown-nose and adulescent...

Maybe the doggie episode is the reason they are divorcing.

http://edition.cnn.com/2016/05/26/entertainment/johnny-depp-amber-heard-divorce/

What do they get — one mutt each?

Or will they sue Barnaby Joyce for pressuring their relationship? Anything's possible these days.

[up2u2]

Barnaby can only dream to reach the lofty heights of international prestige commanded by Sir Les Patterson 'Cultural Attaché to the Court of Saint James'. A charismatic raconteur, a true Australian in every sense. Women find him irresistible. Quite understandable. Something Barnaby will never experience.
