Can you guess who? Actor debuts new look on set of Mortdecai

Johnny Depp - Mortdecai Set

Hereeee’s Johnny… Or at least a guy who looks vaguely like him.

Johnny Depp got into character on the set of his upcoming crime-comedy, Mortdecai. He stars in the film as Charles Mortdecai, a “louche art dealer” who “must traverse the globe armed only with his good looks and special charm in a race to recover a stolen painting rumored to contain the code to a lost bank account filled with Nazi gold.” The film is based on Kyril Bonfiglioli’s The Mortdecai Trilogy.

Johnny Depp - Costume Mortdecai

The three original novels were published in the 1970s as Don’t Point That Thing At Me, After You With The Pistol and Something Nasty In The Woodshed. The film adaptation also stars Ewan McGregor and Gwyneth Paltrow.

For his role, Johnny bleached his hair and sported a moustache. Of course, that costume pales in comparison to his getups in Edward Scissorhands, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sweeney Todd and Alice in Wonderland. In fact, after filming for Mortdecai wraps, Johhny is set to reprise his role as the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland 2.
