Actors are just like regular people who get infatuated with other actors after watching them in a film. Angelina Jolie is no different. In her memoir, Angelina: An Unauthorized Biography, Jolie is described as a ‘goth girl’ who grew up loving knives and death. After watching Depp’s portrayal in the 1990 film Edward Scissorhands, she developed a crush on him. “Angie was smitten with actor Johnny Depp, who played Edward, an isolated figure with scissors for hands. The movie’s themes of alienation and self-discovery spoke to the angst-ridden Angie.”

Jolie’s childhood dream came true when she got to work with Depp. When she read the script for The Tourist, she was searching for a short project before her then-husband, Brad Pitt, would start filming Moneyball. Angelina told Vogue she and Pitt would ensure one always stayed home while the other worked. “We take turns working. One of us is always at home with the kids, taking them out to things and being there with them to school or to the set to visit Mommy or Daddy.”

While filming, the Beyond Boarders star stayed with Pitt and her six kids, Knox, Vivienne, Maddox, Pax, Shiloh, and Zahara, in a villa in the Grand Canal. She couldn’t put into words how much everyone enjoyed her working in the beautiful city. Those moments are but a memory now since Pitt and Jolie divorced and are engaging in a grueling court battle over their vineyard in France.

Why Johnny Depp And Angelina Jolie Didn’t Get Along While Filming The Tourist

Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp have been successful Hollywood actors for years, so you’d think they’d have met before. Though the stars attended the same award shows, their first meeting was right before filming The Tourist began in Italy. Jolie said they sat down for almost two hours, discussing their love for France and parenting their children. Depp lived in Paris with Vanessa Paradis and his children Lily-Rose and Jack Depp.

In the 2010 film, Jolie plays an elegant woman named Elsie Clinton-Ford, while Depp plays an American named Frank, who meets her while on vacation in Italy. The two were excited to work together on the film and go head-to-head, but he wasn’t the easiest actor to work with. Especially when it came to the kissing scenes, Jolie had a terrible time with Depp because of his foul breath.

Since The Rum Diary actor is a serious chain smoker, his breath was always an issue for the actress. Before kissing scenes, she would ask Depp to use a bottle of mouthwash and even offer him mints. In addition, the actor’s hygiene was also lacking. Sources close to Depp have said when he shows up to work, he is often late and in bad shape. “He’ll be a total expert if he shows up for work on set, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be shiny and clean. His hair, makeup, and costume teams are in charge of his movie looks.”

The Changeling star had also requested Depp to cut his hair for the role to give him a cleaner look; however, he wasn’t for the idea. Sources say Depp thought Jolie was full of herself while filming The Tourist and would stay in his trailer until he gets called out again. “She’s getting fed up with Johnny. Their chemistry was supposed to fly off the charts, but in private, they’re not getting along.”

Despite the messy details regarding her time on set with Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie has nothing but good things to say about her co-star during the film’s press runs. The Tomb Raider star told The Japan Times it was always her dream to work with Depp. “Of course, I always wanted to work with Johnny Depp. What actress hasn’t? I’ve thought he was the coolest thing for years. I practically grew up with him and had such a crush on him in Edward Scissorhands.

Jolie said, “We really enjoyed working with each other in the film, and I hope that comes across.” According to Variety, Depp followed suit with the compliments, “She’s everything. She’s kind of a walking poem, Angelina is. She’s this perfect beauty but at the same time very deep, very smart, very quick, very clever, very funny, and also has a very perverse sense of humor.”

The Tourist wasn’t a hit when it came out in the United States, grossing only $10.8 million during its opening weekend. But it was a hit internationally, earning $278 million. In another interview, Jolie said Depp was a joy to be around on set.“For about 20 minutes to half an hour, we could not stop laughing. We wasted a lot of film, and the producers got a little frustrated because we just couldn’t get through it. His character, Depp, was a clown on set. His outfits are very funny, too.”

Even though Jolie had initially been excited to work with Depp, the experience on set must have put her off the actor a little. Though they didn’t get along, Depp and Jolie have remained respectful of each other and their families. So Jolie’s crush might have ended after kissing Depp a few times, but at least they are friends.
