CANBERRA, Australia – 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!”
