But let's rewind to the story that unfolded during Depp's childhood.

In the film “The Rum Diary,” where he shared the screen with his ex-wife, Amber Heard, Depp portrayed a journalist who ignited fire with alcohol in his mouth.

I very dumbly chugged a little bit of gasoline and blew it into a torch, and my head was on fire.

That's true.”

Recounting the experience, Depp added, “It's a weird thing when your head is on fire.

You tend to panic first.

And then, when panic sets in and you cannot get your face out, you run, which is the worst thing you can do.

A friend of mine, a guy named Bones, came over and put my face out.

He saved my life.”

While such a harrowing incident would leave most scarred, Depp embraced the thrill of performing fire stunts in his role as Captain Jack Sparrow, stating, “I was very excited that night about the possibility of actually spewing fire.”
