8 Famous Actors Who Beefed With Disney

8. Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp has had a bit of a rough couple of years when it comes to his film career. Whilst he certainly isn't down for the count, his very public spat with his ex-wife Amber Heard has led to him being dropped from projects such as the next Fantastic Beasts film and the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

Depp's beef with Disney goes back a little further, however, as in a 2018 interview with GQ magazine he revealed that his time on set wasn't always the most comfortable experience - or, as he put it, "Disney hated me".

Whilst filming the first Pirates of the Caribbean film, Depp clashed with Disney producers and execs over his portrayal of Jack Sparrow. He argued with the producers constantly over his acting style, to the point where he told them to fire him if they hated his work that much.

Depp also said Michael Eisner, Disney's former CEO, "couldn't stand" the way he played Jack Sparrow, and was even quoted saying Depp was "ruining the movie" and wondered if he was "some kind of simpleton". Maybe the $500 million in profits for the first Pirates of the Carribean film changed Eisner's mind?
