“Hey, you know what? I needed the job”Depp said to the applause of the audience. After a first commercial break, the actor returned to the scene, albeit for a short time: “Hey, VMA, back to the fucking music, okay?”. However, it wasn’t until he returned after the second commercial break when he made one of his most infamous interventions of the night: “I just want you to know I am available for birthdays, bat mitzvahs, weddings, funerals, anything you need. Whatever. Oh, I’m also a dentist”.
Disguised as a lunar man
This is a question that might come to mind, What’s the point of seeing Depp at a music awards gala dressed as an astronaut? Well, the reason is quite simple. First, Depp has always been closely related to musicwe were also able to see him join guitarist Jeff Beck’s tour months ago, as well as release an album with him with some songs that seemed to contain the occasional indirect to Heard.
As for the costume, it is simply due to the theme of the awards. The statuette given to the winners each year by MTV talks about a little astronaut holding a flag with the logo of the television channel itself. The astronaut in question is known as Moonman and starred in one of the first advertising campaigns in MTV history.
