Johnny Depp Tokyo Attack - Johnny Depp was, according to himself, "attacked" by a "chupacabra", which is why he missed out on a news conference in Tokyo Tuesday, reports the Los Angeles Times. The news conference the actor failed to appear at was reportedly for his new movie "Mortdecai."
Johnny Depp's Tokyo attack was explained the following day, Wednesday as the 51-year-old laughed and joked with journalists, explaining why he wasn't able to appear the day before, reports AP.
Depp might have mentioned that he had been battling a cold, however that wasn't the real reason for his failure to show up.
"I was attacked yesterday morning by a very rarely seen or experienced animal called 'chupacabra.' I fought with it for hours. They're very persistent, very mean," Johnny Depp explained of the Tokyo attack.
"And I'm pretty sure it came into my suitcase. I threw him off the 23rd floor. So we'll never see him again. Thank you for understanding," he added.
Meanwhile, the reaction of the crowd of reporters to Johnny Depp's Tokyo attack was nothing but laughter and mirth.
A chupacabra is a legendary, mythical creature that likes drinking livestock's blood. It is also said to live in some parts of the Americas.
Aside from Johnny Depp's Tokyo attack discussed during the press conference, he was also asked what his character in his film would do if he was in the room.
"He would probably say something like 'How do you do?'. My name is Charlie Mortdecai and I've come here to take as much money from you as I possibly can. and jewelry, and art, and stuff,'" replied Depp.
More than 200 journalists were reportedly kept waiting for about an hour before organizers canceled Tuesday's conference because of Depp feeling unwell.
"Mortdecai" reportedly tanked at the box office, making only an estimated $4.1 million in North America and $5.2 million elsewhere last weekend. The film is set for release in Japan on Feb. 6, according to USA Today.
