Is Joe Rogan a gambling addict? When Johnny Depp’s role almost made UFC commentator do drugs
AUSTIN, TEXAS: Joe Rogan has a unique ability to inject humor into every presentation. 'The Joe Rogan Experience' is one of the most well-known podcasts because of the 55-year-old commentator's funny phrases and antics. The commentator always has some fascinating ideas and anecdotes to give in each episode.
The American comedian Theo Von was invited by the UFC pundit and actor to appear on one of his shows. The show's presenter, Joe Rogan, brought up the Johnny Depp film Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas during their exchanges.
‘That movie makes me wanna do drugs’
Benicio Del Toro, Johnny Depp's co-star, was mentioned by actor Von during a talk with Joe Rogan and his guest. The 60-year-old actor co-starred in the film 'Fear and Loathing' in Las Vegas alongside the 'Traffic' actor.
Terry Gilliam was the director of the film, which debuted on May 19, 1998. The presenter of Rogan's show mentioned Del Toro and remarked that he is a cool actor. The actor and comedian also said that the comedy-adventure film made him want to use drugs.
“He is cool. I remember when he was in the Johnny Depp movie about Hunter S. Thompson- ‘Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas’. Oh, that was a great movie. He got fat for that movie, too. That was a f**king great movie. That movie makes me wanna do drugs,” Rogan said.
“Basically, wanna do drugs and go to Vegas. Fun f**king times,” he added.
‘If you are doing that, you’re doing it to try and hurt someone’
Johnny Depp prevailed in the defamation case against his ex-wife Amber Heard in 2022. Every social media platform had the Depp vs Heard hashtag trending, and it was everywhere. Rogan shared his opinions on this subject in one of the earlier episodes. Rogan stated in reference to the 'Blow' actor and the 'Aquaman' actress.
“There’s a lot of guys who wanted a guy to win one of these things, you know? But it’s just not good to not be honest. If you are doing that, you’re doing it to try and hurt someone,” Rogan said.
According to the podcast presenter, ever since the trial got public, it has become a Men vs Women issue. The 37-year-old actress was cruelly trolled by internet users after the 60-year-old actor won the lawsuit.
