Johnny Depp shoves 'midget down a toilet'
Johnny Depp shoves "a midget down a toilet" in Ricky Gervais' new TV series.
The actor has a cameo role in the comedian's upcoming sitcom Life's Too Short - which stars diminutive actor Warwick Davis as a fictionalised version of himself - and he has revealed he plays a violent dwarf.
Although Depp was a little shocked by the script at first, he insists the scenes are very funny and has praised Gervais' talents as a writer.
Speaking at the New York premiere of his new movie The Rum Diary - which is based on the novel of the same name by Hunter S. Thompson - he said: "Ricky's the funniest guy alive. I did a cameo for his HBO show Life's Too Short, which is out soon. You can't believe things he made me do.
"In it I play a dwarf, and he had me shove a midget down a toilet. He has this great sense of humour. I loved working with him. He's so hilarious, I'd marry him."
The Hollywood heartthrob joked the scenes are so shocking they could have a negative effect on his future career.
Depp, 48, added: "My email to him (Gervais) read, 'Upon this debut I anticipate an immediate 95 per cent plummet in my earnings. Thank you for ruining my career.'"
