In July 2023, two news related to the American actor and Russia dispersed in Runet. So, at first there were reports that in the fall of Depp would come to Moscow, and later - that he shot a video message for Russians. We checked whether these stories of reality correspond to.
Will Depp true will soon come to Russia?
July 10 on the possible visit of the Hollywood star to Moscow reported "Gazeta.ru" with reference to the press service of the Yamora group. According to representatives of Russian musicians, the depp fee will be $ 370,000 (it is specified that the amount was supposed to be larger, but the actor allegedly agreed to less money, provided that he would conduct a tour of the country).
The news was widely dispersed through other media outlets (in the newspaper "Komsomolskaya Truth»On this topic It turned out Three at once material), as well as on social networks-for example, on VKontakte, where many publics about cinema and pop culture (examples here And here). In addition, such publications were placed by verified accounts of the cinema network "Cinema is old"And radio Energy. Moreover, often in such posts even Not mentioned Russian group and it is claimed that the visit Walk up Depp himself.
In the material "Gazeta.ru" It is saidthat negotiations with the Depp team have been conducted since 2018, namely from the moment performances Actor in the Hollywood Vampires group in Olympic. At the same time, the musician “Yamora” Mikhail Lisov clarifies that nevertheless negotiations began only a couple of years later: “Basically, all these years we talked in the spirit:" How is life? " In 2020, we had the idea to record a joint song, we threw this idea to the Depp management. For two years, negotiations have been ongoing, everything has become more complicated by the fact that Depp was suing Amber Hurd. A year ago - after the victory in court - they wrote to me that he was ready to come. " In the same text reportedthat Depp will come to Moscow, but at the same time, the tour, which was allegedly requested by the team of the star of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” in exchange for lowering the fee, is planned in the Kaliningrad region.
“In two weeks, we have a video call with an actor. Exciting, of course, although Johnny is very easy to communicate, does not build anyone, a cool man. Preparations for his arrival are already actively underway, and the realization that this is not a dream was not yet arrived, ” - transfers Lisov’s words “Gazeta.Ru”. In social networks "Yamora" specifiedthat the plans of Russian musicians record a guitar party with Depp to one of their tracks and that now they are "at the most difficult stage - organizational." Over the following days, artists released Another couple posts About why they chose Depp. At the time of the publication of this analysis, two weeks passed, and there were no new details about the arrival of an American artist from the group.
“Verified” could not find news notes on the possible visit to the Depp of Russia in any authoritative or at least a well-known foreign publication about cinema, music, and in general on pop culture. It would seem that a similar decision of the Hollywood celebrity, to the person of which in recent years, the special attention of the press has been focused on, at least leading tabloids should have been written. There are no references to the autumn visit to Moscow or Kaliningrad and in Instagram* And Facebook* Depp, a schedule In the "Music" section on the artist’s personal website is tour Hollywood Vampires Group until July 30, 2023 (in the plan there are European countries, the Russian Federation is not among them).

In a personal conversation with “verified” Mr Texas said that he had information about Depp from the corporate chat in WhatsApp. However, he refused to share the original message. The EARMUSIC press service did not answer the request “verified”.

Twitter users asked Deuters whether it would be true in the fall of Depp to visit the Russian Federation, what he answered: "There will be no visits to Russia."
An additional argument can be considered the presence of a set in the network photo-, video- And oral evidence that during the performance of the Caver on the composition of Heroes (“Heroes”) David Bowie on various performances by Hollywood Vampires on the screen behind the artists showed the Ukrainian flag, and thus the team expresses its support to the country.
It is noteworthy that back in February 2023 in an interview with the same Gazeta.Ru Mikhail Lisov toldthat the Yamora group is going to shoot a video in Alla Pugacheva and Maxim Galkin in the village of Gryaz. It is clarified that the team participants for about a year were looking for a location for filming. “All communication happens through a person who is now engaged in the sale of a house. I don’t know how directly this is agreed with Alla Pugacheva, because negotiations are underway through intermediaries, ”said Lisov. Moreover, in July, the Gazeta.Ru itself notedWhat has not yet received any information about whether the team really shot its video in the house of artists.

But was this appeal in general is addressed only to the Russians?
