Joe Rogan Reveals Johnny Depp’s “Love of Hunter Thompson” Amidst Personal Phone Call

The whole world is interested in the court case between Johnny Depp, and Amber Heard. UFC’s Joe Rogan and Brendan and Brendan Schaub too have been following the trial. In a new episode of ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’, they discussed the same.

The famous Spotify podcaster revealed that he does not know Johnny Depp well but has interacted with him before. He also spoke of Depp’s love for Hunter Thompson. He said, “I think he’s probably a really nice guy, and he had great moments with her. And he keeps going back to those great moments … Johnny, I don’t know Johnny well. I’ve talked to him before but I know of his career and I know of his love of Hunter Thompson.”

As reported by ‘The Richest‘, the actor had an unconditional friendship with Thompson. Both met at Woody Creek Tavern in Aspen, Colorado. Depp was a fan of Thompson’s work. Their friendship thus only flourished. As a result, Johnny Depp played Thompson’s character in ‘Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas’.

“I met him once personally in the comedy show, but I talked to him on the phone for an extended period of time once when he was dealing with all this sh*t and I think he is a really good guy,” Rogan added.

Johnny Depp: What is his connection to the UFC?

While the actor has never been to a UFC event, his high-profile case against Amber Heard has attracted even the UFC’s attention. Apart from Rogan, middleweight fighter Sean Strickland had certain things about Depp. He took a dig at the ‘Pirates of the Carribean’ actor.

Further, their court case seems to have created problems for UFC women’s bantamweight fighter Raquel Rocky Pennington. Many confused the MMA fighter with a witness from the case who happens to have the same first and last name. Hence, she clarified the mistake on Twitter.

In addition to this, the Hollywood star also met Conor McGregor in Rome in 2021. Depp thus also tasted some of McGregor’s Proper Twelve.

Thus, it looks like everyone has their eyes on the Depp-Heard court trial. What do you think?
