Kevin is a wonderful story teller. I could listen to him talk all day long.

I can almost picture Johnny being super polite even through text messages 🤣👌 good man for supporting Kevin

This is a prime example of how absolutely selfless Johnny is. He sounds like such an amazing person to be around.

Johnny Depp is the MF man for doing that for Kev for free. And he had a sense of humor with the whole dick nose thing. Good dude in my book. I like him even more now.

Even when I'm feeling let down by his movies, Kevin Smith seems like such a genuine guy.

Kevin as usual. If you don't get his comedy fine. But Fucking respect how humble he is and also he shits on himself for comedy and being real. He will make a Walrus movie and crack on how bad it is. I just don't see anyone else in Hollywood as good of a well rounded human being as him

And this is why people really like Johnny Depp. Not only is he an authentic and unique person - people just really like him. Fun story.

And he brings it around in the end to inspire the hell out of us.

Depp sounds like a good dude in real life.

Kevin's down to earth, firsthand, account of working with one of the world's greatest actors confirms the fact that Johnny Depp is a beautiful human being.

I just watched Tusk, had zero idea it was Johnny Depp. I was trying to figure out who it was and was not even considering it could be him. Loved that part, he killed it.

Kevin smith is my idol. Love this guy and his honest style of talking. This video made my respect for Johnny Depp skyrocket! I was always a fan but seeing how humble he was with Kevin just blew me away. I love Kevin's way of motivational speaking.

Johnny Depp played that character perfectly with the accent. i know i am from Quebec and he nailed it perfectly. plus he mentioned my hometown in the movie :)

Why did they fade away when Kevin was saying such important stuff? *_Your voice is your only currency in this life. This is the only thing that you can really bring to the table that's different._* Absolute genius. You gotta love this man.

I Love the way Kevin tells his stories... And I have Loved Johnie Depp literally ALL my life!! So Cool they got to work together!! 😅😅😅

"Oh my God, it's like getting a text from Lord Byron!" made me laugh out loud

Kevin forgot to mention that it was both his and Johnny Depp's daughter's film debuts, so that might have had a big part in making Johnny do the role

The more I watch Kevin's talks, the more I like him.

Kevin Smith used to sweat profusely when he sat and talked. Looking back, it's kind of crazy how he turned his overall health around after his heart attack. Good on you, Kevin!

when i found out johnny was in tusk i also wondered how the hell kevin got him to do it

Best line. 'I will step on my mothers neck to make this work. " 😆😜

Great video. I said fuck it and made a feature film called The Luring partly based on Kevin Smith telling me to just go for it like in this video. I'm now in post and so excited for taking a chance and I'm so grateful for the opportunity

Johnny Depp is one of a kind! Beautiful human 😂❤️

Dude, I loved Tusk. It was one of my favorite horror movies I had seen in awhile. It truly fucked me up for a few days.

"Your voice is your currency." That's exactly what I needed to hear. I mean, I've always known that on some deep intrinsic level, but sometimes you need to hear these things from people you admire for it to really hit home and resonate. Thank you so much!

Kevin is a sage-like storyteller, Johnny Depp is awesome, Tusk was one of the most original and interesting horror films I’ve seen in a while. So damn good!

johnny depp seems like the coolest human being ever

Kevin seems like the only normal guy in a maelstrom of madness

"your voice is the only thing that's different" best quote ever!

I showed Tusk to my 12 year old son, who has watched all the new horror movies with no reaction. This movie made him cry and really scared him.

This just popped up during the Depp Heard trial and it is somehow making me love Johnny more

It is amazing to hear a Kevin Smith story, he rambles it on (all interesting ramblings btw) and you just wonder what point he is getting to, then he brings it all together. It is awesome to see that a story about a time he ate a cake, gets to junior high school bullies, then to losing virginity and smoking weed comes full circle to eating a cake. He is an excellent story teller.

Kevin Smith is so down to earth he is both literally and genuinely the kind of guy you'd want to have a beer with...the great thing about him is he's so generous that all these interviews etc that he does, you don't even have to wonder about what an enjoyable night that would be or what a cool friend he would be, because he just willingly opens up in that way, like every fan kind of hopes their film heroes might do. He's so humble and reflective it's kind of mind blowing that he's had so much success in such a business - no matter what jokes he might crack, good naturedly, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are huge stars, have been in multiple of his films, not to mention cameos from superstars like Johnny Depp and George Carlin who clearly appreciate what a rarity such a thoroughly decent human being in such an ugly world as Hollywood etc, which speaks volumes about both them and Kevin himself. You 100% don't have to like his work, I'll give any Kevin Smith project a chance, can't think of anyone who has earned it more....I love his perspective on things anyway, no matter what nightmares a production might encounter (and there's no-one better for insights into just how much can, does or will go wrong, for us laypeople) or how things might turn out, I love his concepts: loved the idea of Tusk, loved the whole setup of Red State, loved the whole idea behind ..Chris Rock, forgot him too! And that great story about ad-libbing with the script. Man, I love Kevin Smith. Fucking great guy. Funny, warm, genuine, treats us like we're worthy of this level of honesty as an audience, which is basically a field he occupies on his own (name anyone in film, tv, entertainment at least of the old school variety who even comes CLOSE to this sincere, truthful and insightful), probably even to his own detriment...he's a fucking legend!

I like how he talks bad about his film, showing he doesn't care and just makes films for fun 🤣🤣

Johnny is the kind of celebrity all fans feel like they know personally though we don't

Kevin Smith and Johnny Depp are fuckin KINGS, dude. KINGS!

Thank you Kevin. That is exactly what I needed to hear at this moment in time.

Kevin Smith telling stories is always so interesting. Also, no one who has worked with Johnny Depp has anything bad to say about the man.

Dunno why he had such little faith in Tusk. Personally, i loved watching it. Best horror in years

I liked the stupid f'n walrus movie a lot more than I thought I would. It was amazingly creepy and well acted.

Im not the biggest fan of his movies, he definitely has some good ones, but Kevin has always been a great story teller!

Every one talks crap about TUSK and Depp in this film. He was so ridiculous and funny and in that film it saved it for me.

I met Depp a bunch of times in the early 90's when he was building The Viper Room. He is a sweet, humble, kind dude. One of the most real people in Hollywood I ever met. David Bowie and Michael Caine were also incredibly friendly, social people.

"..and stuff" Kevin Smith (Always) So great!

Depp is an artistic genius. Loved this story!!

This should be in Johnnys defense because Johnny had a Verbal agreement with Disney for the next Pirates movie but not on paper, just like this he actually did it.

We go from an amazing fun story to a very intuitive Life lesson good on you Kevin!!

This man is truly one of the most humble person in Hollywood

His relatability is off the charts. Idk if it would be possible not to get along with ks.

I love hearing this man talk about life.., he is the truest man I’ve listened too and always speaks from the heart..!

Tusk is the best thing Kevin has done since Chasing Amy man. Good s***.

I am just here watching videos of Kevin Smith talking about movies I have never watched! He is an amazing story teller!!!

I LOVE Kevin. He is so underrated. Plus how great is Johnny Depp?!

Kevin Smith is so eloquent with his words.. Even though he's always gotta drop something dirty in there, he sounds so poetic. This is why his dialogue is so great...because listen to him talk! This is just him freestyling..!

Damn, I'm Irish and the whimsical reference to child abuse as being beaten as a child got to me on how true that was(far less so now). Not whimping about it though just glad it was once acknowledge.

I sincerely appreciate his candidness Thank you. .

I've got some respect for Kevin for knowing the difference between a Quebec and French accent. Americans tend to assume Quebeckers speak the same as French people, as in from France.

The world's best story teller!

He was preaching real at the end. Never been a crazy fan of his movies but Kevin seems charming and charismatic.

Another reason to love Kevin Smith.......inspiration...

If only Depp could get this introduced into evidence as a character witness.

I've heard that saying before, that your voice is more valuable than any currency in this life. I love that!

Tusk was a goddamn fine movie if I say so myself, and I'm probably the only one to think so.

"Silent Bob" is the most ironic character for Kevin Smith to play. He can tell a story, but it never takes fewer than ten minutes. Just the best.

Best kevin smith interview I've ever seen

Damn man. I love you Kevin. Take a breath. No implications.

Tusk was a great movie and what a great cast. Omg was i shock to see Mr. Depp in the movie too. The ending was so sad i was hoping there was a way to help him. Thank You for a great movie

I wonder how many people know that Guy Lapointe was the name of a defenseman for Montreal in the 70s

This moment is so seared in his mind he told it word for word in another interview.

Did not know he made this and did not know depp was in it incredible... what a trip.. what a good vision to have ...

The long delays make sense knowing what JD was going through holy shit!

Re-enforces for me what an awesome guy Johnny Depp must be.

You can tell he loves what he does and it shows in in movies.

I honestly think this was one of Depp's best performances. There were soooo many layers to his character that I loved 🙂

Great story! Just shows how down to earth Johney is.

I watched this movie when it first came out and I had no idea Kevin smith directed it or that Johnny Depp was in it.

Wise Words Mr. Smith

This movie deserved more love

I had no idea when I first watched Tusk that it was Johnny Depp. Amazing, I love Kevin Smiths' films. Sometimes they aren't the best but who cares, I enjoy them. Justin and Kevin got to work together again, Die Hard movie and now Tusk. I enjoyed the film no matter what people think.

Kevin and Depp two of the best period

After watching the current trial, this just further speaks to Depp’s genuine character

Only seen this now..So cool...love it.

Kevin Smith is very inspirational.

This helps proves Johnny is the best ❤

Just saw this film today and I enjoyed it especially the building up to transformation

Loved the movie and after this story, I love it even more!

This was such a great story. Oh my god. Too friggin’ cool.

Damn the ending was inspirational

13:05 "Your voice is the only currency you have in this life. This is the only thing that you can really bring to the table that's different." Kevin Smith

I love him even more now.

Okay. If Kevin has to testify that'd be awesome. I'd finally watch. You know he'd be high in the middle of an 90 fast.

First time I watched it, I didn’t know it was Johnny Depp until the credits and I looked it up on google 😂

cut off to soon......this is brilliant. I work in a jr high school. I want to show this to the kids but can't. (not just the language stuff) I'm the janitor =/

True inspiration. His stories are fresh.

Beautiful last quote

Pure Class.

take a bong hit every time Kevin says Johnny depp

Johnny did a great job, very funny. And whimsical.

Guy Lapointe-less XD

I like the final publishing
