There's one part that Johnny Depp doesn't want to play -- an Oscar winner.
While critics have been hailing Depp's intense turn as Boston mobster Whitey Bulger in "Black Mass" as award worthy, the actor himself blanches at the idea of having to walk up to the podium to claim an Academy Award.
"I don't want to win one of those things ever, you know," Depp told BBC's Newsbeat at the London Film Festival premiere of his new movie Sunday.
"I don't want to have to talk."
Depp just wants to act, not act like a movie star.
"The idea of winning means that you're in competition with someone and I'm not in competition with anybody," he said.
Depp has been nominated for the most prestigious statuette in the film industry three times -- for "Pirates of the Caribbean" (2003), "Finding Neverland" (2004) and "Sweeney Todd" (2007).
"They gave me one of those things, like a nomination, two or three times," Depp told the British news program. "A nomination is plenty
There were plenty of skeptics who wondered if he'd ever get another one at the rate he was going. Depp's image as an actor took a major hit after poorly reviewed box office flops including "The Lone Ranger" (2013), "Transcendence" (2014) and "Mordecai" (2015).
Many in the industry have seen "Black Mass" as his comeback vehicle; a reminder to audiences that there's more to him than what they've seen on screen in the last few years.
Just don't tell that to Depp himself.
What did I come back from? The dead?" he told the BBC. "I haven't done anything different in this than I have in any other film."
It's an honor.
