But daring the production of the biopic of the late eccentric director Ed Wood, considered the best worst director in Hollywood, the actor had a funny incident with the late filmmaker’s wife.

Johnny Depp Feared Meeting Ed Wood’s Wife While Being in Drag
After Kathleen O’Hara requested screenwriter Scott Alexander’s production assistant to meet Johnny Depp, who was playing her late husband, there was a moment of panic for Johnny Depp.
Considering the actor was in drag and smeared make-up, following the demand of the scene they were filming, Depp was petrified about its impression on O’Hara.
Fortunately, Kathy O’Hara wasn’t displeased by the scenario she witnessed and even went on to commend Depp and further assisted the actor with playing the late director.
“It was strange because she came on the set, she just showed up on the set one day.” Depp recalled.
“I think she was at a bus stop or something, and was in the neighborhood, and saw signs that said Ed Wood with arrows pointing to the set.
You know, and she came by and I was in complete drag.
And she didn’t bat an eye, she didn’t blink. She just… she actually said ‘You look so much like Eddie’.
She was really sweet to me and very supportive… And she helped me out with a lot of things.”
Depp didn’t disappoint Kathy O’Hara, as he delivered an impeccable performance in the Burton-led film, and deservedly earned his third Golden Globe nom for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy.
