Johnny Depp gave an interview to Rolling Stone and it's every bit as bonkers as you might expect. In the story, published Thursday, reporter Stephen Roderick said it had taken 200 emails to get in a room with Depp, who brought him to his London home and indicated he was ready to 'bare his soul about his empty bank accounts.' The veteran actor, 55, is locked in a legal battle with his former business managers over his dwindling fortune. Last year, he sued The Management Group for US$25 million ($36.2m), alleging the company mismanaged nearly US$400 million through fees he didn't agree to, incurring late fees via delinquent income tax filings and making loans to themselves and members of his entourage that he didn't approve. TMG promptly countersued him, saying he frittered away his own money on extravagances and ignored their warnings that he couldn't afford to keep spending at that pace. If his intention for the interview (arranged by Depp's lawyer Adam Waldman, an American consultant with ties to Vladimir Putin) was to counteract the notion that he's out of touch with reality or knock down the reports of his outlandish spending - including US$30,000 a month on wine, 14 pieces of real estate, an US$18 million yacht and 45 luxury cars - it's not clear he succeeded.

He may have actually made his situation worse. READ MORE:. And because this is Depp, an acolyte of Hunter S Thompson, there was some drug talk, too. Read for yourself: Here are a few of the most notable revelations from the story.

This Rolling Stone profile of Johnny Depp is BRUTAL in a way that most celeb profiles would never dare to be. It pulls no punches in showing just how pathetic Depp has become in his age of lazy self-parody, but doesn't give him the pity he seems to crave.— Kayleigh Donaldson (@Ceilidhann) Depp had no idea he was behind on his taxes 'I just had no clue,' the actor told Roderick, who observed the tax discussion was 'one of the few moments when he looked genuinely worried' about his financial situation. He accused TMG of paying his taxes late for 13 consecutive years, thereby incurring US$6 million in late fees.

Depp continued, 'If you're knowingly not paying the United States government taxes, somebody is gonna (expletive) catch up with you and hand you a bill and you'll probably go to the pokey.' Miriam Fisher, a tax attorney brought in by the actor's business managers to navigate a way out of the tax problems, sided with Depp on this issue. She told the magazine, 'TMG had a lot of options, and they chose the worse one: make the IRS your creditor.'

'Because it was far more.'

The same goes for the rocket he used to launch the ashes of his idol, Hunter S Thompson, into the sky exactly one foot higher than the Statue of Liberty. 'By the way, it was not $3 million to shoot Hunter into the (expletive) sky,' he noted. 'It was $5 million.' He's sorry quaaludes went out of style Depp expressed remorse that that the prescription sedative isn't as available for recreational use as it was once.

(The drug was taken off the market in 1985 but remained popular until the 1990s and was allegedly used by Bill Cosby to subdue accuser Andrea Constand in the incident that led to his conviction.) Why was he such a fan? 'They're made with just a little bit of arsenic, or strychnine so the high was far more immediate,' he told the magazine, adding that when you took quaaludes, 'you either wanted to smile and just be happy with your pals, or (expletive), or fight.' He would have used LSD instead of Seal Team Six on Osama bin Laden 'You get a bunch of (expletive) planes, big (expletive) planes that spray (expletive), and you drop LSD 25,' he says.

'You saturate the (expletive) place. Every single thing will walk out of their cave smiling, happy.' He once roomed with a bank robber and gave his roommates scabies Depp recalled coming home from a cheap hotel to the flophouse he shared with roommates during his early days in LA. Within hours he said, everyone was scratching themselves furiously.

After shaving his body, he found the culprit: mites. 'I gave everyone scabies,' Depp said. 'You know how hard it is to tell your roommates that?'

On the upside, he noted, 'My roommate couldn't say much. He was a bank robber.'
