Johnny Depp wants whisky funeral

Johnny Depp wants to be placed in a "whisky cask" at his funeral, so mourners can drink from it.
The Hollywood actor is currently starring in The Rum Diary, which is based on the novel of the same name by Hunter S Thompson.
Johnny's morbid idea was inspired by the late author, who committed suicide in 2005. He requested his ashes be fired from a cannon on top of a tower.
Now Johnny has other ideas following his own death.
"I could go in a whisky cask and everyone can take a sip," he told British newspaper The Sun.
Johnny honoured his friend's wish following his death at the age of 67. The American actor reportedly spent two million dollars to have a tower and cannon erected for Hunter's funeral in Colorado.
"Hunter had dreamed of a special way to go. He wanted to be fired from a cannon," he explained. "Brilliant! So I built a huge cannon after his death in 2005 and fired his ashes into the sky."
Johnny is starring as journalist Paul Kemp in the Bruce Robinson-directed The Rum Diary, which also features Amber Heard and Aaron Eckhart.

He is the man just like Hunter S Thompson was the man..
@ MyThoughts #5: That's right, whiskey for Irish and bourbon, whisky for Scotch.
Chris #1 might be aware of that and could just be a Scotch fan, who knows.
At what point does he say he "WANTS"? I believe he is quoted as saying "I could go in a whisky cask and everyone can take a sip," he told British newspaper The Sun. He said he "COULD". That doesn't mean he wants! Get the facts right if you are going to print such stupid stories. This isn't even news, i wouldn't even call it gossip. Just media hype to get people to the movies. I like to call this JUNK NEWS.
whoa! I've never think of that.. Awesome... sorry but I've been speechless lately... >>>nothing to display<<<
I think Depp has become as mad as a hatter and getting pottier as the days go by....it's a fate that befalls many a Hollywood star...

#5 your correct :) two different spellings for whiskey all based down to where its stilled! The real mcoy is good old whiskey ;)
Yeah! Of course, due to displacement, some of the whisky would have to be run off, I'd rather sip from that portion to be honest.

Christ I'd be happy if he'd make a good movie again. So much talent wasted on the crap he's made ever since 2003. Such a shame.
