Johnny Depp thinks acting is similar to being in a band.

The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star - who is also part of rock band Hollywood Vampires - takes the same approach to both parts of his life as in both cases, he is being a "character".
He told Classic Rock magazine: "When you're playing though it's not remembering lines or serving the scene, or serving the script or whatever, the vision. On stage, it's the same sort of thing, you're still serving - you're serving the song but more you're serving the moment. I think every actor should walk into a scene with the idea that this could f***ing fail miserably. I think it's important to take those risks.
"It should be scary. You've got a f***ing character that you've come up with and you believe in, and you feel a very strong foundation of this character beneath you. It's the same approach really you know, just go and improvisation as always, the best thing because, I think some of the best performances of any recording artist, especially the early recordings, it's f***ing chance."
Meanwhile, Johnny previously admitted he hates watching himself on screen and claims he was "absolutely horrible at auditioning" when he was younger.
He said: "I hate watching myself on screen. I can't stand it. I was a young idiot. I recognised that this [auditioning] process really had far less to do with performance and far less to do with connecting. So in my mind I always thought, to put it in a very nice way, this is horses**t. It's an uncomfortable place to be where you feel you must be 'on.'"
