Johnny Depp made an unexpected, unrecognizable entrance in character as Ebenezer Scrooge on the streets of San Diego, stepping out from a Scrooge & Marley shop facade complete with snow and Christmas carolers. Depp—who shares kids Lily-Rose Depp, 27, and Jack Depp, 24, with ex Vanessa Paradis—briefly interrupted the merriment in full Scrooge mode.
Surprising the crowd
Depp popped out of the building and yelled at the singers to “stop,” as seen in an Instagram Story posted to the film’s account July 23. He handed out more candy—which he then decided to eat himself—before telling the crowd they were “very, very strange people” and heading back inside with a final, “Humbug.”
A return to the big screen
Ebenezer marks Depp’s first film on the big screen since 2023’s Jeanne du Barry.
