The death of George Floyd has truly moved the world. Actors and celebrities from across the world have raised their voices against systemic racism in the US. Hollywood actor Johnny Depp has now taken to Instagram to express his own sadness over the death of George Floyd. Depp joined his friend Killer Mike and raised his voice against racism. Depp has called the death of Floyd grotesque and senseless.
Taking to Instagram Johnny Depp said, "As the majority of American people, our global community and our extended family of humans helplessly watched a man die on television. I too, was exposed to the atrocity of blatant barbarism, ruthless cruelty and unmitigated lack of humanity. A handcuffed man, pleading for his life lay prone with the full weight of a man sworn to defend the peace on his neck."
"Justice, I desperately hope, will address the horror of Officer Chauvin's nonchalance and indifference to his participation in the agony, suffering and ultimately the murder of our fellow traveler George Floyd in a grotesque illustration of the abuse of power!" he added
Johnny Depp also expressed that he is truly heartbroken due to the racist incident that took place last week in Minneapolis. He added saying, "There is no way to make sense of what is senseless. There is no way to restore a life that has been taken. Just as there is no way to un-break a heart that is broken."
The Pirates of the Caribbean actor concluded writing, "What we can do is make a vow to ourselves that racism and the ignorance inherent in such judgmental ugliness that it gives birth to, is NO LONGER AN OPTION!!! THERE MUST BE A CHANGE!!! DEMAND IT!"
