Johnny Depp Compares Photo Shoots to Rape: Who Is the Most Ungrateful Star?
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Johnny Depp always seemed to be a down-to-earth guy who's almost embarrassed by his stardom. But now he's gone from humble to downright offensive. Talking to Vanity Fair about his hatred of photo shoots, he says: "Well, you just feel like you're being raped somehow. Raped ... It feels like a kind of weird -- just weird, man."
Depp is OK with posting with fans, "But whenever you have a photo shoot or something like that, it's like -- you just feel dumb. It's just so stupid." He's also a bit dismissive of the "stupid" $100 million he made last year.

Do you know what I mean? At this point, it's for my kids. It's ridiculous, yeah, yeah. But ultimately is it for me? No. No. It's for the kids."
But Depp has already learned the foot-in-mouth lesson the hard way. He was forced to apologize on Tuesday when a spokeswoman for Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN), the nation’s largest anti-sexual violence organization, took him to task for his comments.
"While photos may feel at times intrusive, being photographed in no way compares to rape -- a violent crime which affects another American every two minutes," Katherine Hull told FOX411 Tuesday.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Depp apologized to the organization later that day. "I am truly sorry for offending anyone in any way. I never meant to. It was a poor choice of words on my part in an effort to explain a feeling," he said in a statement. “I understand there is no comparison and I am very regretful. In an effort to correct my lack of judgment, please accept my heartfelt apology."
