Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp and Jerry Bruckheimer are on the set of The Lone Ranger in New Mexico. Depp is once again seen in costume for his character in the film, Tonto. He has taken heat lately for his choice of costume design as well as for being cast in the role, from Screenrant.com:

"One of the sources for the controversy surrounding Disney’s Lone Ranger reboot has been the decision to feature Johnny Depp as the titular hero’s American Indian sidekick, Tonto. Reactions have ranged from supportive – including leaders of the Navajo Nation – to skepticism about Depp’s asserted Cherokee/Creek heritage – and even outcries that Depp playing Tonto is tantamount to the actor going “Redface.”
