Johnny Depp apparently missed a conference because he was fighting a chupacabra

Johnny Depp says he battled a mythical creature this week and that’s why he couldn’t talk to the press.

According to AP, Depp apologized to journalists in Tokyo on Wednesday because he missed a press conference the day before. He said that he became sick but jokingly told the press that the real reason he missed the question panel was because he was attacked by a chupacabra.

“I was attacked yesterday morning by a very rarely seen or experienced animal called ‘chupacabra,’” he said. “I fought with it for hours. They’re very persistent, very mean. And I’m pretty sure it came into my suitcase. I threw him off the 23rd floor. So we’ll never see him again. Thank you for understanding.”

Recently, the actor has faced criticism for his latest performance in the comedy Mortdecai and the Great Chupacabra when it flopped at box office last week.

Despite the bad reviews, Depp’s answer to the press showed his funny side and how he can still remain lighthearted even in troubling times.
