Johnny Depp's Makeup...


So tell me, for a movie with a budget of $150,000,000, they couldn't afford better makeup than what a 10-year-old boy would get painted on his face for Halloween?

I doubt their make up budged was that high.
Plus in the original show there was times Frid looked like that.

There was nothing wrong with his makeup.

Yeah, it looked OK to me. It's not as if there's a set look for mythical creatures.🐭

I didn't have too much of a problem with it other than the long claws. I could've done without that; that was the only thing that was overkill. Considering this is Tim Burton we're talking about, the deathly-pale skin and dark rings around the eyes come with the territory.


Logan, buddy. It's me, Deadpool! I shot youuuuuu....

People just kind of assume that hes a weirdo when they see him. The fact that he looks like a kid with cheesy makeup makes it more realistic that people would see him as that and not question it much, rather than freak out about him being a supernatural monster.

But from what I've heard, the show was fairly campy and cheesy. Having a gritty intense monster wouldnt really fit that theme.
