Johnny Depp Standing Behind Drug-Addled Pal Charlie Sheen

Charlie Sheen has a showbiz ally in the form of old pal Johnny Depp. Disney’s Captain Jack Sparrow has publicly come out in support of his friend as Sheen lacklusterly battles addiction and series of sex and drug-fueld scandals that seem to be doing little to impact the immense popularity of his CBS sitcom, Two and a Half Men.

“Johnny thinks it’s unfair that Charlie gets so much criticism,” an insider tells Britain’s Daily Mirror. “As long as he’s working through his issues and he is in communication with his ex-wives about what he’s doing, it’s not anyone else’s business to get involved. Johnny thinks the whole rehab culture of Hollywood is out of control. He’s been a friend of Charlie’s for over 25 years, and he told him that he’ll always support his choices.”
