Johnny Depp surprised the audience at San Diego Comic-Con by appearing dressed as Ebenezer Scrooge, the character from his upcoming film, and making a joke involving President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
The unexpected appearance took place during a promotional event for Ebenezer, a new adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol.
Wearing the character’s full costume, including a top hat, cane and makeup to portray the story’s elderly miser, Depp appeared without warning and interacted with fans and attendees at the event.
During the presentation, the actor remained in character as Scrooge and included a humorous reference to Trump’s trade policies, drawing laughter from the audience.
“This is on my property, which means I own it. And you’re paying tax for being there. Because everyone has to pay for all these things. Putting tariffs on the gate.”
The film Ebenezer is directed by Ti West and marks Depp’s return to a major Hollywood production. The project presents a darker version of Charles Dickens’ story and is scheduled to premiere in November, with a cast that includes names such as Ian McKellen, Rupert Grint, Daisy Ridley and Sam Claflin.
