Johnny Depp insists his use of a sound engineer and earpiece helped bring a "truth" to his acting.



The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' actor's former management company, The Management Group (TMG), accused the star of never learning his scripts, and alleged he has spent "years" paying sound engineers to feed him his dialogue on set instead in court documents filed last year, and now Johnny has responded to the claims.



Though he didn't confirm if his lines were fed to him by the staff member, he admitted to having the earpiece, through which various sounds were played to help him act with just his eyes.



He explained: "I've got bagpipes, a baby crying and bombs going off. It creates a truth. Some of my biggest heroes were in silent film.”
