'It's a pity that people jumped the gun and made these objections.'
A couple of weeks after the Internet collectively gasped at the latest Sauvage campaign teaser ad, considered by many to be offensive to Native Americans, Johnny Depp is speaking out to defend the project.
"A teaser obviously is a very concentrated version of images and there were objections to the teaser of the small film," he told The Hollywood Reporter. He added:"There was never ... any dishonorable [intent]. The film was made with a great respect for the indigenous people not just of North America but all over the world."The teaser clip Depp was referring to was released in late August and featured Native American extras performing a ceremonial dance and wearing formal cultural attire, while Depp promotes the cologne and the brand.
