Johnny Depp dresses as Scrooge at San Diego Comic-Con, engages Edward Scissorhands cosplayer

Johnny Depp attended the San Diego Comic‑Con in full prosthetic makeup to portray Ebenezer Scrooge while promoting Ti West’s upcoming film “Ebenezer.” The actor’s transformation included an aged Victorian look, a receding hairline and period costume. During the event he struck up a humorous conversation with an attendee dressed as Edward Scissorhands, asking the cosplayer about the use of a “WC” or “toilet.” The interaction, captured on video, highlighted Depp’s willingness to stay in character for fans.

Depp’s appearance added to a series of recent public stunts in which he has embodied past roles, such as Jack Sparrow at Disneyland and the Mad Hatter in promotional videos, further cementing his presence in pop‑culture conventions.
