The truth about Johnny Depp’s cameo in The Walking Dead – Looper

Chatting with the outlet, Nicotero finally confirmed that the severed head's likeness to Depp wasn't merely a coincidence: "One of the other heads, I don't know if I'm going to get in trouble if I say this, was Johnny Depp."

He then explained what went into the production of the prop, saying, "I think we had sculpted an emaciated version of a dummy head for something, and we used Johnny Depp's head as a basis just for a clay sculpt." Given one of the other craniums used his own likeness, Nicotero jokingly added that "he" was in "good company" alongside the big-screen legend.

Nicotero also mentioned that the actor behind Daryl Dixon, Norman Reedus a man known for his extensive collection of Walking Dead props quickly vocalized his desire to snag some new additions to his ever-growing archive. "Norman kept saying he wanted the heads when we were done shooting. I said we've got to wait until the picture is logged," Nicotero said. As fate would have it, the Boondock Saints star eventually got his hands on the disembodied domes forever immortalizing Johnny Depp's bizarre Walking Dead cameo in his own personal museum.
