Johnny Depp Talks to David Letterman About Being Mangled by a Horse (Video)

Johnny Depp appeared on The Late Show With David Letterman where he talked about nearly being mangled by a horse while filming the movie The Lone Ranger.

The 49-year-old actor, who plays Tonto in the new film, admits he had an unpleasant moment when he fell off his horse and was nearly crushed by the death machine.

Depp told Letterman, There was one moment in particular where it got unpleasant. Wed been running [the horses] all day and they werent really interested in slowing down, at all. My horse that I was on decided to jump a couple of these little obstacles.

The horse was unaware that the saddle I was wearing to sit on top of it was sort of jerry-rigged, kind of faked. When we came down, the saddle slipped and I went to the left and (lost) the reins, somehow I had the wherewithal to grab his mane all very calm for some reason, I figured fear would kick in, but it didnt.

I saw in front of my eyes these very muscular horse legs and the striations of muscles moving, this kind of death machine. One word popped into my head hooves! You know? Hooves. In any case, mind the hooves.

Johnny Depp later performed with Bill Carter for the song Anything Made of Paper as he rocked out on the guitar.
