Glaudini recalled an incident during the first few days of filming in which she struggled to laugh on cue. Depp monologue. According to Deadline, the actress said: “I hear the signal, and I go haha, I laugh a lot or whatever,” Glaudini said. “Johnny Depp, when they say cut, walks up to me, walks up to me, puts his finger in my face and he says, ‘Who do you think you are?’ Who do you think you are? Shut your mouth. I’m here, and I’m trying to say my lines and you’re concentrating. You idiot. Oh, now, oh now, isn’t that funny? Now can you shut up? Now can you fucking shut the fuck up? The calm you’re in right now is how you stay.
After several takes, she found herself laughing more from stress than anything else. She said: “It was my first studio film, up until that point I had only done independent films. And I have the star that I idolized, that I’m so excited to work with, that m ‘hit me in the face. The only thing that crossed my face. My head was, ‘Don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry.'”
Depp later apologized, but Glaudini, feeling embarrassed and under pressure, tried to deal with the incident in a professional manner. According to the account, “He said, ‘You know, so earlier I was really in my head and staying in character, doing this Boston accent, and it’s really messing with my head.’ So I’m a little tense and all that. So I just wanted to make sure we were cool and stuff?’
