Johnny Depp feels it is a drag to watch his own films.

The actor, who played Tonto in Disney's "The Lone Ranger", said he decided long ago that he was better off not watching his performances.

"I made a choice a long time ago, that I was better off not watching my films, which is a drag because you miss out on a lot of your friends' incredible work. But I feel like it would just harm me.

"I would rather stay as ignorant as possible about the result of anything because once you're done playing that character, it's really not your business anymore," Depp told The Independent in an interview.
 

"Actually, somebody once put together a reel containing bits of different films I had done, and when I saw the characters line up in a row like that, I thought it was amazing that I was able to get away with it.

"Truly. I am just amazed that I still get jobs. I am shocked," the 50-year-old actor said.
