First Official Look at Johnny Depp in 'Black Mass'
Movie

The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' actor transforms into a ruthless crime boss Whitey Bulger in the true-story movie directed by Scott Cooper.

AceShowbiz - The first official still for true-story gangster movie "Black Mass" arrives online. It shows Johnny Depp almost unrecognizable with thinning hair as Boston's notorious crime boss Whitey Bulger. He is seen walking away from a body while carrying a gun in one of his hands.

"He murdered him in front of numerous witnesses in broad daylight," director Scott Cooper told Entertainment Weekly. "In a word, Whitey was brazen." He also said of the criminal, "He could be charming. He could be ruthless. He was like a cobra - you never knew where he could strike."

Bulger was an FBI informant in taking down a Mafia family who invaded his turf. However, he was later outed as a criminal himself and went into hiding when the Feds closed in on their targets. He became a fugitive for years before being arrested in 2011.
