The Goonies star has alleged that he was cast as Gilbert Grape's disabled younger brother, but was dropped from the part after Depp signed up to play the titular role. He shared on The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan podcast, ”I never saw the film because I'm still bitter. Bitter leaf in that one. But yes, I was originally cast for that role.” The Smashing Pumpkins star then asked the former child actor if "they" pushed him out. ”Johnny Depp. He was cast after I was, and apparently whispered into the producers' ear that he wasn't fond of me, and thought - he said that I was a junkie and that he didn't work with junkies.”
