In the midst of rumours that Johnny Depp has a secret role in an upcoming high-profile Netflix series, that apparently isn’t the only surprise he has in store.

According to the outlet, the plan is for Depp — who’s won five Video Music Awards over the years, including the Generation Award in 2012 — to appear onstage costumed as MTV’s iconic Moonperson before revealing his true identity.
