Michael Madsen's final interview saw Reservoir Dogs star slam 'overrated' co-star Johnny Depp

Michael Madsen slammed fellow actor Johnny Depp in his last interview before his death. The Reservoir Dogs star died on Thursday at the age of 67.

Michael had been found unresponsive at his Malibu home. He was best known for his roles in the Quentin Tarantino movie, as well as his part in Kill Bill.

In what is thought to have been his final interview prior to his death, the Hollywood actor sat alongside Stephen Baldwin on his One Big Movie podcast. In the chat, Michael praised Stephen's brother, Alec Baldwin, but wasn't as kind when it came to Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny.

His words came after he told the host he used to have a large collection of posters, similar to the ones behind Stephen in the interview. However, Michael told how his home was destroyed after his home burned down in 2018 following the Woolsey Fire in Malibu.

As the pair's chat continued, Stephen took to the phone to call his brother, Alec. Michael starred in 1994 release The Getaway alongside Alec's ex-wife Kim Basinger. Sharing a funny story from the time, Alec said the duo were keen to ditch filming fora day.

He claimed that when Michael's phone in his hotel room rang, he answered it. He said he put on a hilarious mix of a Latino and Chicago accent as he did so before hanging up on the caller.

Michael obviously remembered the moment well and laughed: "'Goddamnit, Alec, you're the funniest mother f***er."

But he confessed to thinking Johnny's performance in Donnie Brasco was overrated. Johnny starred opposite Al Pacino in the Mafia movie, playing an FBI agent who goes undercover to infiltrate the family of one of the mob’s most prominent members. He then finds himself getting caught up in their world and grows further apart from his own.

And Michael, who starred as Sonny Black in the production, admitted he was underwhelmed by Johnny's performance. He said: "I don’t get it," when Johnny's name was mentioned in the chat.

"It just didn’t work for me,” he said of his work. “There’s no way that guy would’ve been let into the family."

Sharing his thoughts on Johnny's ability in the movie, he added: "Yeah. It wasn’t terrible, it was just boring. It was lifeless. There was a lifelessness to it that I couldn’t comprehend. It made no sense to me.”

Michael died on Thursday after a suspected cardiac arrest. According to the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department, no foul play is suspected.

A statement released by managers Susan Ferris and Ron Smith, and publicist Liz Rodriguez read: ""In the last two years Michael Madsen has been doing some incredible work with independent film including upcoming feature films Resurrection Road, Concessions, and Cookbook for Southern Housewives, and was really looking forward to this next chapter in his life.

"Michael Madsen was one of Hollywood's most iconic actors, who will be missed by many."
