Washington, Jan 15 : American movie hunk Johnny Depp dmitted to having been a terrible telesales person, because he ould always try to dissuade people from buying the products he as selling.
Depp had taken a job selling pens over the phone when he first rrived in Los Angeles with his band 'The Kids'.
The job helped him to stay off the streets, but he was not omfortable with it, as he had to con people into buying his pens ith the promise of giving them treats.
"You'd guarantee them a grandfather clock or a trip to Greece. he couple of times that I actually got people to buy the pens, hey only agreed because they wanted the grandfather clock," ontactmusic quoted him as saying.
"When the supervisor wandered off, I would say, 'Listen, don't uy these pens. The clock is made of corkboard. I'm a thief; e're ripping you off,'" he said.
However he insisted that the job was his first acting role, even o the extent of giving him a stage name.
"You're reading a whole spiel. There was a character on the soap pera General Hospital - the name stuck in my head - so I would all people up and say, `How do you do, this is Edward uartermaine,'" he concluded.
