Hollywood superstar Johnny Depp recently visited Japan and kept journalists waiting for a staggering 77 minutes at a press conference. Despite the delay, Depp interacted affably with the press upon his arrival, apologizing for his tardiness. The specific details remain under wraps.

In Japan, punctuality is cherished as a sacred social value, and being late is largely frowned upon. This incident has stirred up conversations about celebrities and their responsibilities, considering their influence and the professional work culture in Japan.

While instances of high-profile individuals being tardy are not unheard of in the US or EU, the reaction tends to be less severe, as the attachment to punctuality is less stringent. However, habitual offender celebrities often face criticism from the media and fans alike, similar to what is happening in Japan now.
