He's made a career out of playing the strange, the unusual and the downright bizarre.

Now world-renown actor Johnny Depp could be stepping into the shoes of late cryptocurrency billionaire Matthew Mellon in a potential biopic.

According to Page Six, the Pirates of the Caribbean star is said to be interested in playing the role, although Depp's camp has not confirmed the report.

'There is a screenplay being shopped,' sources exclusively told Page Six.

'This may be fulfilling a dream of Matthew’s. He would have loved this idea . . . He used to say, how cool would it be to have a movie about my crazy life?’

But there could be a hitch. The family of the late banking heir are reportedly divided over whether to move forward on the proposed movie.

Another source said some 'are horrified by the idea . . . The last thing they want is the Mellon legacy portrayed on-screen.'

Mellon died in April of 2018 at the age of 54 after battling addiction for most of his adult life.

At the age of 21, Mellon inherited trusts worth $25 million from his Mellon and Drexel families. He would eventually invest $2 million of it in the cryptocurrency XRP, known widely as Ripple, and turned it into a $1 billion fortune.

XRP is a decentralized digital asset and settles payments in 3 to 4 seconds which is considerably faster than Bitcoin.

Mellon married Jimmy Choo shoe mogul Tamara Mellon in 2000 after meeting her at a Narcotics Anonymous meeting. That relationship ended in divorce as did his second marriage to Nicole Hanley Mellon.

By 2016, Mellon admitted that he had a $100,000-a-month OxyContin habit.

He would go on to date Kick Kennedy, the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy Jr, after moving to Los Angeles the following year.

The two were reportedly still dating when the father-of-three went to Mexico to check into a rehabilitation clinic on April 16. He was found dead in a hotel room just hours before he was scheduled to check in.

Mellon suffered a heart attack after taking the hallucinogenic drink ayahuasca. The entheogenic brew is made out of vine and roots and is used as a traditional spiritual medicine in ceremonies among indigenous peoples in the Amazon basin region.
