Actor Johnny Depp's awkward slurring speech at Hollywood Film Awards (HFA) has created a buzz on the social media.

The 51-year-old, who took the stage to present a documentary award at the event Friday, got accused for his slurring speech over social media just after the event.

"Johnny depp drunk at the Hollywood film awards that was the funniest thing I have ever saw, he was like captain jack sparrow," one of the users posted, reports mirror.co.uk.

Another added: "The price of watching a self indulgent Hollywood awards show: Johnny Depp blonde(ish) and drunk. And yet... still hot".

Depp first raised suspicion that something wasn't right with him when he said `That's the weirdest microphone I've ever seen in my life` before looking at the audience and asking "Right?".
