Don Johnson claimed that a young Johnny Depp shot his assistant with blank cartridges during a prank.

Speaking to Jimmy Kimmel during Thursday’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” the “Doctor Odyssey” star recalled being Hunter S. Thompson’s neighbor in Woody Creek, Colorado, and the countless pranks he had with the actor lashed out.

“I called Hunter’s to see if he had any weed, and of course he did. Like a ton back there,” the 74-year-old told Kimmel.

“So I said, ‘Listen, I’m going to come get some weed because I have a little group of people here.'”

After Thompson told him to come over, Johnson sent his assistant to pick it up.

“(He) pulls into Hunter’s driveway and Johnny Depp and Hunter were hiding behind Hunter’s car with shotguns loaded with blanks and my assistant got out of the car and they both jumped out and said, ‘Die, mother!’ he remembered before they started shooting him with the blanks.

Johnson then revealed that his assistant – “God bless him” – peed his pants from the shock.

Johnson and the gonzo journalist were actually best friends before the latter died by suicide in 2005.

The two first met in the ’80s during ‘the Andy Warhol days’.

“I was shooting my first movie in New York. We met because he was the crazy MF guy who came in with a bag full of drugs, and our movie was about drugs. So I got to know him pretty well,” Johnson told People last month.

The two subsequently became neighbors in Colorado before Thompson, who died at 67, became an uncle figure to Johnson’s children, including actress Dakota Johnson.

As for Depp, he and Thompson were also very good friends over the years.

During his interview with Kimmel, Don also opened up about what it was like raising Dakota, who he described as an “eventful child.”

“If I left my phone lying around unattended, she would come on the phone and somehow get into my contacts and send obscene messages to random people,” he recalled as the audience laughed.

“And you also have to be careful not to leave blank sheets of paper on your desk because she would immediately draw a big penis on them,” he explained.

Don shares Dakota, 35, with ex Melanie Griffith. The “Miami Vice” actor also shares son Jesse, 41, with ex Patti D’Arbanville and daughter Atherton, 24, and Jasper, 22, with wife Kelley Phleger.
