Johnny Depp's wife Amber Heard is facing a possible 10-year prison sentence and a hefty fine for illegally smuggling their two dogs into Australia during filming of the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie in May
Depp joked about the international scandal, and Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce's threats to have the dogs put down, recently at the Venice Film Festival.
'I killed my dogs and ate them under direct orders from some kinda, I dunno, sweaty, big-gutted man from Australia,' he said on Friday in an apparent reference to Mr Joyce.
He made the dark joke about his pets at a press conference for his new film Black Mass after being asked whether he planned on taking his dogs on a 'gondola ride' while in Venice.

His dogs, Boo and Pistol, became embroiled in a media storm in May when they were discovered in Queensland after seemingly having bypassed the usual conditions for animals brought into Australia.
The dogs' presence in Australia only came to light when they were photographed at a grooming salon.
The couple, who were staying at a rented home in the Gold Coast, were issued a strict warning demanding they remove their terriers from the country within 50 hours or risk having them put down.
Pistol and Boo returned to the United States days after their discovery in late May, with Amber later indicating an unwillingness to return to the country.
The actor sparked an international incident when it emerged that his beloved dogs Boo and Pistol had been illegally smuggled into Australia on his private jet

Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce defended the government's strong stance against Depp's dogs, saying: 'We bent over backwards to get their monkeys in... so they know what the deal is'
Mr Joyce indicated that Depp had intentionally ignored Australian laws, which require animals being brought into the country to be declared.
The two became the subject of numerous internet memes, sparked the cheeky Twitter hashtag #warronterrier and even caused an angry argument that resulted in radio shock jock Kyle Sandilands calling Mr Joyce a 'wanker' live on-air.
The hearing was rescheduled for November 2.
