Depp's "Blow" Inspiration George Jung Released From Prison
George Jung
-- the prolific cocaine smuggler portrayed by Johnny Depp
in the movie “Blow”
-- has been released from prison after serving almost 20 years behind bars -- and TMZ has a pic of his first moments of freedom.
Jung (now 71-years-old) was doing time at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey and was supposed to be released in November ... but for some reason the ex-drug smuggler got out early.
For those of you who haven't seen the movie ... Jung was one of the biggest coke dealers of the '70s and '80s -- and was said to be responsible for roughly 89% of cocaine smuggled into the country at the time.
Sources tell us Jung is being released to a half-way house on the West Coast ... where he'll receive help transitioning back into society.
