Agreed.

Me too!

So...My daughter and I walk into our local sub shop to get, what else, subs and as we walk up to the counter this guy looks up and my heart stopped beating! The guy looked exactly like Johnny Depp! (even the hair, it was pulled back and had the piece of hair hanging in his face.) I managed to order my sandwich, get my toppings and pay for it all. While we were eating I kept looking back at the guy thinking "Damn, he could do Johnny impersonations.". I didn't say a word to my daughter because she's 12 and already thinks I'm nuts, and I really didn't want to hear her say "Gawd Mom, he DOES NOT look like Johnny Depp!". But I finally broke down and told her and she said "I thought the same thing!" LOL! I so wanted to tell the guy he's in the wrong line of work. I guess everyone really does have a twin. Think I'll be going back for subs often.

Johnny Depp

A few friends and I were walking through a small town in France and we saw Johnny in a cafe. We got his autograph and he gave me a kiss on the cheek.

HERE'S JOHNNY! Already set to play Willy Wonka in helmer Tim Burton's update of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Johnny Depp pulling double duty and signing on to provide the lead voice in The Corpse Bride, the new stop-motion animated flick the filmmaker's co-directing with Tim Johnson.

Johnny Depp is signing all the paperwork for the ISLAND he just bought. Yes, Depp bought a mile long island in the Bahamas for close to $3.5 million. The island is about 60 miles south of Nassau. There are only 6 sandy white beaches and a central lagoon surrounded by palm trees, so don't feel bad.

Depp's Movie Tent
imdb.com

Hollywood star Johnny Depp has turned his movie trailer on the set of new movie Charlie And The Chocolate Factory into a $450,000 "Bedouin tent". The actor, who is currently filming the Tim Burton -directed remake on location in Hertfordshire, England, was reportedly unhappy with the monster trailer - his home for the duration of the shoot. So he asked for all the fixtures and fittings to be removed and replaced with silk and satin drapes, huge cushions, animal hide rugs and incense burners, reports British newspaper The Sun - and set designers at Pinewood Studios have been called in to carry out a complete makeover. A set insider tells The Sun, "Johnny already has the biggest trailer on set but wasn't happy with it. He's a real hippy at heart and he wanted his trailer to look like a Bedouin tent."

JOHNNY DEPP: NEW LORD OF THE MANOR!
July 15, 2004 Provided by: [Star Online]

We already knew Johnny Depp was a Francophile, and now it's safe to call him an Anglophile too. Depp, 41, fell for a $4.7 million Georgian estate in picturesque Rye, East Sussex, during a trip to the U.K. in May, says a source. Depp famously ditched Hollywood a few years ago for a quieter life in France with his French actress girlfriend Vanessa Paradis, 31, and their two children, Lily Rose, 5, and Jack, 2. Now it is believed Depp will buy the three-story, seven-bedroom English mansion, complete with a pool on 45 acres of land. "Rye would be wellsuited for Mr. Depp," says a source. "I understand he has a fondness for traditional England, and it is almost as though Rye is stuck in time."

There's plenty that Depp likes about the U.K. -- he dated British supermodel Kate Moss, and based his character in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl on Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones. So maybe it's high time for Depp to call jolly ol' England home.

Depp Crashes Sports Car Into Gate
imdb.com

Johnny Depp is facing a $18,000 bill after wrecking his brand-new Mercedes by reversing into the gates of his French villa. The Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl actor, 41, sped the $28,000 sporty motor up to the electric gates outside his home in Plan De La Tour on the Cote D'Azur - before smashing into them as he reversed. A source says, "We saw Johnny pull up outside his house going at quite a speed. He put the car in reverse but can't have paying attention because he drove straight into the side of the gate. He knocked the gates' electric motor straight off the wall and left an almighty dent in the back of the car. Judging by the look on his face he got quite a fright. Once he got out of the Mercedes he started cursing himself for being so stupid."

No idea how old this one is:

"THERE was a woman in a restaurant who asked what her parents did. Lily Rose [his 5-year-old daughter] said, 'My mommy's a singer. My daddy's a pirate.' "

Awwweee!!

DEPP'S WINE ANONYMITY
sfgate.com

Movie actor Johnny Depp tasted anonymity for a moment recently -- when he went unrecognized at an exclusive wine connoisseurs' dinner.

The star was invited to the private meal after making a purchase at wine merchants Berry Brothers & Rudd, who also count British monarch Queen Elizabeth II as one of their clients.

A company spokesperson says, "He dropped in one day and spent 45 minutes here discussing wines with one of our salesmen.

"Then he made his purchases. I can't disclose details of what he bought, but he was invited back later to a private dinner."

And a number of fellow diners at the plush meal failed to recognize the superstar's identity.

An insider says, "It was hilarious. He spent half the evening telling men who didn't recognize him that his name was Johnny, and that he was an actor."

Depp Hands Over Viper Room to Missing Partner's Daughter
imdb.com

Johnny Depp reportedly gave up his co-ownership of trendy Los Angeles nightclub The Viper Room following the controversy of his missing ex-partner. Depp has been caught up in the scandal surrounding the disappearance of businessman Anthony Fox , who went missing two years ago, and hasn't been heard of since. Now, as part of a legal settlement, Depp has quietly handed over his ownership of the trendy club to Fox's daughter, who plans to sell the Sunset Strip club. Sources close to Depp claim the movie star lost interest in the club in recent years after his friend River Phoenix died outside The Viper Room in 1993.


Wow. Wonder what will happen to the Viper Room now.

Depp Defends Iraq Comments
imdb.com

Hollywood heart-throb Johnny Depp insists he never called America "dumb" for starting the war in Iraq. The Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl star caused a furor in his native America last year when German magazine Stern reported he said the country was "a dumb puppy that has big teeth". In the latest edition of Vanity Fair magazine, Depp explains, "I would never insult the American people. I used the metaphor of a puppy dog, but I never said ignorant puppy dog. I said it's a very young country compared to old Europe, or Asia." Depp admits he received a barrage of hate mail from "right wing military types". He says, "If I want to say that I don't agree with the president's choices or words or intentions, so what? Even if I had said what they printed - which I didn't - what's the big deal?"

Has anyone heard anything about his girlfriend Vanessa being pregnant again? I saw this picture today, and it looks kind of obvious...
Depp

I hadn't heard that, but you're right! Unless she's been eating too much french food!

Good catch RedandBlue. Hope it's true

Anyone else see the Vanity Fair cover? It just looks weird..he has some kind of half smirk that is just not working. Everything else looks fine..just the facial expression is not flattering.

I didn't recognize him! He must be going through a new phase. Artists! LOL.

Oooh, not a good pic of him





JOHNNY BE GOOD

Remeber Johnny is on Oprah today!!!

I caught him today He looked nice.

It is kind of painful to watch Oprah interviews...the incessant fawning..the audience oohing ,awwing, and aplauding after every word that comes of the man's mouth. Nervewracking..jmo. Then when you have a celebrity like Depp who seemed embarrassed by it all. He did seem to like Oprah's choice of red wine

What a Gentleman
people.com

A little insight into Johnny Depp: Miramax head Harvey Weinstein says the Finding Neverland star is "charming, and he is an old-world gentleman when it comes to women. With (costars) Kate Winslet, Julie Christie ? he was always concerned about people getting home. 'Are they okay?' He is just a Southern gentleman."

I just love this man!!!

Pictures of a fan's encounter with Mr. Depp

Just some nice random pics for you to drool over.

He is the hottest man ever ugh .."drool"

i hope my future hubby is just as hot like that at 40

No kidding Jerrica

Those candid fan pics are great

I especially love his eyes.

He is definitely hot. I think he has a shot at winning the Academy Award this year and I haven't even seen the movie! A real talent.

Depp Refuses To Extinguish Cigarette
imdb.com

Hollywood superstar Johnny Depp shocked an American woman in a London restaurant recently, when he refused to put out his cigarette. The Pirates Of The Caribbean actor was dining at Scalini's in the British capital when the unidentified lady took offence to his smoking and asked him to extinguish the offending item, even though he was sitting in a smoking area. Depp bluntly told her, "I'm sorry, but we're not in LA anymore."

Looking oh-so-French, Johnny Depp points the way Thursday outside a Paris hotel, where the Best Actor Oscar nominee was promoting his film Finding Neverland.

Love the pics of Johnny and his little girl. She looks a lot like him. Cute.

The french affectation seems rather pretentious somehow.

As for telling the lady she was not in LA anymore: Good for him.

Johnny Depp: From bad boy to suburban dad


NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) - Once known as a Hollywood bad boy, Johnny Depp has
grown into more of a suburban dad.


These days, Depp can be found at his home in the south of France with
singer-actress Vanessa Paradis and their two children, 6-year-old Lily Rose
and 3-year-old Jack. So it seems fitting that the latest of Depp's long line
of offbeat characters is Willy Wonka in the film version of Roald Dahl's
novel Charlie and Chocolate Factory.


Why play Willy, a role immortalized by Gene Wilder in the 1971 classic?
Besides wanting to make his children happy, Depp was eager to collaborate
for a fifth time with director Tim Burton, who gave him his breakout movie
role in 1990's Edward Scissorhands.


During an interview at a resort near filming of two Pirates of the Caribbean
sequels, the 42-year-old Depp was in full Captain Jack Sparrow regalia -
bandanna, gold teeth, unkempt dreadlocks - as he sat down with The
Associated Press to talk about movies, fame and family.


You've said every movie you've done has been for your children, even before
they were born. What do you mean by that?


In the late '80s when I was on that TV show 21 Jump Street. On the one hand
it was a great thing. It was an incredible learning experience. It did a lot
for me. I was making money for the first time in my life. That was not bad.
There were a lot of very positive aspects to that situation. There were also
negative aspects. At that time as a television actor, it was very, very
difficult to break into films. ...


I was released (from Jump Street ) while I was doing Edward Scissorhands,
and I swore to myself that I would only work on these films or these
projects that I would at least someday be able to say to my kids, 'That was
all me. That's pure me. I didn't sell out because I don't want you to be
mortified or embarrassed.' So that was what was in my head at the time, just
thinking if I am going to this, I am going to do it on my terms. If I am
going to fail, I am going to fail on my own terms.


Why do you and Tim Burton work so well together?


It all stems from Tim's bravery. Early on for Edward Scissorhands we had
this great meeting and somehow connected. I never expected that he would
cast me in that role. I never expected that he would take the risk on me
which was a really big risk at that time. He just did and somehow there is
this kind of mutual understanding of things, and a mutual fascination with
people, human beings, weirdness, character flaws, human tics and all of that
stuff.


Did you watch the original Willy Wonka ? Did it inspire how you portrayed
your character?


I watched the original when I was a kid. I ended up watching it with my
kids, up until it was time for me to play the role of Willy Wonka. (Then),
when my kids would put the DVD in, I would run to the next room because I
didn't want to be influenced at all. I was really conscious about making
sure I went to a different area than Gene Wilder. I loved his character. I
loved Willy Wonka as a kid. He was the best thing in it for sure.


Gene Wilder has said Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was only remade to
make money and that Hollywood has no business messing with a classic film.
What's your take on this?


Somebody sent me an article where Gene Wilder said, "Why would they remake
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory?" We didn't remake Willy Wonka and the
Chocolate Factory, we remade (the book) Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
It's based on the same book they based theirs on. Making a statement that
they only made this film because of the money is a really odd statement to
make from a guy who has been in the business as long as he has ... all
movies were made because somebody somewhere wanted a return on their dollar
that they spent. Ultimately it's a business. If you can dance around in
there and avoid the sharp edges, and understand the game, but not play the
game, then you're OK. Of course it is a dirty business, but that doesn't
mean that it's all about money for me. My intentions are as pure as they can
be.


It seems you haven't done a straight-up Hollywood film. Would you ever?


There were a few things that came around the bend, that they tried to get me
involved in. I couldn't bring myself to do it. The seed for me was tainted.
There was no redemption in there. It was kind of a sellout for a (lot) of
money. You would go in and do the work and take the money, but it wasn't
anything that you would be particularly proud of. That, I couldn't do. I've
attempted things in the past where people thought I tried to sell out. For
example I did this film Nick of Time with (director) John Badham. I don't
know if the film was particularly good. I did that film not for money, or
not to sell out. I didn't think it was going to be successful at all. I
didn't care. I did it because I wanted to work with Christopher Walken and I
wanted to work with John Badham. The script was very much like an old school
Hitchcock film. All of those elements were intriguing to me so I took it.


If you hadn't left Hollywood for France, do you think you would have a
different perspective about fame?


No, I don't think so because I come from where I come from. I come from
Kentucky. My relatives, and my mom and dad, my sisters and my brother, our
life in Kentucky is something that is very strong in my being. In south
Florida, we were nomads for years and years, working various jobs for great
lengths of time. Dropping out of high school, doing construction, printing
T-shirts. Where I come from is what has made me me.


What's this about you buying a cannon to shoot Hunter Thompson's ashes out
of?


Hunter meant a lot to me. He was another hero and someone that I got to know
very well because I played him in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. We got
very, very close. He was a great pal, one of my best friends. We had talked
a couple of times about his last wishes to be shot out of a cannon of his
own design. ... All I'm doing is trying to make sure his last wish comes
true. I just want to send my pal out the way he wants to go out.


You've been in a relationship for many years now, so what's the secret?


Trust, have fun, respect for one and other. Respect for one another's
privacy. Respect for what the other person does in their chosen profession.
Obviously a whole lot of love. Vanessa was like a bolt of lighting.


So she knocked you out?


Well yeah, because there were no pretensions. She has her success on her own
terms and when we met it wasn't like she was anything other than this sweet,
cool, funny girl. I'd never experienced anything like that before. She gave
me these two beautiful kids.


Is marriage an option? What does it mean to you?


Marriage can be whatever you define it as. For example, I don't feel like I
need a piece of paper that says I own her and she owns me. I think signing a
piece of paper doesn't mean anything in the eyes of God or in the eyes of
people. The thing is, if you are together and you love each other and are
good to each other, make babies and all that, for all intents and purposes
you are married.

love him.

Depp Blames Fame for His Alcoholism


Movie hunk Johnny Depp blames his speedy rise to fame for causing his
debilitating alcohol addiction. The Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas star was
so intimidated by his celebrity status during his early movie career, he
turned to drink to block out his unhappiness. He explains, "I'd go to
functions and back in those days I literally had to be drunk to be able to
speak and get through it. I guess I was trying not to feel anything. My drug
of choice back then was alcohol more than anything. Hard liquor, spirits.
And yeah, I had a keen idea that it was not good. But you get liquored up
and once you are in that spiral, you don't even get hangovers anymore. You
wake up and have a drink again."
