About Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp is one of my all time favourite actors, which is why I am
looking forward to the upcoming release of Pirates of the Caribbean:
Dead Man's Chest.
In a rare clean-cut appearance as J.M. Barrie in Finding Neverland
(2004)
As the wacky Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: The
Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
I enjoyed so many of his movies, and the one I liked the most is his
role in the 1993 beautiful drama, What's Eating Gilbert Grape. He made
a great impression on me, not least because he looked so young and
handsome in it. That movie also introduced me to Leonardo diCaprio as
an unknown teenager but even back then, Leo proved himself to be a
darn good actor.
When Chocolat came out in 2000, he played the part of a gypsy named
Roux opposite Juliette Binoche. That movie was also a favourite and in
some way, it's like a first (understated) glimpse of what we were to
see of Depp as a crazy pirate in the 2003 blockbuster.
His personal life could be the subject of a movie itself but I guess
it is a testimony of his strength of character that he had managed to
lived through those troubling years and establish himself as a
credible and respected actor along with settling down to a
domesticated life with partner Vanessa Paradis and daughter Lily-Rose
(7) and son John Christopher (4).
It is amazing how a wild boy like Depp could turn out so well in the
end. I hope to see more of his films in the years to come. And
hopefully too, he will continue to enjoy much success in both his
personal and professional life.
If he's a fruit, I'd say he is LUSCIOUS ...
