Me 'n Johnny Depp
Yeah, Johnny Depp and I have a lot in common, and I'm not just talking
about all the money and the adoring crowds. We're also linked by how
our kids react when we hone our craft in their presence:
Johnny Depp plays with dolls -- but his daughter critiques his
performance. "Actually I do like playing with Barbies," Depp told
the London Independent. "It's kind of a great thing to do with your
kids, it's one-on-one time where you're both inventing characters.
You're watching your daughter's imagination flower. But the
funniest thing for me was that I was actually using that time to
explore different characters with the Barbies and she didn't like
it. At a certain point she said: 'Dad, please just stop, don't do
that, just do your regular voice.' That put me in my place."
Oh man, do I know how he feels. When it's bedtime at AbbaGav manor and
I bring out the story books, I have to tell you, I pour my heart and
soul into that performance. Every character gets its own distinctive
voice, tuned to its particular quirks and moods. Pacing, tone, all of
it at the highest level of artistic interpretation. It doesn't matter
