official johnny thread :)

[rainbabies]

The good people over at Paramount have just released this photo of Johnny Depp in the upcoming movie ‘Sweeney Todd.’

Check out the Westminster Clock Tower looming in the distance and the blood seeping between the cracks of the wooden floorboards.

Johnny stars in the title role as a London man unjustly sent to prison who vows revenge. When he returns to reopen his barber shop, Sweeney Todd becomes the Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

The film is due out in December

Johnny Depp is looking hot without his shirt on while spending time with his girlfriend Vanessa Paradis on their private yacht last Friday in Elba Island, Italy.

Johnny To Tie Knot
Johnny Depp is said to be walking down the aisle.

At last...


Yes, we know he's been a taken man for nearly nine years now, but that didn't stop a sob escaping our lips at the news he's set to say, "I do."

The Metro reports that he and longtime girlfriend Vanessa Paradis are getting married.

Apparently, the couple have planned a private ceremony in the south of France, set to take place in the next couple of weeks.

During a previous interview, Depp reportedly said of Vanessa: "You have this feeling - I can't really explain what it was, but I had it when I met Vanessa.

"I saw her across a room and I thought: 'What's happening to me?'"

Earlier this year the couple's daughter, Lily-Rose, was rushed to hospital with E. coli poisoning, which, according to the paper, Johnny says, "spurred him and Vanessa into action".

Congrats, we guess. Sob, sob.

I think it's funny that when it comes to a Johnny Depp thread, pictures alone will suffice. We all get it...

I'd let him shiver my timbers...

Re: official johnny thread

Yeah, I know. I feel a little weird being on this thread. But I had an epiphany. If I was ever granted superpowers, I would ask to take the form of Johny's twin. Then, I would use my newly found powers for evil. Pure evil.

Re: official johnny thread

What I've learned: Johnny Depp

One time a guy told me that he brought his wife to see Pirates of the Caribbean. She had lost her motor skills. I forget what you call it. It's not autism. Jesus, they made a movie about it. You know, where you recede and your functions start to go. Anyway, they're watching the film, and when Captain Jack Sparrow came on the screen, she started to laugh. This guy said he hadn't heard that laugh in years. And so he took her back to see the film repeatedly. For some reason, Captain Jack made her laugh every time. That's right up there.

My mother taught me a lot of things. The first thing that comes to mind is: Don't take any sh** off anyone, ever. When I was a little kid, we moved constantly. Bully picks on you in the new place? Don't ever take any sh** off anyone, ever. Eloquent and right.

My life is my life because of Tim. Definitely.

This is Tim Burton in a nutshell: We were doing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and I was on the set. We were shooting, working, working, working. All great. Everything's cool. One of my pals comes up and says, "Helena [Bonham Carter, Burton's partner] just called. When you get a moment, she'd like you to give her a call back." "Okay," I say. "As soon as I'm done on set, I'll go back to my trailer and give her a call." So I go back to the trailer, call Helena, and say, "Hey, what's going on?" I thought maybe Helena had a question about little boys because Billy was a little baby then and I've got two kids. So I say, "Is everything all right?" And she says, "Billy's fine. Everything's fine. But, well, you know how Tim is. He wants to know if you'd be . . . he'd like for you to be Billy's godfather." I say, "But I was just with Tim. I was with him three minutes ago. I had to leave him to walk back to the trailer to call you." So she called me to ask because Tim just couldn't. That was his way of asking.

I went back to the set and said thank you, told him that I was honored. It doesn't get heavier than saying I'd like you to be the godfather of my son. But he's not ever going to put himself into a corny kind of situation with a pal. He's like, "Good, yeah, yeah." Boom. "Let's get back into the work."

Look, see this little carrot near the dip? Watch. I'll put it in my mouth as if it were a cigarette holder. Now I'm Raoul Duke. I spent so much time with Hunter Thompson, it just became second nature. As soon as I put anything resembling a cigarette holder in my mouth, he starts to come out. It's so natural and it's so strange. It sounds kind of ridiculous to even say it.

The characters are always there and, depending on the situation, not far from the surface. So they show up every now and again. It can't be good for you. It just can't. Then again, who knows?

I don't think anybody's necessarily ready for death. You can only hope that when it approaches, you feel like you've said what you wanted to say. Nobody wants to go out in mid-sentence.

I'm in a very privileged position. And I'm certainly not going to bite the hand that feeds me. I like doing the work. But I'm not a great fan of all the stuff that goes along with it. I don't want to be a product. Of course you want the movies to do well. But I don't want to have to think about that stuff. I don't want to know who's hot now and who's not and who's making this much dough and who's boffing this woman or that one. I want to remain ignorant of all this. I want to be totally outside and far away from all of it.

I remember one time I had done some television interview, and they asked about my family life and kids. I talked about how I'm a proud father and how much I love my kids and how they're fun and what we do and how it's great. I was thinking that if in twenty-five, thirty years my kids watch old footage, I'd be proud for them to see their dad saying how much he loves them. Well, the show aired, and I get a phone call. "What the f*** are you doing?" I said, "Marlon, what are you talking about?" He said, "That's none of their business!" I tried to say, "Marlon, listen, man, I only wanted my kids to . . ." And it was like he gave me this sort of once-over. "You don't do it, man. That's your world and it's nobody else's business. It's not anybody's entertainment." And he was right.

People are super nice in the street. If they want me to sign something, that's great, I don't mind that at all.

There's no limit to the possibilities of what I could do to the paparazzi if I catch them photographing my children.

You don't go through the front door of hotels anymore, you go through the garage. Or you go through the kitchen of a restaurant. Some people want to think that's cool, that's exciting. But it'll definitely make you a little weird if you're constantly being stared at. Part of the process that I've always enjoyed is being the observer. You know, just watching people and learning. At a certain point, the reversal took place. I was no longer the observer—I was being observed. That's obviously very dangerous because part of an actor's job is to observe.

My definition of freedom is simplicity, really. Anonymity. I'm sure it will be a possibility someday again. Maybe when I get old. They get tired of you.

"Didn't you use to be Johnny Depp?" That will be the clincher.
