Johnny Pirate

Johnny Depp; Photo - AP After seeing Johnny Depp's bravura peroformance in Pirates of the Caribbean and agreeing he is what makes the film, Gothamist started to think about his portrayal of Jack Sparrow. Who is it is based on? Critics have been tripping over themselves tyring to deconstruct it. Some say Keith Richards, who Depp admits he used as inspiration, but Keith meets Pepe Le Pew. Some say drag queen. David Denby offered W.C. Fields, Toshiro Mifune, and Keith Richards. Gothamist thought it was a little like Nathan Lane in The Birdcage as well, hence the drag queen. We must say this: Depp's tan and eyeliner looked really hot.

Andrew Sarris thinks about the Depp most know and love, the actor of "arrestingly underplayed gentleness, calmness and almost mystical sincerity." USA Today thinks Depp is suddenly hot again.

Gothamist on Johnny Depp's penchant for gold teeth.

I have seen three of Johnny Depp's films and I fell in love with him the moment I saw Edward Scissorhands. Has anyone seen that? Yes, I saw PotC: TCotBP the day it came out in cinemas in England and I got it on DVD the day it came out in England: December 1st. Who had to wait till December 2nd? Poor you. I am so mad, I went as Captain Jack on Halloween! My nickname at school Is Captain Sparrow! Praise to Captain Jack!

Love,

Emma

Cynthia

Oh Johnny Depp really should be the hottest guy in the world! All my friends say Orlando Bloom is hot, and he is but not as hot as Depp! When I saw Pirates Of The Carribean, when I saw Depp there, woah! It got hot in there! If Johnny Depp reads this, I LOVE YOU!

He probably won't have enough time. {you know, MOVIE STUFF} Oh Johnny... *drifts and stops and walks away*
