Best and Worst: Golden Globe

Awards by Martina

No,no,no…no need to worry. Johnny isn’t anywhere near the category “worst”. He was chosen by E! Online as the hottest presenter…and we fully agree of course!!He was short,spoke with what it seemed to be a ‘Dillinger’ accent, but Johnny was intense!

Here is what E! had to say

Hottest Presenter: We’re going with Johnny Depp, because he seemed like he just woke up from some sexy dream, and because Glenn Close looked like an excited schoolgirl when he came onstage. Trust us, it ain’t easy to get Close to squeal.

Johny at the Golden Globes

Awards by Martina

Johnny looked dapper and of course handsome as ever. He spoke in his soft voice (a bit raspy as if maybe he is fighting a small cold).Of course clearly nervous like always.He was wearing a black on white tux with no tie. The boots were put away for the evening as he wore nice black shoes to match. His hair was still a bit short in the back and has grown a bit longer in the front (almost down to his jaw line). He didn?t have his glasses on but sported his facial hair that has grown back completely. His sleeves long and neat mostly covered whatever jewelry he may have worn.
He walked up and announced,
?It is my great pleasure to present the nominations for?.?
He read the names,
And said,
?And the golden globe goes to??
and that was it.

It was wonderful to see you Johnny, even though we know you could do without the nerve-wracking experience and that you do it for us?.Thank you Johnny.

US Entertainment Weekly, January 2009 – Public Enemies

by

Title: Public Enemies

Author: Chris Nashawaty

Publication: US – Entertainment Weekly

Issue: January 2009

 

YOU COULD SAY being an outlaw runs in Johnny Depp’s blood. After all, his grandfather ran moonshine on the back roads of Kentucky during Prohibition. So it shouldn’t come as any surprise that the actor jumped at the chance to play John Dillinger in Public Enemies. “Dillinger was one of those guys, like Charlie Chaplin and Evel Knievel, that I was fascinated with at a young age,” says Depp. ‘And because of my grandfather, the character was pretty easy for me to connect to. In a way this movie was a salute to him.”

Based on a book by Bryan Burrough, Enemies is a cat-and-mouse thriller about the early days of the FBI, and one agent’s pursuit of the Depression-era bank robber whose dizzy reign of stickups and near escapes ended in a hail of bullets outside of Chicago’s Biograph Theater in 1934. Dillinger lived fast, died young, and left not only a handsome corpse but a legacy as one of the most notorious criminals of the 20th century.

Directed by Michael Mann (Heat, The Insider), and costarring Christian Bale as the dashing federal agent Melvin Purvis, Public Enemies might sound like a blood-soaked chapter of ancient history. But the film’s themes couldn’t be more timely: Dillinger was sticking up banks at a time when people weren’t exactly rooting for them.
