The January 2006 issue of Vogue Magazine ( U.S. ed.) has a full page review of Johnny’s new movie that everyone is talking about The Libertine. (Sienna Miller is on the cover of the January issue and the Libertine article is on page 80.) Here is a short excerpt from the article:

“What saves this from being a grim morality play is Depp, a dazzling chameleon whose sole flaw is that he hides himself so far inside his characters that we don’t feel the humanity within. Wilmot’s cynical detachment clearly speaks to something deep in this superb actor, inspiring his most expansive work since his larky turn as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean. With his long, wavy tresses and frilly garb, Depp’s Wilmot may look every inch a man of the past, but his disillusionment feels utterly modern. He’s a Restoration pop idol bored with his own power to thrill.”

LOS ANGELES — IN THE FLURRY of press cons crammed into our schedule before the holidays began, our group asked several stars what their hopes and wishes are for 2006. Most of them gave profound answers, especially Johnny Depp who just keeps impressing us (although he does not try to) with the views that he expresses in our conversations with him. This man is a beautiful soul. – by Ruben V. Nepales for the December 23, 2005 issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

Johnny Depp: “I hope for all of us, dwellers of this planet, to attempt to work things out first before we start lighting cars and buildings on fire and hurting other people. Let us all talk first. We have the beautiful ability to speak but we are losing the ability to understand and compromise. That’s disheartening. The only thing to do is keep moving forward and hope that we can all get it together. Well, not to sound like a hippie or a moonie but that’s how I feel.”

Canada’s Inside Entertainment magazine has named Johnny as one of its Entertainers of the year for 2005. The Entertainer of the Year honors for the best of the very best included more than 200 nominees, covering every aspect of the arts, from film and television to stage and page. Fifteen finalists were bestowed the dynamic title including Jason Lee, (40 Year-Old Virgin), Steve Carell (The Office), mega-star Johnny Depp (the first repeat visitor to the magazine’s end-of-year tally) and the British supergroup Coldplay.

Inside Entertainment had this to say about Johnny:

As late as three years ago, Johnny Depp seemed, though hugely respected by peers and critics, rather a fringe player in comparison to Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. Then ghostbusting pirate Jack Sparrow swaggered his way to nearly $700m in global receipts, earning Depp a surprise, if long overdue, Oscar nod. Suddenly, his delightfully offbeat characters were earning not just hurrahs, but also huge amounts of cash. This past year, Depp remained steadfastly true to his uncompromisingly quirky standards, continuing merrily along his colourful path (and defying the year’s sharp downward turn in ticket sales) with first his vibrantly sinister re-imagining of Willie Wonka in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, then, proving he could be equally magical using only his voice as bedeviled groom Victor in Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride.
