Johnny Depp has said he didn’t set out to be ‘captain weird,’ but his affection for off-kilter, misfit roles seems to fit the Hollywood rebel perfectly – By Sherri Wood – Toronto Sun.
In Toronto at the Film Festival this week to promote his newest role in Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride, the animated movie that opens today, Depp looked perfectly the oddball part. He channeled a style somewhere between a homeless beatnik thespian and Hunter S. Thompson in a haphazard outfit, complete with ragged, handmade accessories, fedora-like hat, bulky, dark rimmed glasses and gold teeth.
Despite his own eccentricities, Depp said the inspiration for his offbeat characters comes not from a hidden inner weird well — but from outside sources, specifically, other oddball celebs.
