NEWSWEEK COVER: The Pirate in Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp Says Talk That He Sold Out to Commercial Success Didn’t Worry Him: ‘If I Was Going to Do Something, It Had to Be on My Terms … Because I Don’t Want to Live a Lie. You Really Don’t Want to Look Back on Your Life and Go, ‘I Was a Complete Fraud”
In a Press Release by Newsweek posted on Sunday, June 18, 2006, Senior Writer Sean Smith interviews Johnny for the June 26 cover story. Tom Cruise and Commercial Success now they go together. But Depp and Commercial success? Not before Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl which grossed $653 million worldwide, made Depp a $20 million man and earned him an Oscar nomination.
Smith writes that it was Depp’s desire to make a movie for his kids that led him to “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl,” but studio executives were nonplused when they began to see the footage of Depp in character. Initially conceived as a young Burt Lancaster, Depp had reimagined Capt. Jack Sparrow as a debauched, vain, slightly fey rock star, inspired by Rolling Stones icon Keith Richards and cartoon skunk Pepe Le Pew. “The studio was, like, ‘Is he gay? Is he drunk? We don’t know what he’s doing!’,” says producer Jerry Bruckheimer. “It took a little while to calm everybody down.”
Depp’s off-kilter performance, of course, was the very thing that catapulted “Pirates” into a cultural phenomenon.
Depp Says He Just Likes Living in France
NEW YORK Jun 18, 2006 (AP)- Johnny Depp says the media’s perception of him as a European wannabe has been exaggerated, and that he just likes the anonymity of living in France.
Both FoxNews.com and ABCNews.com posted an article on Johnny in this week’s issue of Newsweek. It’s the freedom of anonymity that Depp loves about France; the freedom to go out without reporters and flashbulbs popping, the freedom to eat without the pointing and whispering of others nearby.
And if public life is much quieter for Johnny and Vanessa, so too, it seems is their personal life. Depp says, “I’ve always loved it there. “The phones don’t ring as much. Movies are never brought up in conversation. I’ll take the kids and we’ll go out to the trampoline and the swing set, and we’ll stop by the garden and see how our tomatoes are doing. You know, old-fart stuff. Good stuff.” [more…]
