Johnny Depp has become pretty outspoken of late, talking about pretty much anything other then the films he is supposed to be promoting – by Lowri Williams for entertainmentwise.com

He hit out at photographers who take pictures of his children: “I don’t care if they take my photograph. I don’t care if they take Vanessa’s photograph – we’re adults.

“But when they start taking photos of my kids and putting them in their galleries/magazines that I can’t support.”

“That’s why they should have the long lens – just make sure that you’re really far away because if I’m able to get my hands on you I’ll swallow your nose. I’d bite your nose off and swallow it.”

Photographers everywhere beware…

In The Libertine Rosamund plays wife and nursemaid to Johnny Depp’s syphilitic Earl of Rochester by Liese Spencer for Scotsman.com.

…Pike went to Oxford to study literature, it wasn’t to get a degree under her belt, she says, but to taste more of that backstage magic. “I knew that they put on loads of plays, and I knew that it would be a great opportunity to go around and do things without anyone seeing, to practise.”

One of the authors she read at Oxford was the Earl of Rochester, an alumnus of her college, Wadham, and the debauched model for Johnny Depp’s character in The Libertine. As his screen wife, Pike only gets one retrospective love scene with him, because he has long become bored with her and moved on to other things. Like the rest of the film, however, it’s quite a raunchy one, with the two of them smartly dressed in a moving carriage, Depp’s hand up her skirt, while she murmurs obscene encouragement. “We all dream about making love with Johnny Depp!” she laughs. “But that scene was funny because the carriage was so bumpy. It was tiny and the director was doing the camerawork in there with us. So his camera was bobbing away… Still, it’s a brilliant example of how things are much sexier if you don’t see them. It’s more sexy than making love in a bed would have been. We don’t even kiss, and it’s so erotic.
