Johnny Depp is the one of the actors more scheming of these ten last years. It likes the movie, of course, of the two sides of the movie camera, but it fascinates himself also for the music (it sings, it has a pretty voice), the literature (Antonin Artaud, as it reads in French) and the art (it draws and seen to Picasso an admiration without limits).

Usually stars grumble about talking about their heart blows, putting forward all sorts of reasons more or less convicing. Not Johnny Depp. While in the country for the promotion for his last film, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, he declares himself delighted to be questioned on his artistic tastes. He is not asked to to evoke his favorite painters, specifying how much the emotions, from which that they come, are essential to his work.

FORGET about luxury hotels, exclusive nightclubs and topless beaches. The French jet set are turning their backs on the hedonistic hot spots of the Riviera and seeking out more rustic pleasures on a windswept Atlantic island – by Matthew Campbell, Paris.

Part of the appeal is the low-key reception given to its more famous visitors. Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis might set off stampedes in Saint Tropez but caused scarcely a murmur when they appeared on the island this summer. Copyright 2005 Times Newspapers Ltd.

WOODY CREEK, Colorado (AP) — As the ashes erupted from a tower, red, white, blue and green fireworks lit up the sky over Thompson’s home near Aspen. Sunday, August 21, 2005.

The private celebration included actors Bill Murray and Johnny Depp, rock bands, blowup dolls and plenty of liquor to honor Thompson, who killed himself six months ago at the age of 67.

Anita Thompson said Depp paid for much of the celebration.

“We had talked a couple of times about his last wishes to be shot out of a cannon of his own design,” Depp told The Associated Press last month. “All I’m doing is trying to make sure his last wish comes true. I just want to send my pal out the way he wants to go out.”

WOODY CREEK – An armored truck hauling the pulverized remains of Hunter S. Thompson was en route to Owl Farm on Tuesday afternoon as swarms of workers sweated the last details of the offbeat writer’s ballyhooed funeral service. By Troy Hooper/Aspen Daily News Staff Writer – August 17, 2005.

The bulletproof truck is needed to ensure the public’s safety, according to Anita Thompson, the late author’s wife, because Thompson’s ashes have been sealed inside the tops of dozens of fireworks that will explode above his property on Saturday. Actor Johnny Depp is funding the event, which organizers estimate will cost roughly $2.5 million, to fulfill the vision that Thompson detailed in a 1978 BBC documentary and to his friends and family leading up to his suicide. Seated in front of his typewriter, Thompson shot himself in the head Feb. 20. He was 67.

Though Depp and Burton have made many good films together, none of them have been as good as the 1994 classic Ed Wood.

Depp stars as the title character Edward D. Wood, Jr. Ed Wood tells the story of this real life filmmaker and his quest for Hollywood glory. Ed Wood made classic ‘B’ movies such as Plan 9 From Outer Space and Bride of the Monster. The film Ed Wood shows Wood’s life through a sympathetic eye and shows a passionate filmmaker whose movies didn’t come out on screen the way he perceived them in his mind. The main plot of the film revolves around Ed’s friendship with horror movie legend Bela Lugosi. Lugosi and Wood worked together quite a few times during the end of Lugosi’s life.
