Title: Cooler Than You
Author: Stephen Dalton
Publication: UnCut
Issue: December 2004
FOR A WHILE back there, we almost lost Johnny Depp. Torn between success and excess, art and commerce, Hollywood’s Lost Boy could easily have coasted into a perpetual twilight of self-loathing like his friend and idol Marlon Brando. More likely still was a slow drift into art house exile in France. There were even moments when the darkness of River Phoenix or Kurt Cobain could have consumed him.
And yet, in 2004, Depp isn’t just back, he’s back on top. After countless flops punctuated by a couple of hits, the uncompromising 41 -year-old is currently basking in the glory of a sustained run of box-office smashes – first his Oscar-nominated turn as buccaneer Jack Sparrow in the theme-park swashbuckler Pirates Of The Caribbean then running away with Robert Rodriguez’s splatterpunk “taco western” Once Upon A Time In Mexico, and now his sensitive portrayal of Peter Pan creator JM Barrie in Finding Neverland, from Monsters Ball director Marc Forster. After years playing emotionally scarred fuck-ups, drug addicts, freaks and outcasts, the Lost Boy has come in from the cold.
GLIDING THROUGH the ballroom of Venice’s Des Bains hotel to meet Uncut, Depp radiates the serenity of a man with nothing left to prove. In his dreamy, faraway voice, he talks about Barrie.
“It’s important to keep in contact with those qualities we had as children,”
Sure, he’s still cool, but Johnny Depp is a new man, creating Oscar buzz with Finding Neverland and cherishing his family-though he still loves a whoopee cushion.
Johnny Depp was having his very own take-your-daughter-to-work day. For months he had been commuting from the set of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory near London to see his fami- ly-Lily-Rose, 5, Jack, 2, and their mom, his longtime companion, Vanessa Paradis, 31-at their retreat on the French Riviera. Every weekend was the same, says producer Richard Zanuck: On Friday after Work Depp took a two-hour flight to Nice followed by a two-hour drive to the family house in a tiny French village, then headed back to London again every Sunday night. The trip never Wore him out. “Monday morning he’d be all smiles and say; ‘I just had the greatest time with my family’ ” says Zanuck. “It seemed to refresh him.”
But he brought the family to England for the last month of shooting. And nothing could quite compare to the charge he got bringing Lily-Rose to the set on Nov. 9. Zanuck explains, “He Wanted her to see him playing with the Oompa Loompas.”
Talk about perks. Less than a year Hollywood’s sweetly scruffy outsider was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for the $654 million-grossing Pirates of the Caribbean, Depp, 41, is once again riding high on a Wave of good fortune.
I must say, I don’t think I would’ve ever met Johnny Depp w/out the help of my neighbor Matt. So Matt, if you read this, ever, you are the best!!! OK, now on to the good stuff. Here’s my story……
I work at the San Diego Zoo on my spare time on weekends. I’m an educator, and I basically educate the public. Anyways, I had come home from a long day at work. I was tired and just about ready to crash on the couch, when my neighbor, Matt, knocked on the door. Matt is a film maker, and he works for Sony Pictures. Well, he told me he was going to film the Golden Globe Awards, and had asked me if I wanted to go. OF COURSE I SAID YES!!! And then came the best part…he told me Johnny Depp was gonna be there!!!AAAHHHH!!!!! I was so excited. I have been a Johnny fan since I can remember. I used to watch “21 Jump Street” in my crib! And he told me that he guarenteed himself that I was gonna meet him!!! YAY!!!! Well after all of the excitement, I checked my calendar and realized I had 2 weeks to get a dress and be prepared. I needed to get started! A while later I had a dress and I was ready to make like a Tom and Cruise. lolz! Or in this case, maybe I’ll make it like a pirate and sail. Back to the point!!
Ivy is one lucky girl who managed to meet Johnny thanks to the Make-a-Wish foundation. This is probably the most amazing experience you have ever read of a fan getting to meet an actor and to spend the whole day with him, and for this reason you should take your time and read in thoroughly.
“I am 15 years old and have a disease called Cystic Fibrosis. Although this disease is considered potentially fatal, I am VERY healthy. I’m sure that as far as this disease is concerned, I’ll live a very long and happy life. I am pretty open about it, so if you have any questions about it, feel free to ask, or you can visit www.cff.org
The disease mostly affects the lungs and stomach, but puts a heavy strain on all of the organs. Of course for every patient it varies a little. As I said, I am very healthy, as I ran on our cross country team, beginning track, and even play the flute. I take pills whenever I eat, and do a daily treatment. Beside a few other pills including vitamins and whatnot, that is about it.
Throught the Make-A-Wish Foundation (www.wish.org) I was offered a wish. My first idea of a wish was to go on a Disney cruise. It had never crossed my mind to meet Johnny! lol : ) The cruise didn’t quite pan out,
