Title: Johnny Depp: How He Found His Own Private Neverland

Author: Erik Hedegaard

Publication: Rolling Stones

Issue: December 30, 2004 – January 13, 2005

In “finding neverland” Johnny Depp plays Peter Pan author, J.M. Barrie with muted, understated ease, and in so doing he may well wind up with his second Oscar nomination. It’s been quite some year for Depp, 41, both good and not so good. His friend Marlon Brando died in July. But then came Never-land. He recently finished filming Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for his friend and frequent director Tim Burton. He’s soon to start shooting the sequel, maybe two, to his biggest hit ever, Pirates of the Caribbean. He recently plunked down $3.6 million for a deserted island in the Bahamas.

What was the best present you got this year?

Probably this gig. playing Willy Wonka.

Favorite movie this year?

Yeah, it’s an old one [1944] called The Mask of Demitrios with Peter Loire and Sydney Greenstreet. I watched it about five times in a row. Brilliant. I don’t see new movies that much. If I do see a new movie, it’s a kids movie. The Incredibles was really, really great. My son. Jack, now runs around with his little Mr. Incredible doll. The beauty is, Jack calls Mr. Incredible “Mr. Credible.” which really killed me. Mr. Credible.

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,”

Johnny’s Depth

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.

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!!
