THE SKINNY: Next week Charlie and the Chocolate Factory opens its doors under the direction of Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp. But it’s next summer’s Depp film that everyone is wondering about—Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest which is being filmed back-to-back with the still-untitled Part 3…
Depp Dish
For years he seemed dead set on being anything other than a movie star, playing so many offbeat characters in so many offbeat movies that he practically became his own genre. Between 1989 and 1998, not a single Johnny Depp film grossed more than $55 million domestically. But two summers ago, “Pirates of the Caribbean” plundered $652 million worldwide, and Depp suddenly became Hollywood’s hottest “new” leading man. He spoke to NEWSWEEK’s Sean Smith. July 4 issue.
Smith: You and director Tim Burton have made several movies together. Did you assume he’d ask you to play Wonka?
Depp: I was stunned. I was ecstatic, man. I was doing Snoopy dances.
Smith: But after the success of “Pirates,” why wouldn’t the studio want you for this?
Depp: That didn’t even cross my mind. All the little films I’ve done that were perceived by Hollywood as these obscure, weird things, I always thought could appeal to a larger audience.
Smith: Still, it must have felt good to have your work seen and loved by so many people.
Depp: I had never experienced anything like that where you meet a 75-year-old woman who had seen “Pirates” and somehow related to the character, and then five minutes later you meet a 6-year-old who says, “Oh, you’re Captain Jack!” What a rush. What a gift.
Newsweek July 4, 2005 – Citizen Cane
Johnny Depp, Hollywood’s hottest eccentric, meets his match playing Willy Wonka in Tim Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. How sweet is that? By Sean Smith. Newsweek, July 4 issue.
Playing Willy Wonka is not for the timid. It requires courage, imagination and flawless fashion sense. “I like these heels,” Johnny Depp says, pulling up his pant cuff to reveal a sleek boot emblazoned with a swirly W. “I wanted Wonka to be this long, string-beany kind of figure, and give him these unbelievable cha-cha heels.”
To build the character, Depp began thinking about the kind of folks who host game shows and children’s TV programs. “Not like Captain Kangaroo, but like that guy on the local cable station in Podunk, Idaho,” Depp says. “Wonka had sheltered himself from the outside world, and television would have been a good friend to him.” Depp also decided to make Wonka a perfectionist and a germ-a-phobe. As for his look, that flawless pale skin, perfect pageboy and slightly feminine air have had some people wondering whether Depp found inspiration in Michael Jackson. “That never crossed my mind,” he says. “I never thought about it once, honestly. But it’s interesting, people’s perceptions.”
