Johnny Depp

This is a fun interview from “Access Hollywood,” where Johnny talks about Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End.” Johnny talks about Keith Richards-his first meeting with Keith, and how great Johnny thinks he is-and how Keith took the news when Johnny told him that the character of Captain Jack Sparrow was partially “borrowed” from Keith!

He talks about the possibility of playing Captain Jack again, and how he’d love to do it. He also covers the subject of doing more movies aimed at kids, giving the opinion that “sometimes kids’ stories, themselves, are scarier than more adult themes.” (Definitely true! Have you ever read the original versions of Grimms’ Fairy Tales?)

He talks about the rumors that Keira Knightley was ready to walk away from films to pursue a normal life. He says that if she did decide to walk away, he would applaud her for doing what made her happy. Asked if he has ever thought about quitting acting, he says “probably every 11 minutes for the last 20 years!”

One of the really great things about this interview is when Johnny talks about playing Barbies with his daughter, Lily-Rose. According to Johnny, he’s “had some very good situations as different Barbies!”
He also says it’s “essentially one of the only things I’m good at!” Now, that’s a devoted and loving dad!

In the last bit, he discusses his upcoming movie, Sweeney Todd, directed by Tim Burton. A great interview but, of course, any interview with Johnny is great! Enjoy!

SF Gate.com reports that Keira Knightley has named actor James McAvoy, with whom she stars in Atonement, as the best kisser she’s ever had. What?! This from a woman who’s been lucky enough to kiss Johnny Depp! What gives, Keira?

Of course, it was reported that Johnny said that he found kissing Keira uncomfortable, due to their age difference and the fact that he had met her when she was only 17. I guess that could contribute to it. And I guess kissing is a somewhat subjective experience and different for all of us, but still…

Both Johnny Depp and his Pirates co-star Keira Knightley will be attending the Venice Film Festival, which began yesterday, along with other A-list celebs like George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Jude Law. Keira’s film, Atonement, was chosen to open this year’s festival.

Teens proved that they can, occasionally, pick out a good actor! At Sunday’s Teen Choice Awards, Johnny Depp was selected Choice Movie Actor in an Action Adventure Movie for Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, over co-star Orlando Bloom. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End also won as Choice Action Adventure Movie.

Also winning Teen Choice Awards were Keira Knightley as Choice Actress in an Action Adventure Movie, and Bill Nighey (Davy Jones) as Choice Movie Villain. For a complete list of winners, go to Fox News.

Congrats to Johnny and his co-stars!

Johnny’s Pirates of the Caribbean co-star, Keira Knightley, is the new face of Chanel. And is her ad ever sexy and gorgeous! Keira’s posed only in a strategically placed bowler hat and white shirt!

A Chanel spokesman was quoted on Sky Showbiz as saying:

“We think Keira is perfect because she is always incredibly alluring and seductive.

“She would not have looked out of place in the ’40s or ’50s, and that’s why she was chosen - to show a timeless chic that will never fade.”

Former faces of Chanel include Kate Moss, Nicole Kidman, Catherine Deneuve, and none other than Johnny’s prettier half-Vanessa Paradis! Keira can hold her own with any of them!
