Johnny Depp

Is he becoming a parody of himself with all these throw away roles he's taking on? Would be nice if he told Burton his mancrush was creepy and started doing something different, something serious. I used to consider him as one of my favorite actors based on entertainment value but now I cringe when I see the roles he's in. Looks like a total joke in the Dark Shadows remake and he's playing Tonto in some Lone Ranger remake. Maybe he's stoned 24/7 and doesn't care anymore.

He's suffering from midlife-crisis and the "crush boy" image.

True. He'll be 50 next year (eek!), and it's quite obvious he's been dyeing his hair for quite a while now.
Isn't it funny how these teen idols all talk about how much they hate it - yet when it starts to fade, they'll do anything to keep it going?

I saw the Tonto still.

Never knew there was a shortage of Native American actors!

I did, but only because of how many times Branscombe Richmond was cast as "Insert Native American Here"

Although I don't know why they're casting Johnny Depp when there are so many Puerto Ricans in the US we dress up like Indians. It could be just like the Thanksgiving Day Parade.

I still think he's one of the best male actors ever

I liked him in Edward Scissorhands, but not in any of his other movies.

**Brecht** · August 9th, 2016, 02:14 PM

The movies he's in today are disgraceful.

I liked him in Sleepy Hollow and The Ninth Gate. I haven't seen any of his later or more recent stuff to comment on.
