The Man Himself

Anyone who knows me at all is well aware of my borderline-crazy obsession with Johnny Depp. They know I think he is absolutely brilliant and that I admire him in every capacity (actor/father/human/all around gorgeous and inhumanely perfect person).

It therefore causes me much distress to hear news of his impending wedding to the lovely and talented Vanessa Paradis. As lovely and talented as she is, and how I only wish the best for Johnny, I can't help but be saddened by the idea of him getting married. This is probably just because it's going to force me to realize that he is never going to marry me...

Yeah I know how that sounds.
Crazy right?
I'm not even sure if I ever want to get married.
Clearly though - if Johnny Depp proposed to me I would most certainly not decline.

Anyway, I read this absolutely delightful interview with Anne Hathaway in which she talks about Johnny and her experience filming Alice in Wonderland (so excited for it!). I've seen over the years that everyone who ever works with Johnny seems to really respond to him, and they all seem to think he's wonderful (because he is). Anne is no different. She says: "Honestly, Johnny’s everything you’d want him to be, and more". Here's the link: http://www.thenational.ae/article/20090125/ART/290190419/-1/NEWS

Somehow knowing that he really is the most wonderful man in the world simultaneously breaks my hearts and fills it with joy. My heart breaks because I know that I may never even get to meet this man who I have spent years of my life absolutely smitten with. On the other hand, it is filled with joy because for some reason I love "spreading the joy of Johnny". I love when other people, who just perceive him as another pretty boy actor come to realize how much more than that he really is. For example: I convince my friends to watch movies like Ed Wood and Benny and Joon and afterwords feel delighted to be able to bring them into light and into the world of Johnny Depp brilliance.

I always go back and forth with which of his films is my ultimate favorite. I feel like a sell-out saying the Pirates films but the character of Jack Sparrow IS really really brilliant and sure to be known as an iconic role (and he is never more handsome). On the other hand I can never see Benny and Joon too many times, it's just pure joy on film. Then there's Once Upon a Time in Mexico, with one of my favorites of his many brilliant characters - Agent Sands. He's hilarious and wonderful and if you haven't seen it - see it immediately (actually that goes for any Johnny Depp movie you haven't seen). And Cry Baby! Don't get me started on Cry Baby! This was my first experience with Johnny Depp. I remember I saw it on VH1 and I must have been about 11 or so. I don't remember much about my experience viewing the film the first time, but I do remember thinking...."God! That person is beautiful! And hilarious! And even more ridiculously sexy in trying not to be."

I could write about Johnny for hours, but I'm going to stop here. I'll save more Johnny Depp love-ranting for another time.

Now I'm going to provide you with some of my favorite pictures of the man himself:

MY FAVORITE PICTURES of the most beautiful man in the world

I don't know what it was exactly, but I think he was so deliciously sexy at the Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End premiere in Disney.

God...Is he not the picture of the word "smoldering"?

And of course - he looked adorable and a half at the 2004 Academy Awards!

Ahhh he makes perfection look so easy

Okay I'm getting tired so I'm going to leave you with those pictures to drool over as much as you like.
