Work with Serbian director Kusturica

Please add the infos about his corporation with Emir Kusturica in 1995 - movie Arizona Dream as well as arrival of Depp to Serbia in Kustendorf these days and statute made after him in Drvengrad http://www.rferl.org/content/Depp_Gets_Statue_In_Serbia/1929700.html Thank u! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.93.52.174 (talk) 23:23, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Johnny Depp had a part in the film "Kiss of the Spider Woman" Wrigpet (talk) 11:40, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

A while ago, I saw the film "Kiss of the Spider Woman" (a Brazillian American Film) It was directed by Argentine-born Brazilian director Héctor Babenco and starred William Hurt & Raull Julia. It was set in a jail with a number of other characters, one of these characters was a very effeminate transvestite who liked to dress up like a woman and put on a show for the rest of the male inmates. I am certain that this character was acted by Johnny Depp, because he was so outrageous and 'pretty' that I took note of who the actor was. However I could be mistaken, so if this can be verified by some one else who knows the film, I would appreciate it. This could also be added to Depp's film credits. Wrigpet (talk) 11:40, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, you're wrong. I know that film and Johnny Depp was not in it. Wildhartlivie (talk) 20:23, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

add,anyone?

also its worth mentioning that he already collaborated with kusturica once and they are making another movie together. i would have added it already but my keyboard isnt working properly, for example i cant use 'shift' and 'caps lock' so it wouldnt be easy to edit —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.244.158.75 (talk) 01:32, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

We don't usually include each time that someone builds a statue or the like. When the film with Emir Kusturica gets closer to production or hits the main trade papers, it will be included. Currently, it is just listed as "in development" on both pages on IMDB, one of 15 for Depp. Thanks. Sara's Song (talk) 01:58, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

dead?

There are reports that the actor's dead. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Harrypmgaga (talk • contribs) 14:07, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

And the reports are being attributed to CNN? Look at this [2] The page says CNN but the URL is "angelfire.com". Check out the spelling and grammar mistakes. Not exactly what we hope to read from a CNN reporter. Keep reading the article and without explanation it switches to discussion of British cavers in Mexico. A little odd. Now check out this [3] This is the genuine CNN article about the cavers. The Johnny Depp death story has been put on the front of it so that it looks legitimate at first glance. If it's true, there will quickly be legitimate reports of it, but for now it looks like a hoax, and that's what we should assume. Rossrs (talk) 14:21, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

I was just researching this myself when I saw this somewhere else. I don't know what happens but a search seem to appear that he is alive and well and working hard. It is strange though, two stories merged like that. I wonder if someone highjacked the CNN logo and made the changes or something. I don't know this kind of thing well enough to say. --CrohnieGal^Talk 15:45, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

These reports are now being widely being denied by various sources, may I add. Routerone (talk) 15:47, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

That link is a blatant and obvious forgery and attempting to use it on wikipedia should simply be treated as vandalism (albeit we are not the target); anyone who added this in good faith is probably not skillful enough to edit wikipedia at all.

The first I heard of this was logging onto twitter so its clearly had quite a wide coverage but unless the spoof itself became heavily picked up on in reliable sources it has no interest for us. Thanks, SqueakBox talk contribs 17:19, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

The date on the article (and I use the term loosely) is: Thursday, March 25, 2004 Posted: 8:21 PM EST (0121 GMT) So yeah, it's a hoax, and a very old one apparently. No need to panic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.130.17.200 (talk) 18:21, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Well spotted. Thanks, SqueakBox talk contribs 19:03, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Roman Polanski

Depp came out in defense of Roman Polanski do you think this should be mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.46.7.61 (talk) 01:15, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I'd put it in there just after his upcoming adoption of Dakota Fanning. Wildhartlivie (talk) 05:35, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Um I don't think he's adopting Dakota Fanning. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.46.7.61 (talk) 00:12, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

minor grammar issue

I would have corrected it myself but the page is protected now....

In the Music section it says "...He is a friend of The Pogues' Shane MacGowan, and performed on MacGowan's first solo album. As well, he was a member of P, a group featuring "

It should either be "...He is a friend of The Pogues' Shane MacGowan, and performed on MacGowan's first solo album as well. He was a member of P, a group featuring....."

or else change to "...He is a friend of The Pogues' Shane MacGowan, and performed on MacGowan's first solo album. He was also a member of P, a group featuring......"

Vineyard

He doesn't grow grape & even less making his own wine. It is as if they said that he grows vegetables in the garden in order to sell them at the market. Madness. And also the restaurant has been sold for ages...

Could someone at all please look at the facts, in regards to the ownership of vineyards by Johnny Depp. He has denied owning vineyards on the Friday night with jonathon Ross show here in the uk. can anyone substantiate weather this is true or not. thanks steve —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.100.85.230 (talk) 18:31, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

He bought it for his girl, not himself. That he said he didn't own one may be true, but there's nothing that says she doesn't own it. Wildhartlivie (talk) 18:39, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

i watched a interview with tim burton and johnny depp on the Jonathon ross show and Johnny clearly stated he didnt have a vineyard —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.166.85.85 (talk) 00:26, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Um, duh. See my reply above your post. Wildhartlivie (talk) 01:02, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

He clearly stated in the interview he doesn't own one, because the French don't want to him to own one. Also, British tabloids are hardly a reliable source of news. We've had words from Depps own mouth which we should accept as the truth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sepmix (talk • contribs) 09:19, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Once again folks, the article states that he bought the property for Vanessa Paradis, not for himself, this it would be entirely true that he does not own one, but he didn't say that she doesn't own one. Get a grip here, the statements are supported by references from reliable sources like the San Francisco Examiner. Did it ever occur to any of you that he may have deliberately obfuscated the real story for his and her privacy? Sheesh. Wildhartlivie (talk) 18:01, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

There should be a link to Winona Ryder in this article. She is mentioned under "Background - 1990s and 2000s" but not linked to. The page is protected, so I can't change it. Thanks! Ecologygirl (talk) 22:04, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Add Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

Though there is a warning in the edit page that says to do not add this film because it only has been announced, I think is time to add it because Disney had even put a release date in its movie page which is May 20, 2011 and if you enter the article Pirates of the Caribbean (film series), you can check a verifiable source that says they will begin shooting this film on June 7th and finish on November, so I think the film is in pre-production. It's not a rumor anymore, is a fact. Disneyfolly2 (talk) 18:09, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

The bottom line is that we do not add films to the table until they have entered some active phase of production. Films in development or pre-production aren't included. On Stranger Tides has not started filming, so it does not belong in the article there. You skipped that part of the warning and it is the key. Wildhartlivie (talk) 21:58, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Well you they have already started filming it now so . . . . 75.220.151.113 (talk) 19:05, 19 May 2010 (UTC) informative person75.220.151.113 (talk) 19:05, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, your dad isn't considered a reliable source. "My dad told me so" just doesn't cut it. Wildhartlivie (talk) 21:11, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Cry-Baby

Should a mention of Cry-Baby be mentioned in the article about Depp after he left 21 Jump Street, since Cry-Baby was a deliberate parody of his teen idol image, to make fun of all of it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.44.78.194 (talk) 00:50, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Based on what speculation? That isn't a valid description of John Waters' work, nor is it a valid description of the film, which was a parody of movie musicals. Had nothing to do with 21 Jump Street, and Depp wouldn't have done it based on parodying what he left for the same reason. Wildhartlivie (talk) 04:18, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Bob Anderson (fencer)

{{editsemiprotected}}

"Anderson who also trained Errol Flynn, another famous Hollywood pirate..."

Please add {{cn}} here. Bob Anderson was in his early teens when Errol Flynn was buckling swashes in Captain Blood (1935 film). It's not absolutely impossible for Flynn's later roles, just unlikely. I think the only opportunity would have been The Master of Ballantrae (film), for which Anderson is credited by the IMDB as a stuntman, not a fencing coach. 192.91.173.42 (talk) 06:07, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

The reference provided there did not seem to support the claims. All quotations require a reference. Thus, I removed the following;

Anderson who also trained Errol Flynn, another famous Hollywood pirate, described in the film Depp's ability as an actor to pick up the sword to be, "about as good as you can get."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.filmcritic.com/misc/emporium.nsf/reviews/Reclaiming-the-Blade |title=Reclaiming the Blade |first=Bill |last=Gibron |publisher=Filmcritic}}</ref>

If the facts can be referenced (or if I missed something), I'm sure someone will correct me.

Take what into consideration? We cannot publish YouTube links that contain copyright violations. Any broadcast that is copyrighted falls under that. Depp's achievements are listed in this article already. Wildhartlivie (talk) 23:29, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Depp's status as a major star was solidified with the success of the 2003 Walt Disney Pictures film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl,[26]

I'm not an expert, but this statement seems bizarre at best, and wrong at worst. Mr. Depp was obviously a major "star," as defined by American culture, far before this film. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Madglee (talk • contribs) 04:37, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Not sure why it doesn't make sense to you. Yeah, he was a star, but he was not considered an A-list star who could write his own ticket until the success of the Pirates films. He also became a very highly nominated and award-winning star. Look at the filmography. There were a smathering of nominations and wins - 12 by count for all the films prior to the Pirates films, and it exploded after that. 13 for the first Pirates film alone, including first Academy Award nomination. It's clear that the role lifted him into the stratosphere compared to the smaller, less stellar career that went before. Wildhartlivie (talk) 07:10, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Ozzy Osbourne Film

Johnny Depp is also considering a request from Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne to play as Ozzy in a biopic in production. The movie is a definite go right now, but Depp has yet to say yes. I believe this should go under the "Film Roles" section. An example of an article on this topic is presented at this link: http://www.hollywoodnews.com/2010/06/02/ozzy-osbourne-cast-johnny-depp-in-my-biopic/

banjo999 (talk) 23:31, 8 June 2010

That falls under WP:CRYSTAL. A possible future role in a possible future film. We don't include things like that. Nothing's certain and it is, after all, just something Ozzy wants. Wildhartlivie (talk) 04:03, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

The new Pirates film is filming right now. If you need a source, here it is:

So, if someone could put that the film is in production, or that the film is filming, that would be great. 75.90.105.234 (talk) 22:20, 14 June 2010 (UTC) Please, I am BEGGING that someone puts that Pirates 4 is in production(or in this case, they're filming it). So please, whoever can make changes in the article, please do this. It is the truth that the film is in production NOW(look above on my link). 75.90.104.211 (talk) 22:12, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

It was asked before, but I ask again.

Johnny Depp's salary

I think there should be information on Johnny Depp's salary, the guy is making $100 million a year[5], which is about $20 to $44 per film. This information should be on the article. It is nuts he is making this kind of money but I think educates why he makes so much money. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Globalstatus (talk • contribs) 22:29, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

It should be noted that Johnny Depp also gets $3 million up front just to sign the film contract, thats non-refundable. Even it the film never happened, he still has to get paid. It is dam shame we have actors that are in the business to take as much money they can get and get away with it. Everybody has to pay those fees or large lump salaries.--71.84.3.109 (talk) 21:29, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Meaning of Depp in German

This section is totally irrelevant trivia. Surely it should be removed? 59.84.101.183 (talk) 10:09, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

I do not see what it adds to the article. I think it should be removed also. 24.127.93.76 (talk) 20:12, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

The meaning of a man's name is not irrelevant. It probably makes him cringe in the company of Germans. If you edit this out again, Why not identify yourself? --Achim (talk) 04:19, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Lest there be any confusion: I was not aware of the editor who apparently removed this a month ago. But I am the one who removed it today. This article is about a person, not the Depp name. It is contrary to WP:PT policy.

Family names come from many sources, and we all learn to discount them. There are (I am told) plenty of Italian surnames that are simply lewd. If any Americans who have those surnames cringe when they visit Italy, I imagine they get over it quickly -- long before the age of 40. So also with Depp. Jmacwiki (talk) 15:44, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

In the wikipedia english written article Johnny_Depp, the profile says his marriage with Lori Anne Allison end in 1986 but in the article says they divorced in 1985 so the profile should say "Lori Anne Allison (1983-1985)" instead of "Lori Anne Allison (1983-1986)" that says now.

Johnny Depp is was currently married to Vannesaa Paridisa, but is now currently married to Malone Hughes after he met her in he crowd of one of his premieres! they are hopelessly in love and now live in france to get away from all the crazy fans.

Johnny was never married to Vanessa. There is no record that shows his marriage to her. They may have two children together but that does not mean they were married. As for their relationship they are still together living on the outskirts of Paris. As far as this Malone Hughes goes, that was just a rumor that was made up. Him and her never hooked up or anything. it would have been all over the tabloids and news if they were.

Depp Is Related To Her Maj

Johnny Depp is according to geneologists related to Her Majesty, being her 20th cousin.Twobells (talk)

Ooh, so Depp and Queen are cousins to me, too? Funky world we live in, eh? 70.180.188.238 (talk) 09:44, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

No, not "is related" at all. That source is heavily qualified with expressions like "thought to be related", "could be related", "probably related". -- Jack of Oz ^{[your turn]} 09:55, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

This relative goes back to the 1500s. If you are of English descent, you are likely related to the Queen of England to some degree - a cousin on some level. That's just how genealogy works and it isn't that notable. As we move up any given person's family tree, they have more and more ancestors, and there were less and less people in the world. That's how the math works. All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 10:16, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

origination

He is derived from Pierre Dieppe and the french huegenot is correct, but you are missing the alternate spelling of Doeppe as well. Dieppe and Doeppe are the same derivitive and are pronounced the same (Deppy). Deppe was an American spelling and pronunciation after settlement and shortened further to Depp in Johnny's familys case.

Article's references

As too often happens on celebrity articles, I'm seeing very poor or questionable sourcing for Depp's family, early life and relationships: Links that don't support claims, links to non-RS gossip sites, and citations given for books without any page number being provided — which is remarkable, since any high school student should know how to do proper footnoting. I've simply commented-out some of this for now until proper cites can be given, and I've removed particularly personal claims under Wikipedia policy for Biographies of living persons.

Depp's role in Hugo

Edit request Aug 24, 2012

This sentence in Early Life is awkward. His mother married, as her second husband, Robert Palmer (died 2000), whom Depp called "an inspiration to me".

I would change it to 'His mother remarried Robert Palmer (died 2000), whom Depp called "an inspiration to me". Mylittlezach (talk) 00:09, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

And then it is followed by his self-harming. Anyone have anymore information about his step-father and possibly then have it follow the self-harming sentences. Sounds weird to have an 'inspiration' followed by self-harm.Mylittlezach (talk) 00:11, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

AND - these sentences in Early Life," Both Fenn and Depp auditioned for the 1986 film Thrashin' and they were both cast, with Depp being chosen by the film's director to star as the lead, which would have been Depp's second major role. Depp was later turned down by the film's producer, who rejected the director's decision." should be under the section Films where it already is mentioned.

Pirates of the Caribbean 5 - 2014?

Just an FYI, but because the film Pirates of the Caribbean 5 isn't greenlit as of yet, it should be changed to TBA or something. I'm sorry to say this, but I believe someone is inserting false information into this article and JD's filmography page. Firstly because of the greenlighting of a fifth Pirates without any source. And secondly because of someone writing that Depp "reprised" the role of Tonto in The Lone Ranger, which is technically Depp's first film as Tonto - a mistake which has been stated, and apparently ignored, above. So thanks in advance for anyone who's able to fix these mistakes. If not, I guess I can't put my faith in Wikipedia as I use to. 173.186.167.196 (talk) 09:15, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

Reprising the role of Tonto?

In the section titled "Comanche adoption", this is written: ...he would be reprising the role of Tonto as a Comanche in The Lone Ranger, a feature film scheduled for 2013 release.
Shouldn't this be saying he would be portraying the role? Or something along those lines? Because if this is Depp's first film as Tonto, then it wouldn't be correct to be saying he reprised a role he just started. 173.186.161.35 (talk) 19:43, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

Concise rephrasing with better wording, less bias, and better source

In the section titled Future Roles, it states "Depp was going to star as Tonto in 2013's Lone Ranger film, but the project had been shelved because of budgetary concerns, as well as a lackluster response to the 2012 science-fiction Western Cowboys & Aliens.[36] The project was revived and the film will be released on May 31, 2013.[37] "

The article source is a Philly.com blog [36] Better source would be EW.com stating the halt, article below: http://insidemovies.ew.com/2011/08/13/disney-halts-johnny-depp-lone-ranger/ Reference attached:

And here is an article citing the start of filming after the problems were fixed: http://www.deadline.com/2011/10/the-lone-ranger-saddling-up-with-johnny-depp-and-a-tighter-budget/ Reference attached:

Both of these were used in citing "The Lone Ranger" wiki.

Would like to fix past tense in first sentence, as he is starring and rephrase to make it more concise, and less biased.

"Depp will star as Tonto in 2013's Lone Ranger film, produced by Disney. Budgetary concerns and critical response to the 2012 science-fiction Western Cowboys & Aliens delayed production.

Patron's activities of Johnny Depp

Since I was unable to verify whether the Mirror (not the most reliable of sources) got it wrong or reported accurately what was said on the program, I've been bold and removed the offending sentence. Honestly, how helpful to understanding Mr. Depp is it to know that he might have Huguenot ancestry 20 generations back? I was tempted to remove the next bit, too, because I think all this genealogy stuff rather interferes with the logical flow of the section, but wasn't feeling quite that bold.

Comanche Adoption

Wikipedia supposedly an unbiased information source, but this section is just full of it. Tracing African and Native American ancestry is very hard because they were either kept as property or hunted down like animals. If you know US history, it was better to be called full white than say you are part Indian and be classified as 2nd class citizen. Nowadays society allows more freedom to express your heritage, but it is sad to see unjustified citations, biased writing, and unfounded references just because Depp claims to be part Indian. If he is proud of it and shows his Indian heritage tattoos and helps promote Native American ideology then he is Indian by spirit, if you know the concept of spirit and heart as the Native Indians do then Depp is definitely part Indian. The one who spreads peace and knowledge of his own culture/tribe is a true brother to the land and his people, while the ones who shuns him for his actions/intentions is no better than the people whom annihilated his ancestors. The new movie Depp/Tonto are equals with the Lone Ranger, unlike old movies and shows Tonto was taking orders from the Lone Ranger and portrayed as inferior to the white man. Also it is not like he is claiming to be royalty or from an extravagant bloodline, so why all this hate? I still feel it is very biased, but at least I removed that unfounded source stating that Native Americans Indians think Depp is ignorant and insensitive, it was not even in the stated source. Blatant biased comment hidden with a reference. Neoking (talk) 02:16, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

Yes I agree. The whole section's citations from E-online and Entertainment Weekly are gossip sources at best. The slant is a pre-viewing of the film slant, so perhaps more sources can be found now that show that Depp's portrayal was not detrimental to Native American values. Having seen the film, and thinking the same thing about the bird, it all made sense after watching the movie. When the lone ranger visited the tribe, they explained Tonto's mental illness, and then everything made sense. To get back on point, if anything the sources up to this point have quoted Depp as saying his Grand Grandmother was part Indian, so in good faith this should be accepted, Wikipedia should not be a place for gossip, especially if it goes against what the sources are actually reporting. Quash-asia (talk) 08:26, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

The "gossip" is his "guess" at having ancestry. These things are not vague or mysterious to people in the communities in question. There are traditional ways of dealing with these claims. Who is Native is up to the tribe the person claims; the question is whether the tribe claims them. As sourced in the article, professional genealogists from all the tribes he has variously claimed have checked, and he has no Native ancestry. What he has is some African-American ancestry. The tribes he claimed are more documented than non-Natives of the same period. They kept excellent records and still keep them. It is very common for "white" people with Black heritage to claim Native instead; he may well have been told this by his family, but they were misinformed. And the adoption only makes him Ms. Harris's relative; it does not make him Native or a member of that tribe. - Slàn, Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦♫ 20:08, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Johnny Depp Taylor Glaze

“There are four questions of value in life: What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for? And what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same. Only love”- Johnny Depp is a very successful person. He is successful for three things, his family, acting career, and his music. Johnny Depp’s mom name is Betty Sue Well Palmer-Depp. She divorced his father when he was fifteen. Betty Sue worked as a waitress when Johnny was young, and never finished her education, therefore she is unemployed today. Johnny says that she worked so hard when he and his friends were young, now it’s time for him to work and give his mother some comfort. His father, Jack John Christopher Depp I, was a city engineer. He worked for various cities until they moved to Florida, where he became the Director of Public works in Miramar. He divorced Betty Sue in 1978. When Johnny was 20 years old he married Vanesa Paradis, she and Johnny first met somewhere in 1994, but was in June 1998 when Johnny was filming “The Ninth Gate” in Paris, that they had an encounter. They have been happily sharing a life together ever since. They are not married, but Johnny tells that “for all intents and purposes, we are married. We have two kids together and she’s the woman of my life.” Johnny Depp has two kids, a boy and a girl. Their names are Lily-Rose Melody Depp and Jack John Christopher Depp III. Lily- Rose was born on May 27, 1999 at 8:25 pm in a hospital near Paris. She is named after the mermaid named Lilly from the movie “Magic Island” (1995). Jack was born on April 10th, 2002 in a hospital also near Paris. He was named after “mad’ Jack from the movie Magic Island (1995) In 1988, at age 20, Johnny met and married 25-year old makeup artist, Lori Allison. That same year the couple moved to Los Angeles with Depp’s band in hopes of striking it big. One year later, Depp fell into acting when his wife introduced him to her ex-boyfriend, actor Nicolas Cage. Cage saw potential in Depp, and introduced the hopeful musician to a Hollywood agent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.19.214.245 (talk) 20:08, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Ancestry

I don't think it can be confidently asserted what his ancestry was. He certainly doesn't look like he had predominantly European ancestry. It is false to assume the official birth, death, and marriage records are correct, particularly in an era when illegitimacy and racism were burning issues.--Jack Upland (talk) 03:35, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

It has been documented and sourced that Depp has two lines of African American heritage, and zero Native. The tribes Depp claimed ancestry from have actually kept excellent records. His ancestors aren't on them, and none of the tribes claim him. It's precisely because of anti-Black racism that many "white" people who are the descendants of Black slaves chose to alter their stories to hide the Black ancestors, especially as romantic stereotypes of Natives have become popular among spiritual seekers. Similarly, there are contemporary African-Americans who believe they have Native ancestry, when they actually have none, because a recent ancestor decided they'd rather falsely claim to have Native ancestors than have to tell their kids that grandma was raped by a white slaver. Racism in this country has led to a preponderance of muddled family stories, but that's no reason to add unsourced and/or racist speculation to the 'pedia. - CorbieV^☊ 20:36, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

So you can confidentally assert that none of Johnny Depp's white ancestors had a clandestine affair with a Native American from whatever group? What's the source for that?

How is he "American"?

BERLIN, Germany (Reuters) -- Hollywood star Johnny Depp said on Wednesday the United States was a stupid, aggressive puppy and he would not live there until the political climate changed.

The 40-year-old actor, who stars in the "Pirates of the Caribbean," told the German news magazine Stern he was happier staying in the south of France with his wife, the French actress and singer Vanessa Paradis, and their two children.

"America is dumb, it's like a dumb puppy that has big teeth that can bite and hurt you, aggressive," he said.

"My daughter is four, my boy is one. I'd like them to see America as a toy, a broken toy. Investigate it a little, check it out, get this feeling and then get out," said the star of the off-beat films "Edward Scissorhands" and "Dead Man."

Depp slammed George W. Bush's administration for its criticism of French opposition to the U.S.-led war in Iraq.

"I was ecstatic they re-named 'French Fries' as 'Freedom Fries'. Grown men and women in positions of power in the U.S. government showing themselves as idiots," he told Stern."
