Yesterday at the Golden Popcorn event of the year ... i mean, at the MTV's movie awards, Johnny Depp was a big winner and took home two Golden Popcorn awards for best comedic performance as Captain Jack in Pirates of the Caribbean and for best villain for Sweeney Todd. Congrats Johnny boy!
Other big names to get awards were Will Smith for best male performance, Ellen Page for best female performance in Juno, Robert Downey Jr. for Iron Man, Zac Efron for breakthrough performance in Hairspray and Adam Sandler got the MTV Generation Award. Transformers was chosen as the year's best hit and Megan Fox accepted the award and promised that the sequel will be even better, she used the words "f****ng bad***" !!!

Johnny Depp's career skyrocketed after his role in the 1990 movie Edward Scissorhands. Would you believe that originally the role of the freaky character was going to go to Tom Cruise?!
Oh My! What sort of Edward would have Tom given us? Surely not the same one Depp has!
Johnny Depp is THE perfect actor to play all these freaky Tim Burton characters, no one can do them better!
But at the time, Tom Cruise was an A-lister, while Johnny Depp was just a TV actor! Maybe the producers thought an A-lister would do the movie good ... but they changed their minds and gave the role to Depp instead. Which, no doubt, was a great decision! It was then that the relationship between Depp and Burton started, and we all know what the yielded.

Would you think Tom Cruise would have made a good Edward Scissorhands?

The first issue of Esquire for the New Year 2008 features Johnny Depp on the cover!
The dude is 44 years old, but looks like a 33-year-old ... no?
Here's a bit of trivia about this hottie ...
He loves Christmas and is always excited about it just as much as his kids are!
Depp cannot stand the sight of his own blood (his new movie Sweeney Todd, has liters of fake blood in it!) and hates visiting the doctor.
He has thirteen tattoos, including an American Indian in profile and a ribbon reading "Wino Forever" (for Winona Ryder) "Lily-Rose" (his daughter) over his heart, "Betty Sue" (his mom), and a sparrow flying over water with the word "Jack" (his son).

Johnny Depp is currently working on a few projects, The Rum Diaries & Dark Shadows. Sweeney Todd is another movie, scheduled for release next year.
Dark Shadows is a dream come true for Depp! He revealed in a few interviews in the past, that as a kid, he wished he could be Barnabas Collins from the vampiric soap opera Dark Shadows!

It seems Johnny Depp has changed his mind about living in America!
Rumor has it, he's spilled out about $2 million for a luxurious Art Deco penthouse apartment in Los Angeles!
The apartment's animal-print décor and funky furnishing seems to have appealed to Johnny! It also boasts private decks, views of the Bernadino Mountains and access to a rooftop swimming pool.
The pad is in the newly renovated Eastern Columbia building, which is considered one of the city's landmarks.
If this is true, Depp will be neighbors with TR Knight & Ryan Gosling.

Depp believes his sex appeal will not last for much longer and he worries his looks will fade once he hits 50! He says: I won't last in film much after I turn 50. People go on about how well I look for my age, but what happens when it all drops? I could end up as the Cliff Richard of film.

Johnny Depp has been living in France for the past seven years. His home is there & so is partner Vanessa Paradis & his kids Lily-Rose and Jack.
But after the Pirate star bought a £500,000 house in Bath, speculation is that he might be moving to the UK!
According to Bangshowbiz, Depp and Paradis have been checking out local schools in Bath as well!
So that's a pretty good clue!
Well, Depp has no problem moving to anywhere in Europe, but he has a problem with going back to the US! He says: "America is dumb. It's like a dumb puppy that has big teeth that can bite and hurt you, it's aggressive."

Today June 9th, is the birthday of Johnny Depp.
Depp turns 43! Still young!

Johnny Depp & Kate Moss used to be together until 1997 when they broke-up.
But they are coming back together on screen in a movie about late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence & his girlfriend Paula Yates.
Johnny Depp was asked if it would be a deal breaker for him if Kate was cast, but he said: Not as far as I'm concerned.
Hutchence was found dead in November, 1997, in a hotel room in Sydney. While Yates died in 2000 from a heroin overdose.
With Depp being in the lead, it should be an interesting movie.
