Why Johnny Depp Rules

It’s a simple answer really………….


Because he is SEXY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He looks delicious as any character. Yes, even as the neurotic bugger in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, or in the most defining role, where I fell in love with him, Edward Scissor hands!


I have a feeling it’s because it’s his uniquely androgynous appeal. The man knows how to be both a man’s man and a woman’s man. He has hips that swing, eyebrows that quirk, and eyes that dance. And yes in the latest role that he has immortalized in the three part series, The Pirates of the Caribbean he takes Captain Jack Sparrow to new heights and new depths with élan.


But for me what really works with him is the sensitivity of his face. It acts like a mirror, showing you at various times, not Johnny himself, but the character, from depraved, lustful to damned and hesitant, his face chooses to mould itself to whoever he is. Not to mention that his agility and precision with sword is well………………intensely appealing. The best part is, as I recently discovered in the ‘World’s End’ sequel, even older women like him. His latest fan is my mother who raves about him and assures me he is the cutest guy she has ever met. My six year old son , calls him a ‘Mast Banda’.

As for me……………………well….like they say in the movies………….”I will always remember the day, I met Capt. Jack Sparrow!”
