 Johnny Depp
Interview By: Stephen Snart
*Click Here For Another Interview with Johnny Depp
Captain Jack Sparrow is a pirate unlike any other in the history of cinema. With his fanciful walk, sardonic humor, drag queen eye shadow and garrulous manner of speech, Johnny Depp has created an unforgettable character. Let’s not forget his unhygienic teeth either. When asked about his damaged dentures, the congenial actor replies facetiously, “Talk about my teeth? Well they’ve had plenty of problems over the years… several root canals… once they found the tip of a drill bit in one of the canals… that was horrible.” After a moment’s chuckle, he straightens up and returns to the question. “They do something to make the surface of the tooth kind of rough. Then they hot glue and bound these things onto my own choppers. The process of taking them off can be ugly. I don’t really notice them anymore; I’m kind of used to them now.” The ever-devoted actor has to keep them on until the completion of the filming of part three of the Pirates trilogy – which should be sometime near the end of summer. Returning to the part of Jack Sparrow was easy for Depp. “I certainly wasn’t ready to say goodbye to him after Pirates One. I felt like there was a lot more that could be done. A lot more fun to be had.” He didn’t even bother re-watching the first film when preparing – mostly because he can’t stand watching himself on screen. It wasn’t always easy avoiding the film, especially during a period when his children watched it repeatedly on DVD. “You sort of walk into a room looking for something and suddenly you hear that familiar score or voice and you just exit as quickly as possible. I just don’t enjoy looking at myself. It’s a little bit strange.” Fans of the first film will be relieved to hear that Depp has not softened or dialed down his performance in the second outing. If anything, he goes even further with his quirky character traits. The daring performer thinks he may have subconsciously felt more freedom with the second picture, not having to worry about nervous producers and studio executives. “I wasn’t getting the paranoid, worried phone calls: ‘What the hell are you doing?!? You’re ruining the movie!!’” At times, Sparrow is so flamboyant that some are wondering if he intentionally portrayed him as gay. When asked if this was planned, Depp responds with a hearty laugh, “No, it might just be happening naturally. God only knows what’s on the horizon: The Mae West story,” he jokes heartily. Gay or straight, the role has validated his legitimacy as a commercial talent in the mind of everyone in Hollywood. This is not something that Depp takes for granted, nor does he idolize his current status. “It is nice not to have to have a director fight tooth and nail to ... |
