Johnny Depp reveals fantasy female role

Public Enemies star Johnny Depp has said his “dream role” is to play singer/actress Carol Channing in a biopic film.

Johnny, 44, has played a number of high-profile roles on screen such as Edward Scissorhands, Sweeney Todd, Captain Jack Sparrow and Willy Wonka.

He said he would most like to play Channing, who was born in 1921 and is best known for her role as Lorelei Lee in the stage version of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

Depp said: “My dream role would be to play musical legend Carol Channing in a biopic of her life. I love her, I really do. She’s amazing.

“With all the digital technology available these days, I could probably pull it off.”

He added: “I’d have a go at playing a 12-year-old girl if they asked me to.”
