  • Johnny Depp to pocket $55m for fourth Pirates movie

    Hollywood actor Johnny Depp will reportedly be paid $55m to return as Captain Jack Sparrow in a fourth Pirates Of The Caribbean movie.

    Depp’s fee is reportedly more than double the amount usually paid to A-list stars such as Tom Cruise, Will Smith and Harrison Ford.

    It is claimed that Disney executives believe the deal will save them money, as The Sweeney Todd star, 46, had originally wanted a percentage of the movie’s profits.

    One Disney boss said: “These returns might seem like astronomical figures, but the recession has driven production costs up and profit margins down for everyone.”

    He added: “Percentage deals are a thing of the past. They have proved to be so open-ended that, while talented actors have earned fortunes, studios can no longer afford such budget-busting agreements.”

    The fourth movie, Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is due to be released in the summer of 2011.

    SPL106909_001

    Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp is reportedly in talks to star with Angelina Jolie in new movie The Tourist.

    Depp, 46, is said to be negotiating a role in the movie where he will play an American tourist who is drawn into a web of intrigue by a female Interpol agent, who will be played by Jolie, as she tries to find a criminal who was once her lover.

    Graham King from GK Films is financing and distributing the movie, and production is scheduled to start in February following a shift of elements after the departure of two of the crew.

    Avatar’s Sam Worthington left the movie along with the director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck over alleged creative differences.

    It is claimed Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban director Alfonso Cuaron, 47, may helm the flick.

  • Brad Pitts Malibu man cave

    SPL128628_001

    When family life gets too much, Brad Pitt reportedly makes a beeline for his “man cave”.

    Pitt, 45, is known to escape to his Malibu man-only home, filled with masculine gadgets and ambience – in which, his friends say, he keeps a vintage Wurlitzer jukebox, flat-screen TVs, and motorbikes, including a Harley-Davidson Bad Boy and Confederate Hellcat. Rather than hit the nightclub scene, the Inglourious Basterds star is said to like sitting around and drinking beer with his male buddies.

    Apparently, Pitt is not alone – his pal bachelor George Clooney has filled his homes with expensive boy toys, while actor Nicolas Cage reportedly has a “man sanctuary” filled with rare Superman comics, and Johnny Depp, a father of two, keeps guitars and cases of wine in a Paris cave.

    The late Elvis Presley is said to have built the first “man cave” at Graceland, his home in Memphis, Tennessee, calling it the “jungle room”.

  • 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.”

  • Johnny Depp tries not to watch any of his films

    Johnny Depp said he tries not to watch any of the films he has worked on.

    Johnny, 46, is currently starring in the new flick Public Enemies alongside Christian Bale and Marion Cotillard. In the flick, he plays the gangster John Dillinger.

    He said: “I prefer to walk away with the experience, as opposed to walking away with the product.”

    Talking about the new film, he said: “I’ve not seen the film, so I don’t know what it looks like.

    “I like to portray a character, inhabit a character and build character, but I don’t want to watch the end result necessarily, because it becomes about money then, and I’d rather not think about that.”

    Johnny’s admitted his two children – Lily-Rose, 10, and Jack, seven – have seen more films that he has.

    He said: “My children have seen more films of mine than I have. They’ve seen all of them within reason – many more than I have. I have no plans to see them – any of them.”

  • Hollywood heartthrob Johnny Depp confesses to alcohol overdose


    Johnny Depp has made a stunning statement where he has said that he “poisoned himself” because he could not keep up with the sudden fame when he became one of the most recognized faces in Hollywood.

    Usually Johnny Depp is quite tight-lipped but he tells that he partied so hard in the 90s just in an attempt to find a way how to deal with his meteoric ascent to superstardom.

    In a comment made a few days ago he said: “I never wanted to be the guy people looked at. I felt I could only be myself when I was alone, that I turned into some kind of novelty. The only way I could get through that time was to drink. I poisoned myself with alcohol for years but I’ve never been into drugs in the way it was sometimes made out.”

    Most people just go with the flow and ride the wave till they can handle it and then end up like Amy Winehouse, or basically in the gutter at night and their body guards pick them up and leave them home. Johnny managed to control things around him and is a better off today. He is still the superstar because he did not let alcohol take over him.
