OlderJohnny Depp Covers Entertainment Weekly
Johnny Depp promotes his upcoming cat-and-mouse thriller Public Enemies on the latest cover of EW.
The 45-year-old actor plays John Dillinger, one of the most notorious criminals of the 20th century, while Christian Bale takes on the role of federal agent Melvin Purvis.
Enemies is about the early days of the FBI and one agent’s pursuit of the Depression-era bank robber whose reign of stickups and near escapes ended in a hail of bullets outside of Chicago’s Biograph Theater in 1934.
“Dillinger was one of those guys, like Charlie Chaplin and Evel Knievel, that I was fascinated with at a young age,” says Depp. “And because of my grandfather [who ran moonshine during the Prohibition], the character was pretty easy for me to connect to. In a way, this movie was a salute to him… Some people might disagree, but I think he was a real-life Robin Hood. I mean, the guy wasn’t completely altruistic, but he went out of his way not to kill anybody. He definitely gave a lot of that money away. I love the guy.”

I think other actors can learn from him. He is very versatile. He can play any role and do it brilliantly.

He looks old!!
*******************************************************************************************
He’s 45 years old, honey. Did you expect him to look like he’s 21? How old are you, BTW? Eleven and a half?
Johnny’s okay, he just comes off as too quirky sometimes. He does odd and quirky very well. I don’t, however, think that qualifies him as someone that other actors can learn off of. Diversity is great. We don’t want everyone acting wierd.
“THE AMERICAN CHEATER” is here all right, folks!!
He might be 45 but Johnny Depp will always remain HOT!!!
Johnny is totally gorgeous from head to toe no matter what role he takes on or no matter what attire he is dressed in. I can hardly wait for “Public Enemies” to debut in theaters! I follow everything Johnny does! :) :)

Johnny Depp AND Christian Bale? Hell, I don’t care if it’s the worst movie ever made, I’m so going to see this!

Like the portuguese wine
The older He reaches the better He is :D
LOVE HIM ALWAYS
HOTNESS! Cant wait for the movie!
I like his eyes in the cover picture…stealthy looking!!
johnny is the best. he totally rocks. am so gonna see this movie cuz when it comes to johnny its always nothing but the very best. although my favorite still remains pirates of the carribean. oh and 45 wow the guy is super sexy.
Johnny Depp looks great, love him, one of the best actors in his age group. This generation does have a good crop of actors, Johnny D, Robert Downey Jr., Sean P, Christian Bale and Brad Pitt, all talented, all diverse, I love watching which movies they will do next,. And enough of the “these guys look old” comments, they are all in their 40s, nobody stays 25 forever! Even actors age. These guys are maturing and I think they are doing better work today than ever before, who cares if they have a few more wrinkles, doesn’t everybody eventually.
Mr. Depp is a total chameleon…when you look at that cover you don’t see Johnny you see John Dillinger. Can you even believe this guy is also Captain Jack Sparrow, Edward Scissorhands, Sweeney Todd.
I personally can’t think of any other actor that can do this. Maybe I am prejudiced but I don’t think so.
I wa on set during the filming of this movie. Johnny is hotter in person. This movie is going to rock!!!
FINALLY…he’s not uglying it up for a role. Let’s get many many close-ups of this guy’s GORGEOUS mug!
I’m so excited for this!!
I love johanny depp
