ANGRY PIRATE.
Johnny Depp has success on the cinema screen
but is always ready to say his opinion about his country
and anybody whom he sees as a threat to his privacy.
Johnny Depp is a true pirate. An angry pirate. He lashes out with harshness and precision. And often
with much thought of the consequences. That does some times give him problems. He has for example just have the whole of USA
all up in arms because he has said his candied opinion of president Bush and his Iraq campaign.
"USA behaves stupidly -
like a stupid puppy who aggressively bites at everybody. My daughter is four years old. My son is one year old. I would like
to teach them to see America as a broken toy who is broken . They ought to examine and explorer it a bit and then get out
of it" he says.
Exactly now when the official USA draws on an overpowering national feeling that kind of statements is
very close to high treason. And Depp has also been reproached from all sides.
That has not made his fans love him any less.
And his newest movie "The Pirates Of The Caribbean" which had its premier in Denmark this Friday (September 12, 2003. Meeps)
is a huge success. In its first week in USA it grossed 78 million dollars.
Johnny Depp, who turned 40 this summer has all
in all had a career where he has earned the big buck but at the same has kept his integrity. His talent has always been
evident. But when he is asked today his work is only a secondary thing in his life.
"Everything I was doing up to May 29,
1999 was just a big illusion. I existed but didn´t really live. My daugther´s birth gave me life" he says.
He and
the French singer Vanessa Paradise are the parents of Lily Rose Melody and the one year old Jack. It seems Depp has found
his life companion in Paradise. In his wild youth he dated so different women as Winona Ryder and Kate Moss. Now his whole
life seems to be concentrated around his family which he protects ruthlessly.
"If you want to go near my family I suggest
you use a very long telephoto lens because if you get too close nasty things will happen. Anybody can take my picture - Vanessa´s
too. Nothing wrong in that. We are grown-ups. But my kids - stay away from my kids" he says.

40, far og aggressiv.
VRED PIRAT.
Johnny Depp har succes på filmlærredet,
men er aldrig sen til at revse sit land og enhver,
han ser som en trussel mod sit privatliv.
Johnny Depp er en ægte pirat. En vred pirat: Han hugger til med hårdhed og præcision. Og tit uden
de dybere tanker. Nogle gange giver det ham problemer. For eksempel har han netop sat hele USA i oprør, fordi han i den grad
har sagt fra over for præsident Bush og hans Irak-kampagne.
- USA opfører sig dumt - som en umælende hundehvalp, der aggressivt
bider på alt, der rører sig. Min datter er fire. Min søn er et. Jeg vil gerne lære dem at se Amerika som et stykke legetøj,
der er gået i stykker. De skal undersøge og udforske det lidt og så se at komme væk fra det, siger han.
Netop i disse tider,
hvor det officielle USA trækker på en altoverskyggende nationalfølelse, er den slags udtalelser nærmest at sammenligne med
højforræderi. Og Depp har da også fået på puklen fra alle sider.
Det har dog ikke fået hans fans til at elske ham mindre.
Og hans nyeste film "The Pirates Of The Caribbean" der havde premiere herhjemme i fredags, har da også fået kæmpesucces. I
den første uge i USA indspillede den 78 millioner dollars.
Johnny Depp, som fyldte 40 i sommer, har i det hele taget haft
en karriere, hvor han nok har tjent kassen, men hvor han samtidig har opretholdt en stor troværdighed. Hans talent har aldrig
fornægtet sig. Men når han bliver spurgt i dag, er hans arbejde bare noget sekundært i hans liv.
- Alt, hvad jeg har lavet
frem til den 29 maj 1999, var bare en stor illusion. Jeg eksisterede, men levede ikke. Min datters fødsel gav mig et liv,
siger han.
Ud over datteren Lily Rose Melody har han også den etårige Jack sammen med den franske sangerinde Vanessa Paradise.
Og med hende ser det ud til, at Depp har fundet sin livsledsager. I sin vilde ungdom datede han så forskellige typer som Winona
Ryder og Kate Moss. Nu synes hele hans liv at være koncentreret om familien, som han beskytter hæmningsløst.
- Hvis du
vil i nærheden af min familie, så foreslår jeg, at du bruger en meget lang telelinse, for hvis du kommer for tæt på, så kan
der ske grimme ting. Mit billede kan enhver få fat på - også Vanessas. Det er der ikke noget galt i. Vi er voksne. Men mine
børn - hold jer fra mine børn, siger han.
