to not find Johnny Depp remotely attractive?

Gosh there has been lots of excitement on MN in the last day or so at the news that he has split with his partner. MNers practically scratching each others eyes out to have first claim on him! Wink Which is all very lovely but....

I just don't see it. And I don't know why - I love beards, I love actors, I love talented men, I appreciate a slightly outlandish dress sense. But he does absolutely nothing for me. Not in his current state, not in his younger days - nada. Not even as Captain Jack Sparrow (see earlier beard reference)

Anyone else feel the same?

Jason Isaacs has lived in London since the age of 11 and went to HABS! He hasn't got a strong Northern accent - he must have been putting it on for some reason!

You wee'd on the telly hownoo? You'll get electrocuted young lady.

Hullygully · 20/06/2012 14:40

did you wee on the telly in excitement?

SPsFanjoHarboursDeadCats · 20/06/2012 14:40

I don't see the attraction either but I have some weird crushes going on ay the moment.

Though I have always liked Colin Farrell

LadySybilPussPolham · 20/06/2012 14:48

YANBU. He just looks like a tranny as Jack Sparrow

Hullygully · 20/06/2012 14:50

HOW DARE YOU

badtasteflump · 20/06/2012 14:52

Hully I've snogged him and I'm telling ya, he's not all that....

SPsFanjoHarboursDeadCats · 20/06/2012 14:52

I'm with lady

Isaacs is from Liverpool but now has a carefully neutral accent (although the Scouse does come through a bit). I don't fancy his much at all, and I heard him on R4 recently and he interrupted the interviewer on EVERY SINGLE question. Seemed self-important and rude to me.

None of the men on this thread float my boat, actually. Tom Hardy has lips like Pob. Eric Bana is indeed a gerbil. Orloondo Bland is a milquetoast.

Actually, I wouldn't kick Fassbender out of bed.

badtasteflump · 20/06/2012 14:54

Isaacs is from Liverpool?

Well thanks for pouring cold piss on that one Grin

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 20/06/2012 14:56

I like a Liverpool accent, personally. But yes, he is: Soz Grin

GetOrfMoiiLand · 20/06/2012 15:06

Ooh I quote like a scouse accent on a bloke. As long as he sounds like Ringo Starr and not Steven 'eeerrrrrrm' Gerrard.

badtasteflump · 20/06/2012 15:08

Don't they all sound like Stephen Gerrard though? Apart from Ringo Starr that is, and also apart from the sing-songy poetic one of the 'calm down calm down' ones (Harry Enfield or the Fast Show or something....)

Jins · 20/06/2012 15:09

What about Alexei Sayle?

Johnnydeppsnewmrs · 20/06/2012 15:13

YABVVVVU!
He is lush! And he can act, which is more than can be said for a lot of "actors".

He has a good range, he can be believable as so many different characters.

He is mine I tell ya! Mine! Grin

CaramelTree · 20/06/2012 15:14

Well I have a weakness for George Harrison's accent in the Beatles films, but I cannot really hear the Northerner in Jason Isaacs. Maybe it is because I am Northern. Maybe he sounds Southern to Northerners and Northern to Southerners.

SPsFanjoHarboursDeadCats · 20/06/2012 15:14

Leave Gerard alone! He's my future husband. Once we met he will know I'm the one

MadgesRightNip · 20/06/2012 15:15

YANBU.

I think he is an interesting, intriguing guy and I can see why others find him attractive, but he is not my type. He looks all straggly and greasy and like he'd stink of fags. Russle Brand-ish, iykwim.

JenFraggle · 20/06/2012 15:51

Ok. The only gorgeous bloke mentioned on this thread so far is Ringo, back in the early 60s only, obviously. What is wrong with you people?

cheeseandbiscuitsplease · 20/06/2012 20:50

I never fancied johnny depp til I saw him on graham norton. He was gorgeous and very charismatic. Russell brand is gorgeous- I have kissed him four times at his meet and greets. Handsome and hunky in real life, polite and smelt divine! My all time fave though is Robert Downey jnr. Absolutely and utterly the most gorgeous man of all time. So sexy and fantastic actor. And like most men - just getting better and better looking as he gets older :) I. Love. Him. :)

Mrsjay · 20/06/2012 21:55

I loved him when he was on grham norton cheese i like that european hobo look my friend almost threw her husband out when she heard the news Grin

lovebunny · 20/06/2012 21:57

oh, that's soooo unreasonable. he might need a shower and shave, but all the basics are in place....

DrCoconut · 20/06/2012 21:58

Maybe I have a strange fetish taste for men in historical clothes but Tom Hardy in the Virgin Queen was amazing. Likewise Oliver Twist and Sweeney Todd. Not so sure about Wuthering Heights. I have yet to see horrible histories in "that" way though!

MrDarcysbreeches · 20/06/2012 21:59

Lotta is crazy crazy lady Grin
