To not get the attraction to Johnny Depp

I'm watching finding neverland and I can honestly say I don't get it. I don't get it in any of his films tbh although can see he's a good actor.

I feel by the way every other woman I know goes on about him my eyes may need testing, but he's just so plain.

I don't fancy him at all, not one single bit.

Well, until he dresses up as a pirate anyway and then Jesus Christ he is hot, hot, HOT!!!!!

Charley50 · 02/08/2015 21:30

He was hot about 20 years ago. Now, as far as I concerned, he's not.

Hassled · 02/08/2015 21:31

He's interesting to look at, but not conventionally good-looking. And I don't think it's possible to to see him as Willy Wonka and find him attractive after that.

RiverTam · 02/08/2015 21:32

I used to think him the most beautiful man on the planet but not these days.

GinAndSonic · 02/08/2015 21:35

I can see why you wouldnt find him attractive, but i wouldnt say hes plain. Hes quite unusual looking. id let him do unspeakably filthy things to me

InkleWinkle · 02/08/2015 21:37

I don't get it either. I thought it was just me.

Although, to be fair, he probably wouldn't fancy me either ????

CrapBag · 02/08/2015 21:38

I don't get the big deal at all and never have. I don't think he's an amazing actor either. Seems to play similar sorts of characters a lot, brooding and moody (there are a couple of exceptions). He also looks really false when he smiles. Like he is faking it.

He needs to be introduced to a hair brush and a have a good shower. Looks like a tramp half the time.

WhoisLucasHood · 02/08/2015 21:38

Ive loved him since 21 jump st. He's aged v well. He's made so many films that hides his looks like blow, edward scissorhands and willy wonka.

0x530x610x750x630x79 · 02/08/2015 21:40

It isn't so much his looks, i get the feeling he doesn't take himself seriously. i can't stand pompous serious actors.

GuybrushThreepwoodMP · 02/08/2015 21:45

I think he is very striking to look at. Not handsome but sort of... beautiful and quirky.
More than that, I find him very charismatic and funny.
Overall... I would.

YABVVVU

Yes I think you might indeed need a trip to the opticians. He's sooo sexy.

SmartAlecMetalGit · 02/08/2015 21:59

I don't get it either but then I don't get a lot of people who are widely accepted as being attractive.

I love PotC but when I watch it I'm all about Barbossa Grin

Lurkedforever1 · 02/08/2015 22:05

He's not my taste except as Jack sparrow. Dd (10 at the time) said watching Edward scissor hands that he wasn't handsome but he looks as though he should be and his face makes you want to look at it

lucylooloo · 02/08/2015 22:11

YANBU don't get it either. But then never thought Brad Pitt was that hot, or George Clooney for that matter

LunchpackOfNotreDame · 02/08/2015 22:13

Now Brad and George are hot. I love a bloke not boys.

YY lucy actors who are not hot and never have been-

Johnny Depp
George Clooney
Brad Pitt
Tom Cruise
Keanu Reeves

Capricorn76 · 02/08/2015 22:15

He's looked an absolute state ever since towards the end of his relationship with Vanessa paradis. His teeth are minging and he looks like he smells bad. He was beautiful but whatever bad lifestyle he's led has not only caught up with him but ran over and reversed over him several times. He's a busted mess.

Rubgyshapedlegs · 02/08/2015 22:17

The sex scene in Donny Brasco! I am forever at his service!!!!

Capricorn76 · 02/08/2015 22:17

Brad Pitt looks like a gerbil.

grumpysquash · 02/08/2015 22:17

He was sexy in 'What's eating Gilbert Grape' [which, despite the crap title, was a really good film], but that was decades ago.
Agree with the above posts - he's a bit ropey these days.

ComfySensibleShoes · 02/08/2015 22:18

Yes his face makes you want to look at it - your DD is spot on LurkedForever!

I've never understood the attraction to George Clooney, Mel Gibson, Richard Gere, Russell Crowe

but Johnny Depp is so soft and pretty and sexy, I totally get him

neolara · 02/08/2015 22:18

About 20 years ago he was the most beautiful man on the planet. I think people remember that.

DowntownFunk · 02/08/2015 22:18

I don't fancy him but I like him. He seems like a good egg.

lucylooloo · 02/08/2015 22:18

Agree with all of the above Sparkling. Except maybe Keanu, he looks good but his lack of grey matter would put me off
