Johnny Depp is scarfy on the Late Show: do you still love Johnny?


Johnny Depp was on the Late Show last night and I would have done this post sooner, but I decided to watch Hugh Jackman’s appearance from Wednesday night first and I got distracted imagining what I would do to him. (CBS puts the episodes online but it takes forever to watch them as the commercials are excessive.)

I won’t go into the details that are crowding my mind, but Johnny no longer has that immediate effect on me. (That’s not to say I would turn him down! It would be the highlight of my life.) Lately he’s looking more like a parody of his former self. Just check out this goofy long thin scarf he’s paired with pants that are cut up and hanging on the ground. Would it kill him to polish his boots? On the show he wore a ton of stacked necklaces, a shirt hanging off the back of his pants and plenty of rings. Johnny loves his accessories.

Johnny was on the Late Show doing a favor for an old musician friend, Bill Carter, with whom he performed after giving an interview. (Here’s a link to a clip of Johnny and Bill’s interview.) He was also promoting Lone Ranger, but it’s not out until July, damnit. Johnny explained that he’d met Bill and his wife in Atlanta back when he was filming Gilbert Grape (early 90s!) and that he’d actually lived with them for a few months afterwards. It was a really nice story and I was impressed at what a loyal friend he is.

Johnny’s voice was gruffer than usual as he talked about his past as a musician, saying he’d played with a band called “The Kids” and that they’d opened for The Pretenders, Billy Idol and The Ramones. He looked tired and was thinner than we’ve seen him recently.

As for how his film career started, Johnny said that his buddy Nicolas Cage sent him to his agent to read for Nightmare on Elm Street, the first one, and the rest was history. When Letterman complimented him that his movies were huge successes, Johnny quipped “it’s got nothing to do with me I don’t think” I take it back, he’s starting to do it for me again! It just took me a while to warm up to him this time. Johnny, come back to us, we still love you!

There’s a clip of Johnny Depp performing, he plays backup guitar, over at E! Online! Oh and he also told a story about falling off a horse while filming Lone Ranger. You can read that on E! if you’re interested. I think he’s going to work his way back into our good graces, I really do. I can’t stay mad at him even if he does dress like this.

    I think he means to look cool and hipster but somehow he ends up looking like Ozzy Osbourne instead.

    Take off that stupid scarf and cut his hair short (I’ve always preferred him with shorter hair) and I would hit it every which way.

    Pre 2011 Depp would get it hard, I’m talking I’d be bringing my A game and it would be A-mazing.

    2011 to present Day Depp would also get it but he’d have to ask me really nicely and bring me some wine as well. I’d bring my C+ game.

      First – “2011 to present Day Depp would also get it” quelle surprise, Miss Kiki.

      But I agree. Depp never got off my Hit List, he just moved far down it. I wouldn’t make him work for it, any form a desperation turns me off.

      But you mentioned the wine – he has a truly impressive wine collection so yes, that would be a demand in the deal and as to what game I bring – it depends if we are in the bedroom or the wine cellar.

      I agree. If he is just himself, which is like this- but not totally- he wouldn’t come across as skeezy as he does. But, as Celebitchy says, he’s looking like a parody of his former self.

      And it’s not even the looks so much as his attitude. The things he says and how he says them. He’s lost touch with the cool artsy underground vibe he was into when he was younger. He’s too rich and too famous.

    I had been over him since he started wearing the dangling scarfs. And then there was the hat with the hole in it.

    But after watching him on Letterman last night, I am reconsidering. Their conversation reminded me how charming, fun, and kind he is.
    He was there for his old friend. He played guitar but it was Bill Carter centerstage. When Dave came to thank the musicians, he stayed in the background while Dave shook hands with Bill and a few others before stepping back to thank Johnny.
    He did tell the horse story last night, too.
    I don’t care what he is wearing anymore, I’m back as a Johhny Depp fan.
    And yes, that voice was a panty dropper.

    Now, I’ve read it at some place that his next movie (one with Nolan’s main collaborator) he would have to be clean shaven, so I’m starting to say “bye” to his long and disheveled hair and welcoming the clean-cut Johnny. So I’m still here waiting for you Johnny!!

    To be honest, and I used to love Johnny, no man is appealing when he is going through his mid-life crisis/ leaving the mother of his children, looks pathetic and too much attitude for an adult.

    Sorry. I felt the same about Brad Pitt, and Johnny Depp I considered way more deep and real than Brad to begin with, and it’s just a huge turn off to see him like this.
    Sorry.

    I still love Johnny. He’s a great actor, & a person with a kind heart. But he looks awful now. He’s much cuter when he’s clean.

    The hat with the hole in it always made me wonder what was up with him. Maybe Vanessa couldn’t look at the hole-y hat anymore.

    Yet, he is still Johnny Depp.

    Johnny is lost in a time warp, and apparently no one has the nerve to tell him how ridiculous he looks for a man of his age. We know that he has always been a rugged individualist, but the time has come to set aside the chains, the tacky jewelry, the many scarves and rags, which adorn him. Time to put on his big boy pants, cut and wash his hair, put down the tinted glasses and shades, and stop using whatever it is that has turned his pale skin an unpleasant orange.
