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.
I guess Johnny would rather look like Ozzy than a hipster.
I think he is aiming for Keith Richards actually, but it ends up in Ozzyland.
He is simply too old for that look. It worked when he was in his 20/30 but now it looks forced. Get a nice hair cut, shave your face and buy good fitting clothes.
..also looks in desperate need of shower. Not hot..
couldn’t have said it better.
He’s turning into Michael Jackson as far as the weird clothing fetishes…
Either he looks hipster or Ozzy, I think he has his dibs to make his move other than one night star blasts. He is an icon and yeah, I still love him. 🙂
Johnny might be getting hair plugs or something like that & keeps his head covered. Brad Pitt always wore a hat when his plugs were being done.
You bet your sweet ass I still love him! He is my number one guy when it comes to actors and I doubt that it will change. He can play anything and he does it well at that.
+10000
Mine too, love this man
And I know that underneath all that mess he’s still hot as hell
Totally agreed. It doesn’t matter what he wears, who he dates (although I could regret saying that later) or even if he only did Disney movies for the rest of his career. I-ah-I-ah-I will always love hiiiiiiiim. Ooooooooo ahhhhhh. 🙂

I’m tired of the homeless pirate look.
Seriously. He needs to shave, cut his hair, take off all of those goofy necklaces/scarves/rings/bracelets, and put on a nice, tailored suit and tie. Then he’s a YES every time. His face is still beautiful (from what I can tell under all the homeless-chic accessories), he just needs a good scrubbing.
Oh come on, everybody else in Hollywood has short hair, wears nice suits and looks generic. Leave Johnny the way he is. He is fine.
Yeah, men in Hollywood look that way because looking clean and well put together is very attractive. Looking like a smelly hobo is not a good look, even for the handsome Johnny Depp.
The Onion has a report on how he’s now completely made up of scarves and bracelets.
Ummm, not so much anymore. He wears more accessories than I do. Which is pretty uncool for a guy.
Mid-life crisis.
I would bang him like a door in a hurricane.
OMG, your comment was the LOL moment of my week! If you don’t mind I am going to use it next time when I dream about my fav hottie.
Yup, me too!
Me too! But i would like him to be full-on pirate!!!
Not into him, but your comment was one of the funniest!
rofl
And YES!
I would bang him WITH the door. Why does he try to look like a homeless person. He can’t cut his hair wear clothes that are clean and not left overs from Steven Tyler? To me he looks drugged out and dirty. Although I sometimes like his attitude.

Everyone in my office just turned to look at me since I laughed out loud at your comment! ROFL
Oooh, in the first few pictures he seems to be morphing into Kate Moss. Probably no one else will see it, but I can’t un-see it now.
Mind = blown, lol! Creepy. Not that I advocate messing up anyone’s marriage, but they NEED to get back together. I have got to see them ride the crazy train to Midlife Crisis Town. Kate doesn’t seem into her dude now anyways.
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.
That said, he’s definitely thinner. I guess the split with Paradis has gotten to him?
Nope. Lainey killed the last remnants of my enthusiasm for him.
I just watched “Chocolat” again the other day. I forgot how hot he is in that movie. I can overlook the scarves, I think.
He’s all right looking in ‘Chocolat’, but the fake Irish accent annoys me.
Chocolat was over a decade ago. He doesnt look like that now.
Yes, Chocolat is my perfect Johhny! He is soooooooo sexy. I still love him, I can’t help it. I wish he’d clean up a bit but I’ll always love him.
Love that movie – one of my favorites! And my 8 yr old daughter would love that scarf…
Maybe he can use the scarves for tying me up???
Valid point.
I like the way you think.
wow, for the first time, my answer to this question is “eh, not really, no.” between the clothes and the split and the trailers for Lone Ranger (which looks HORRIBLE) I might just be done with this one.
I know, right?
Part of his appeal, for me anyway, was that he said he was taking on all these movie roles for his kids future, you know, like a family man.
Now he’s just a older guy with too many busted romances under his belt and he’s turned into Disneyland Dad. Not attractive.
http://www.celebitchy.com/223484/johnny_depp_spent_50k_on_his_sons_10th_b-day_didnt_invite_vanessa_paradis/
I’ll always love him, but he’s so embarrassing these days.
I wouldn’t mind having the coat, but not if I also have to take the guy. Never gotten his appeal, he looks grumpy and seems to have no sense of humour and that is not sexy at all.
He thinks he is Keith Richards
My thoughts exactly –
He’s actually become the poor man’s Keith Richards.
I never had it for Johnny. I just dont understand people who work so hard to look so dirty. Its funny though because I love a dirty Tom Hardy.
yeah, but Hardy is different – when he’s dirty, he’s not trying.
he has never done anything for me. never understood girls falling all over him. just blah on him
on that note, where’s james mcavoy these days?
You know. Once you get all those clothes off him…..he’s probably still pretty do-able.
That’s why we have to enjoy our youth. The hot doesn’t last forever…
Not a fan of the scarf, but agree, naked would do nicely!
tom cruise could take a leaf out of jonnys book. jonny is also 50 or therabouts but the styling – and i have to admit – the genes too – make him look mid-30s tops. he looks great and he always comes across well in interviews and seems like a nice guy.
I’m still in love with him. Have been since 21 Jump Street.
But is it just me or is he wearing a woman’s coat?
Yes on the woman’s coat. I was thinking the same thing.
I like to quote Iggy Pop on this: “These are not woman’s clothes. They are mine.” But Iggy was wearing a dress.
Oh dear. I so loved Johnny, but sitting there with David Letterman he looked like a hobo version of Mr T.
You just made me spit coffee!
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.
What can I say, I’m a good person, everyone deserves a go.
I’d forgotten about the wine collection, for that he gets my B game. Lately he’s just so blugh, the scarves, the chains, the bracelets. He’s a caricature of his former self, it’s embarrassing.
I’ll always love Johnny.
You know the old rule about accessories, that you look at yourself in the mirror before you leave the house and take one thing off? Do you think Johnny does that?
Haha. I hope he does. It would make him even more awesome.
I want to know what he looks like without his makeup and with less accessories
I don’t get his appeal? May be because I didn’t grow up with him since I’m in my early 20s. To me and my friends he’s just… gross and old. I think if he cleaned himself up, I might think he was attractive. I don’t know. He just doesn’t do it for me.
Yep. This. He’s gross and old. I can’t imagine anyone still finding him hot. He needs a haircut shave and a bath, and then we can talk. Yuck.
See I’m surprised by that, I thought he transcended age I’m 25 as are most of my friends and they still would.
Same here, he just old and embarrassing. But i watch his old movies and he was really hot when he was younger and when i was a kid i thought he was so dreamy in finding neverland. So i see it, but its not there anymore. He is the same age as george clooney or thereabouts right? Not that i am a fan of clooney but somehow its more attractive with a man that looks his age and doesnt try to look and act as if he is still in his 20’s.
Nope. Haven’t loved him in a loooooong time. He’s too hobo/smelly/douchy these days.
I would love to see Johnny Depp look as clean cut and beautiful as he was in Public Enemies all the time.But I accept that he is eccentric,which means rich and crazy,so if he is comfortable looking like a homeless street musician then….more power to him.In my mind he is still the hot guy in 21 Jump Street.
I remember reading in an interview that he even takes PRIDE in being the “worst dressed men” in Hollywood. That was in the late 90s. I guess he still does.
Yeah, I never got the sense he liked being voted ‘sexiest’. Which only makes him more sexy.
He wears enough clothes for 3 people and you know he has horrible cigarette breath…. But I would still hit it.
I use to want him, but not anymore. He looks dirty all the time. I don’t mind the long hair, but he needs a bath.
i like my men to ‘not’ look homeless and unhygienic. 🙁
I love him in a non-sexual way. I adore watching him on screen. He is absolutely mesmerizing and always will be. 🙂
I’ve been over Johnny Depp for about 15 years.
He looks like he smells. He needs to get to a dentist STAT, even his fingers are filthy, have another cigarette, UGH
He looks like Gary Oldman did as the title character in Bram Stroker’s Dracula.
That is blasphemy!
Take it back!
Dracula was the first time my young self thought that Gary Oldman was attractive….good Lord he was so seductive in that film. Now we know how he has a thirty something year old hot wife.
No offense intended. I just meant that Johnny in that long coat and hat, reminded me of the dracula character in that movie. Gary Oldman is still clearly a sexy mofo.
http://media.beta.photobucket.com/user/BlackMagicApril/media/Bram%20Stokers%20Dracula/1f2a.jpg.html?filters%5Bterm%5D=bram%20stokers%20dracula&filters%5Bprimary%5D=images&sort=1&o=30
my GOD, YES! Gary Oldman in Dracula was just about the sexiest thing I have ever seen. I don’t know how, but DAMN. He brings the sex.
Ummmm…who told him the homeless hobo hipster look is in? He looks disgusting and his teeth are nasty. I can’t remember the last time JD was hot. He needs a bath and delousing STAT
Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt remind me of each other, in an odd way. It’s like they can’t grow old gracefully. They have to fight it every last step. Brad Pitt cleaned up nicely for Moneyball, I’d like to see Johnny do the same for a movie.
Depp is trying to hard to be hipster cool and relevant.
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 still think he’s cool. I also think he lost some weight which makes his face look much better.
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.
I agree! I don’t like his fashion as of late,but when I see him as such a loyal friend and humble person,he just gets a pass.
Middle-aged millionaires dressing like “rebels” is not a good look.
I don’t care I will always love Johnny Depp.
He is a nice guy. on the interview he looked really good, because I can saw his beautiful cheekbones again…and I can’t say NO to those cheekbones. So, I’m starting to love him again
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!!
I don’t like clean cut Johnny.
I like hobo Johnny with a bit of a beard, long hair, scarfs, scruffy…hey if you don’t want him i’ll take him!
Love him!!
Who would even consider him if he was not J.Depp-the-movie-star, but just some random guy in the street? With the exact same look and clothes? Ladies, please…
YES! YES! YES!
Oh yes, i would no question. He’s been my favorite actor for quite some time and he just does it for me… That face! I like the scruff, can’t help it!
Man needs to de-accessorize.
Remember Gracie Allen’s aunts advice “You should always remove one accessory before you go through the door so as not to be over accessorized.” Let’s hope Johnny lives in a house full of doors.
House of doors…lmfao. Genius!
Please, pleeeaaase, let one of the doors be of the @Mellybee hurricane variety!
He may think he looks cool but he doesn’t. Lenny Kravitz, Prince, Adam Lambert and Bruno Mars look cool, Johnny Depp just looks like a hobo. I like Johnny Depp but I think he would benefit a lot if he hired a stylist.
I’ve never liked the greasy Johnny Depp.
I will love him always and forever!
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.
You took the words right out of my mouth, Mimi. So disappoInting.
You can dislike him for his clothes all you want. But you have no clue why he and Paradis broke up. He could have been a player for the past 25 years and yet he wasn’t. What makes you think he woke up one day and walked out on his “perfect life”. They were obviously on the rocks for long.
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.
i still love johnny, he is always gorgeous
I think Johnny looks fantastic. He’s got his own style and he owns it.
did anyone see the performance?
Johnny on the electric guitar was so distracting to the melody.
Wanna be musician. Money and fame buys you a gig on Dave I guess.
I still love his cheekbones.
“a gig on Dave”? He has played with Patti Smith,Eddie Vedder,Alice Cooper,Aerosmith,Paul McCartney,etc. and they all say he’s very good at it.
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.
Totally mid-life crisis. Plus his look does not fit a fifty year old zillionaire – Johnny – you’re a zillionaire – own it!
Gross. He looks stupid dressing like that at his age. He also looks like he smells horrendous.
Okay, so he dresses like a weirdo these days… I think he’s a bit confused in terms of the image he’s trying to project. But he’s still pretty and sensitive and just a nice guy so he gets a pass from me.
He looks like something growing on the side of a tree trunk.
My husband just walked in and said “he looks like a girl playing a hobo.” That about sums it up.
Unfortunately, Johnny just isn’t doing it for me! He seems like such a toolbag. 🙁
Is he wearing his girlfriend’s coat?
It’s not about whether or not I would hit it with Johnny D, it’s about the fact that I know he is one of THE sweetest people that I’ve ever met. Not just the sweetest celebrity, the sweetest person. He has a good heart, trust me on that. I want to bear hug him.
He is a really good actor and I do enjoy all of the movies I see with him in it. He always comes off really well in interviews and Pirates is my all time favorite movie, BUT he looks terrible. I’ve never seen the appeal. He looks like a drug addict in need of shower, hair cut, and shave.
He’s trying too hard. Johnny lost his mojo. It’s sad.
I love that he’s straight and wears accessories! You don’t see that often! Well, I don’t anyways! 😛
I know lots of guys that don’t wear jewelry or accessories because they think it makes them look feminine/gay! o_O I disagree with them!
Ha!! Outright supporter of the homeless, the down-trodden and the ostracized… the poverty stricken, the needy and the oppressed…
WOW HE LOOKS REAL GOOD (IF HE INSISTS ON THIS SIGNATURE LOOK OF HIS) BETTER THAN USUAL IN FACT. EVEN HIS STYLE IS A LITTLE BETTER AND HE SEEMS TO HAVE LOST A LITTLE WEIGH TOO. THIS IS HIS BEST LOOK SO FAR. THE HAIR SEEMS LONGER, HEALTHIER AS WELL AND I THINK IT SUITS HIM!
@Stinkyman
The coat, the coat. I’m a petite 44 yr. old, and that could be me walking in the coat and lighter jeans. (Own similar, only fitted and tucked in boots. And def scarf, but mine is clean and styled and I need it to boost my ginger scary fair complexion.)
Think Depp werks it better…
I still love him. Don’t necessarily love the outfits but he’s still one of my favorites.
The first pic. His face is stunning.
Ever since he became the poster boy for mid-life crisis I lost that lovin feelin for him. He was much hotter when he was Vanessa’s man. Integrity and fidelity make a man a MAN.
So if your marriage/relationship doesn’t work out then you don’t have integrity and fidelity? There were 2 people in that relationship and as Vanessa said only they know why they broke up,and I’m sure both were at fault,just like every other marriage.
Johnny forever always
Johnny is getting a little too long in the tooth for this look.
It’s time that he cleans himself up.
I don’t like his clothes,and do wish he could clean up a little. But in the interview,he just comes off as a genuinely nice person,like every other time. I really don’t think he deserves the hatred he sometimes gets. He just seems like a regular,good guy.
So,yes,I do love him.
Pretty much-Ditto however he’s lost that young fresh tasty aspect for me. What can I say though.. I am 48 and my sexi smooth smart hubby is only 31. Johnny’s looking just a tad too haggard for me. I used to just look at him and want to jump his bones.. Now I think I could just gnaw on it a little bit.. then bury it.
Succeeding Kramer, Johnny Depp is the new hipster doofus. Have you ever seen anything so calculated and overdone? Less is more. Keith Richards is good. Copying Keith Richards is bad.
I believe he is trying to hide his weight under a lot of accessories n stuff. His face is ageless though. He is going through some sort of stage, wonder what he will dress like at 60 years of age.
Dang, I missed those sandals on him. Oh no he didn’t.
Three words: Mid Life Crisis.
Nobody puts that much effort into looking like they put no effort in = hipster wannabe.
Loved him as an actor though but it seems he has taken himself too seriously as of late.
I love him. He’s a human being, for God’s sake. And a very beautiful one – a face carved by angels!
His look: this is on purpose to get PR, which they’ve learned always does, esp when he’s orange, LOL!
The last year has been VERY HARD on him, I think, and he’s just starting to come back. Perhaps an illness, too?
I dont get it, why cant he dress as he likes? Ok, so the clothes are kind of weird together, and his hair is long, but he doesnt look dirty like you guys claim? I think he is a great actor and seeing his interviews I think he is funny as well. But the spark in his eyes are gone with the women who left him.
my wife likes him,but i think he tries to hard. the long hair is fine but hes needs to wash it. where are you all geting orange from? he doesnt look like that to me,he looks tan.
