He&#8217;s just got this legendary kind of fame, and he also happens to be an incredibly attractive man.<\/p>\n<p>He is probably one of the most beautiful men in the world, and he&#8217;s only gotten better with age. I look at his &#8220;21 Jump Street&#8221; day photos and he&#8217;s a pretty boy, but he grew up into a beautiful man.\u00a0 And on top of that he&#8217;s an excellent actor and always seems charming.<\/p>\n<p>There are just some movies that are made better just by having a particular actor or actress in it. Johnny Depp makes every movie he&#8217;s in better. <em>That&#8217;s being a star<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve been thinking about: Being a star. Being incredibly famous.

In it, Idlewile is Johnny Depp, Rain, Big Bang level famous. First from his boy band days, then now as a soloist. It has really made me think about fame and what it would be like to deal with being so famous that literally EVERYONE in the world knows your name and what you look like.<\/p>\n<p>Which brings me back to Johnny Depp.<\/p>\n<p>He has always kept it classy, or if there&#8217;s been any slips he has a good PR sense. Some people have questioned his fashion, but I think it ties in to his need for some semblance of privacy. Those hats and glasses and even the flashy things he likes to wear &#8211; they draw the eye and that&#8217;s all anyone sees: Johnny Depp wearing eyeliner or channeling Jack Sparrow.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone needs a place to hide sometimes. Even if that &#8220;place&#8221; happens to just be the mask you wear in public.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Johnny Depp is the kind of famous where he could stop acting in movies, have lost all his money, and could be residing in a dumpster &#8211; and people would still recognize his name and face.
