Happiness finds Johnny Depp
By Claudia Puig, USA TODAY
He watches hours of cartoons with his children, has taken up running and is working on his French to better communicate with his companion's parents.

With his fine-boned good looks, longish dark hair and slightly boho demeanor, he could still pass for 25, but Johnny Depp is 40. And his days of drugs, drink and trashing hotel rooms are a thing of the past.
Now, he sports three colorful bracelets made by his 5-year-old daughter Lily-Rose. He seems settled, content and, well, grown up.
"I just kind of stumbled around for 35 years," Depp says. "And then when my daughter arrived, it was like 'Now, I see.' Suddenly everything else is just kind of shavings, morsels, little tidbits. And this is what it's all about. This is real life. Boy, it couldn't have come at a better time."
His new movie, Secret Window, opens Friday, capping a pretty great time indeed for Depp. He's happily settled down with Vanessa Paradis, a French pop singer, and their children, Lily-Rose and Jack, 23 months. He divides his time between homes in France and Los Angeles. He won a Screen Actors Guild award last month for his staggering, swaggering buccaneer in Pirates of the Caribbean. Though he lost the Oscar to Sean Penn, there was a sense that Depp had come awfully close, based on the fact that the onetime bad boy who's still taking chances is now one of Hollywood's most respected actors.
His performance as the irresistibly silly swashbuckler Capt. Jack Sparrow was the major reason for the success of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean, which made $305 million.
"You put a genius in the middle of a pirate movie and it becomes effervescent," says Gary Ross, who directed another summer hit, Seabiscuit. " It would have made $100 million without Johnny Depp."
Depp will revisit Captain Jack for the Pirates sequel, due in theaters in 2005.
He fused the cartoon Pepe Le Pew with the Rolling Stones' Keith Richards to fashion the slightly mincing, charismatic Captain Jack.
"What I hoped was to create a character that could be as fun and as interesting to a 5-year-old as it could be to the most jaded, hoity-toity intellectual," he says.
Richards had no idea he was being studied by his friend until just before the movie was released
He sent me a message to cover his (behind)," Richards says. "I've known Johnny for a couple of years, and he'd always pay for dinner. Now I realize that was his way of paying me for modeling."
Depp's voice is soft and smoky. As he talks he casually sweeps up his bangs and puts his hair in a ponytail in one smooth move. He asks permission to smoke.
"I cut down, I'll have you know," he says. "I cut down drastically. After all these years, I've finally figured it out. It's really pointless."
He has stumbled on a new way to relieve stress: Running.
"I started working with this guy I had trained with when I did Donnie Brasco. He said every human being should be able to run for 30 minutes. In any emergency, you should be able to pick up your kid and run, as fast you can, for a good length of time. And it just made sense to me."
As his life has grown calmer and more conventional, he still finds an outlet for outlandish behavior in his work. This week he began filming The Libertine, in which he plays a debauched, brilliant poet, John Wilmot, in a Restoration drama co-starring John Malkovich and fellow Oscar nominee Samantha Morton (In America). In June he takes on the seminal role of Willy Wonka in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, teaming with Tim Burton for the fourth time. Later this year, he'll play Peter Pan author J.M. Barrie in Neverland.
In Secret Window, a psychological thriller based on a Stephen King story, Depp plays a blocked novelist.
"I'd never done a film like this. I read David Koepp's screenplay, and it really kept me on the edge of my seat," he says. "Also, it's nice to go from one extreme like Captain Jack, where the volume's kind of on 11, as it were, then go to something very subdued and internal."
Though it has been only a few months since Depp's last starring role in Once Upon a Time in Mexico, audiences can't seem to get enough of him.
"He's in this zone that every now an then an actor hits, where the audience completely identifies with him," says Koepp, who also directed Secret Window. "We saw it at the test screening. With the first shot of the movie, a close-up of Johnny in a car, the audience burst into applause."
Koepp admires Depp's edgy portrayals and the actor's integrity.
"He's made choices that sort of float his boat and that's what people respect about him," Koepp says. "He's never seemed to pursue stardom."
Depp was shooting Secret Window when Pirates opened, and Koepp said Depp was "bemused" by the surge of attention.
"To have a performance acknowledged on this scale is something I'm not used to," Depp concedes. "Sometimes five people see my movies, sometimes 20. It feels a little strange because I really didn't do anything different than I've ever done."
Depp says the Oscar nomination was a great honor but beside the point.
He's a big reader and recently spent time skulking in British libraries doing research for his Libertine role.
"More than anything, I love being with my family," he says. "I'm like a total homebody, just hanging out with my kids."
Depp's comments to GQ about drugs and children provoked some outrage. Depp sets the record straight: "The journalist asked me, 'What about when your kids get to the age where they want to experiment with drugs?' All I was saying was I pray that they don't. Who wants their kids on drugs? All I was trying to say was that if it gets to that point, if they're going to do it, I don't want them going out on the street and getting something illegally that could put them in trouble and could kill them, because it could be laced with something.
"And all I was talking about specifically was marijuana. Rather than have them go out on the street and get some nasty, potentially fatal stuff, I would rather say, 'Look, this is marijuana. I know where it came from. And if you really need to try it, try it here in the house and be safe.' They immediately misconstrued it, like I was prepared to go out and score all kinds of drugs for my kids. It was just ludicrous."
As ludicrous as denying Depp's heartthrob appeal. Pirates brought him a new legion of fans — mostly young and female — typified by 13-year-old Oscar nominee and Whale Rider star Keisha Castle-Hughes, who said Depp was the one person she wanted to meet at the Oscars.
For Secret Window, Depp insisted on looking disheveled, as a writer deserted by both his wife and his inspiration.
When he spotted a torn, frayed bathrobe in an early costume fitting, "he lunged across the room and said 'This is it,' " Koepp says. "He wanted to wear it for the whole movie."
With the robe, nerdy spectacles and a severe case of bed head, Depp pulls off a witty performance.
"You can rumple him, but you can't make him unattractive," Koepp says. "You can try, but it won't happen."
I e-mailed disney about auditions too and they just said "thank you for e-mailing us about pirates of the caribbean II. If you want more information mail us at blah blah blah or call us at blah blah blah" so they don't know anything. that just proves that they don't know anything or they would've said it in the e-mail.
lol. i thot it was very interesting. i didnt kno he smoked and did drugs an stuff. that's interesting. i dont kno anything about actors really. its not that i dont care. i kinda do, but i also dont wanna like pry into ppl's lives. i dunno. i liked that, like it was prolly all stuff that he didn't mind ppl knowing, but i hate when ppl start making up all sortsa crap about celebrities. i mean, they have a right to privacy. if they wanna share it, great, read it, but if they dont, then stay out. i dunno. thats just my philosophy.
