Johnny Depp is hoooooooooooooooot.

Hot, hot, hot!

Johnny Depp will star as notorious 1930s gangster John Dillinger in Universal’s Public Enemies. Michael Mann will direct from his own script., based on Bryan Burrough’s 2004 book of the same name. The drama is set in 1933-34, when the government’s attempts to stop Depression-era criminals like John Dillilnger, Baby Face Nelson, and Pretty Boy Floyd transformed J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI into the country’s first federal police force. Shooting is scheduled to start in Chicago on March 10. Mann was considering several projects, including a reunion with Tom Cruise (Collateral) on Edwin A. Salt at Columbia. He ultimately went with Public Enemies when Depp became available after Warner Bros. postponed Shantaram over costs and writers’ strike concerns.

The actor, whose eight-year-old daughter Lily-Rose was hospitalised after reportedly contracting the E.coli bacterial infection earlier this year, insists nothing matters more to him than his family.

Johnny, who also has a five-year-old son Jack John with long-term partner Vanessa Paradis, said: “I wasn’t sure if I would be able to come back. My kids and my girl - nothing else matters in life. My kids are very grounded, not monster-like at all. We keep discipline under control.

“When I was younger I used to play a lot of practical jokes and I p****d my mother off. But the greatest advice I ever got was from her, ‘Don’t take s**t from anybody. Ever.’ And that has stuck with me and I hope my kids never, ever have to take s**t off anybody either.”

Johnny, who postponed filming new musical ‘Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street’ when Lily-Rose was ill, also revealed he was nervous about his singing scenes in the movie.

He is quoted as saying: “I think I was probably more frightened than anyone. I’ve never even tried karaoke. It scares the hell out of me. I’ve never been that drunk - and I’ve been drunk. I didn’t know if I could sing. I did these demos in my friend’s garage studio because I didn’t know if I could hit a note and to be honest I really didn’t. I tried to use Iggy Pop as my inspiration.  “Someone is probably weeping after watching my performance.”

Here is Johnny Depp at a London Sweeney Todd Press Conference.  I think Johnny is much better looking onscreen than in real life.  I dunno, his style is very unsexy (to me).

Johnny Depp has painted a portrait of his girlfriend, which has become the cover of her new album.

Depp has painted a portrait of the mother of his two children, French pop star Vanessa Paradis, for her upcoming album, Divine Idylle.

His rose- and gold-toned album cover isn’t the only family member’s contribution to Vanessa’s first pop record in seven years! Their 5-year-old son, Jack, sings a few lines in “Jackadi,” the last song on the album.

While Depp helped his wife out in her professional life by painting for her album, she has been said to have given him singing lessons so he can do his own vocals in the upcoming Sweeney Todd musical.
