Johnny Depp: Getting to know Jolie was 'pleasant'Spending months in Venice with Angelina Jolie may sound like a dream come true to most men, but Johnny Depp admits that he had his reservations. “Meeting her and getting to know her was a real pleasant surprise,” he tells December's Vanity Fair about his co-star in the upcoming spy thriller "The Tourist," due in theaters December 10. Read more of Johnny Depp's Vanity Fair interview "You don’t know what she might be like - if she has any sense of humor at all. I was so pleased to find that she is incredibly normal, and has a wonderfully kind of dark, perverse sense of humor.”
Not unlike movie legend pal Elizabeth Taylor, whom Depp, 47, says Jolie, 35, matches in both beauty and boldness. “You know, you sit down with her, she slings hash, she sits there and cusses like a sailor, and she’s hilarious," he says of 78-year-old Taylor. "Angie’s got the same kind of thing, you know, the same approach.” Photo flashback: Johnny Depp in Vanity Fair Despite his affection for Jolie - who is rumored to be making a movie about Cleopatra, a role Taylor famously tackled in 1963 - the duo kept their distance while filming "The Tourist." Depp, who has two children with partner Vanessa Paradis, tells Vanity Fair he didn't want to give the press any reason to link him with the mom of six. As a result, the co-stars – whose new film follows the adventures of an American man who falls for a mystery woman while on vacation in Europe - found themselves "having to hide, sometimes not even being able to talk to each other in public," he says, "because someone will take a photograph and it will be misconstrued and turned into some other [expletive]."  |

I think he borrowed her eye make up.
Depp's too smart to get involved with Angelina. Plus, I saw a preview of this movie and there is ZERO chemistry between them.
Depp is not only a brilliant actor, he's handled fame and fortune with style and panache. My hat's off to you Mr. Depp.
Glad he didn't enjoy getting to know her as much as Brad did...

THE WISDOM OF THE LOYAL ONE IS "TIME"
JOLIE CAN'T ALWAYS BABYSIT PITT.
PITT CRASHES UNDER STRESS.
@AC360 HABIT & TIME AND WISDOM
Johnny Depp is soooo hottt
uh oh....sky didn't take their meds again...
@Realy?, SOUNDS MORE LIKE ENTRAPMENT....LISTEN, PITT DID NOT FALL IN LOVE, IT WAS
LUST, AND JOLIE SET HER SIGHTS ON THIS WEAK MAN WHO COULD NOT SAY "NO".
WHY? BECAUSE SHE WANTED WHAT ANISTON HAD...
PITT LOOKS CONFUSED AND CRAZY WITH THIS WOMEN.....AND HER AGENDA
WHICH IS COMMING TO A END.....
And you know this how?
Oh puhleeze!! You sure are reading alot into absolutely nothing.....GET REAL!
Is this still an issue or even on peoples minds? Give it a rest already! Pitt fell in the love with his someone more his equal. Someone who wanted to make a difference in this world, as in, feeding the poor and housing the homeless, etc. Unlike, boring, pot-head Aniston who likes all the Hollywood attention and gets paid to be the same dull, person she is in all her bombs (i mean movies) lol!
Not to mention that Brad Pitt would kick Depp's ass.
just because he was in fight club does not a badass make. Brad pitt is a lame duck compared to Johnny depp!
IT CAN BE DONE, YOU CAN BE LOYAL....
TO LOVE SOMEONE AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF
AND TO TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WANT THEM TO TREAT YOU!
I'm sure Depp's wife told him to keep his distance when they're not filming. Wow, Angie...you got the hollywood wives feeling insecure. I wonder why???
Depp is not married. Also, if you saw his girlfriend, you wouldn't say that. She's just as attractive as Jolie. And she's French.....you know what they say about the French....
hmm..a 78 year old cursing like a sailor..i am sure that just makes her incredible easy to deal with..
Nothing wrong with Depp wanting to keep his distance from her. We don't want another Pitt, whom leaves his partner for her. Plus, I think he deserves to be praised that he respects his partner enough to not want to stir negative rumors that will hurt his family.
So true...and Johnny is a true gentleman. I love it that he protects his own. I also like his comments on comparing Jolie with Taylor....They (both women) are quite capable of speaking their minds and don't feel the need to 'kowtow' to the public..They are, who they are..'Real people'...I can see why Johnny appreciates that quality, because, he has that quality too!
Man, he really has become Jack Sparrow...
