The different faces of Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp is an actor from Kentucky, USA. His home is now
in Los Angeles, USA, after many years of living in France.
He is nice, slim, but not very tall (1.78 m). His eyes and his hair are dark
brown. But Johnny can change his appearance in films.
In Pirates of the Caribbean, Johnny is Jack Sparrow and has got
very long, dirty brown hair. He is very brave and clever. He wears a
white shirt and a black jacket.
In Edward Scissorhands, he plays Edward and has got a white
face (unlike Johnny’s tan face), brown eyes, long, dirty, black hair
and he can cut lots of things with his fingers (but he can’t pick things
up very well!). He is very nervous, and not brave at all, and is not
friendly to people.
In Alice in Wonderland, Johnny is The Mad Hatter. He hasn’t got
brown eyes or brown hair, but he has got green eyes and bright
orange hair. He is not American like Johnny, but Scottish. The Mad
Hatter is not serious, he’s funny!
So Johnny has got a lot of experience of changing his appearance and
personality!
