Johnny Depp Tells 'Vanity Fair' That All His Characters Are Gay




Academy Award-nominated actor Johnny Depp says all his characters 
are gay in a new interview with Vanity Fair.
In the cover story for the January edition of the celebrated glossy, Depp
 talks to rocker Patti Smith, and reveals that his flamboyant portrayal 
of Captain Jack Sparrow in the blockbuster movie franchise the 
Pirates of the Caribbean made Disney executives nervous.
The studio “couldn't stand” his interpretation of the pirate and
 one executive boldly asked if the character was gay.
“All my characters are gay,” the 47-year-old Depp replied. 
He said
 his response “really made her nervous.”
While many of Depp's characters are theatrical – some would say over
-the-top – the actor has yet to take on a gay role. In The Libertine
Depp played an English bisexual poet.
Depp won the Screen Actors Guild's Best Actor award for playing
 Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of
 the Black Pearl.
Depp first gained fame as a teen idol on the Fox crime drama series
 21 Jump Street. He appears next opposite Angelina Jolie in The Tourist
which opens nationwide on December 10.
