Talk:Johnny Depp

Benny and Joon

Johnny Depp starred in Benny and Joon in 1993 playing the role of Sam, a mildly dysfunctional young man who models himself after Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin.

Yes, it's listed at Johnny Depp filmography. Rivertorch (talk) 06:04, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Movie unlisted

Why is there no mention of Johnny's portrayal in What's Eating Gilbert Grape?

Comanche Adoption

Wikipedia supposedly an unbiased information source, but this section is just full of it. Tracing African and Native American ancestry is very hard because they were either kept as property or hunted down like animals. If you know US history, it was better to be called full white than say you are part Indian and be classified as 2nd class citizen. Nowadays society allows more freedom to express your heritage, but it is sad to see unjustified citations, biased writing, and unfounded references just because Depp claims to be part Indian. If he is proud of it and shows his Indian heritage tattoos and helps promote Native American ideology then he is Indian by spirit, if you know the concept of spirit and heart as the Native Indians do then Depp is definitely part Indian. The one who spreads peace and knowledge of his own culture/tribe is a true brother to the land and his people, while the ones who shuns him for his actions/intentions is no better than the people whom annihilated his ancestors. The new movie Depp/Tonto are equals with the Lone Ranger, unlike old movies and shows Tonto was taking orders from the Lone Ranger and portrayed as inferior to the white man. Also it is not like he is claiming to be royalty or from an extravagant bloodline, so why all this hate? I still feel it is very biased, but at least I removed that unfounded source stating that Native Americans Indians think Depp is ignorant and insensitive, it was not even in the stated source. Blatant biased comment hidden with a reference. Neoking (talk) 02:16, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

Yes I agree. The whole section's citations from E-online and Entertainment Weekly are gossip sources at best. The slant is a pre-viewing of the film slant, so perhaps more sources can be found now that show that Depp's portrayal was not detrimental to Native American values. Having seen the film, and thinking the same thing about the bird, it all made sense after watching the movie. When the lone ranger visited the tribe, they explained Tonto's mental illness, and then everything made sense. To get back on point, if anything the sources up to this point have quoted Depp as saying his Grand Grandmother was part Indian, so in good faith this should be accepted, Wikipedia should not be a place for gossip, especially if it goes against what the sources are actually reporting.

The "gossip" is his "guess" at having ancestry. These things are not vague or mysterious to people in the communities in question. There are traditional ways of dealing with these claims. Who is Native is up to the tribe the person claims; the question is whether the tribe claims them. As sourced in the article, professional genealogists from all the tribes he has variously claimed have checked, and he has no Native ancestry. What he has is some African-American ancestry. The tribes he claimed are more documented than non-Natives of the same period. They kept excellent records and still keep them. It is very common for "white" people with Black heritage to claim Native instead; he may well have been told this by his family, but they were misinformed. And the adoption only makes him Ms. Harris's relative; it does not make him Native or a member of that tribe. - Slàn, Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦♫ 20:08, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Legal Issues

Why has the hotel room incident(1994) been omitted, and the concert incident(2012) which has completely vague details at this moment been added? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.244.197.109 (talk) 07:52, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Amber Heard

Yes, Depp and Heard are dating. There are plenty of sources to confirm it. I've added 5, and there is plenty more. It doesn't matter if Depp or Heard have confirmed it or not, as long as plenty of 'sources confirm it. That's how Wikipedia works. Now, if they denied it, that could be an issue, but they haven't, so, in it goes... - thewolfchild 23:23, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Rumor

Isn't it premature to include Johnny Depp's rumored engagement to Amber Heard on his Wikipedia page? The way it's mentioned, "engaged on Christmas eve", it reads like official announcement. This way, several more rumors could be on this page too!
