Depp practices Brian Wilson's thousand-yard stare
Ooh arrrgh, John lad: Johnny Depp's revived career is going from strength to strength in the wake of last year's surprise timber-shivering success, Pirates Of The Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl.
Hollywood's most geometric cheekbones is banking on a further critical thumbs-up for the film Secret Window. And early signs are encouraging.
The movie is garnering good reviews as it is rolled out to US cinema-goers, with the actor himself speaking warmly of the flick, based on a Stephen King thriller, to reporters from Ireland's Breaking News website.
Depp plays reclusive writer Mort Rainey, who lives beside a remote lake and unravels the fact his wife's been playing away from home.
"I liked the reclusive quality of this guy," explained Depp. "(He) probably didn’t look in the mirror very much ever – he never realised he had the bedhead all the time."
"I’ve always admired writers. Anyone who could bring their thoughts and emotions out onto a page and be able to allow the masses, the people to read it and be OK with that."
In honing that reclusive nature for the film, Depp told the New York Post he based the Rainey character on Brian Wilson, the shuffling, stupefied genius of Beach Boys legend.
First Keef for Jack Sparrow and now another rock legend.
Wonder who Johnny's going to base his part of Willy Wonka on in Charlie And The Chocolate Factory? Timmy Mallett?
