There’s no other actor that the British love more than Johnny Depp, shows a new poll.

The actor topped a survey of 3,000 people aged seven-years-old and over by the Cinema Advertising Association (CAA), a trade association of cinema advertising sales contractors operating in the UK.

In fact, Depp is so popular among the Brits, that he took the majority of the votes across all ages and genders.

Depp beat the likes of 007 Daniel Craig, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Sir Sean Connery and Orlando Bloom to take the top spot, reports the Daily Express.

CAA spokeswoman Anna Cremin said that it was the actor’s versatility that appealed to audiences the most.

“Depp has such a wide appeal demonstrated by moving from serious films like Donnie Brasco to blockbusters and comedies. Few other actors have managed to be so versatile,” she told the paper. (ANI)

As some of you know, I’m owner of a Winona Ryder website. Last night I was looking for some videos, and found one, unknown date, with a few minutes of an interview about AIDS. Johnny don’t talk a word in this video (and also the video quality is really poor), that’s why I haven’t uploaded it here, but added caps to the gallery. If you’re interested in download the video, go here.

IESB.net has learned, via an interview with director Peter Segal, that the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and “Corpse Bride” team of Tim Burton, John August and Johnny Depp are reuniting for Dark Shadows.

Burton will reportedly direct the Warner Bros. feature based on the ’60s supernatural TV show from a script by August. Johnny Depp’s Infinitum-Nihil and GK Films are producing and Depp has had interest in playing Barnabas Collins, the vampire patriarch of the series, but that hasn’t been confirmed.

Over 1,225 episodes, “Dark Shadows” was a highly atmospheric, spooky soap that featured gothic horror staples like vampires, monsters, witches, werewolves, ghosts and zombies.

I’ve added some HQ pictures from the last night MTV Awards, including backstage ones. Keep checking, because there’s more to come.

Here you can check, at YouTube, both videos from best comedy performance and best villain.

And about his new tatoo (thanks to the guys at our previous comments), It’s a quote from the James Joyce‘s book “A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man“. At five pages of the end of the book, we can find this quote, from the main character Stephen:

I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use – silence, exile, and cunning.

Johnny Depp took best comedic performance honors for his turn as Captain Jack in Pirates of the Caribbean and won best villain for Sweeney Todd.

I’ve started adding new pictures, with more to come:

Oh, I forgot to say: Johnny got a new tatoo. But I still can’t figure it out though. Anyone?
