Johnny Depp Vows Never To Make A Romantic Comedy - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 04-17-2008, 06:29 PM

Johnny Depp has vowed never to star in a romantic comedy because he considers the genre "boring." The 44-year-old shot to fame in the 1991 fantasy epic Edward Scissorhands and has since made his name by taking on a variety of quirky film roles - including turns in Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and most recently in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

And Depp insists he will never be drawn to roles in light-hearted films - no matter how much money he is offered.

He says, "There is a dark side in me, like in each one of us. I only feel the fun factor when turning to a dark role, like in my most recent film 'Sweeney Todd.' I wouldn't want to be in a romantic film, where it's about the boy meeting the girl, losing the girl, and getting her back. That would really bore me to death."

But I would walk five hundred miles,
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man
Who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door

Yes but that was more of a quirky romantic movie, not your typical one.

That is correct

Edward Scissorhands was a bit of one

It could be just a case of Depp refusing to be in any movie where he doesn't get to wear eyeliner. In a good romantic comedy, if anyone wears eyeliner, it's usually the woman , not the guy.

Again, not exactly your typical romantic film, but it is classed as one.

I agree. I think the genre wouldn't be so stereotyped as boring if the writers would step outside the box a bit, and make it original like that one. Not Johnny related, but I also really enjoyed P.S. I Love You for the same reason. It wasn't your typical, overly predictable romantic comedy. l didn't think it was amazing by any means, but I definitely thought it was well above average.

I couldn't see him doing a straightforward romantic movie anyway. He's made such a name for himself doing oddball roles that I don't think it would work. (Just my 2 cents!!)
