Johnny
Depp Wants to Play Michael Jackson
1/18/08
Hollywood actor Johnny Depp is hoping to play troubled pop star Michael
Jackson in a movie of the singer's life.
The Sweeney Todd star was rumored to have modeled himself on Jackson
for his role as Willy Wonka in 2005 movie Charlie and the Chocolate
Factory.
But although Depp believes any similarities to the pop superstar in his
portrayal are purely coincidental, he would love to take on the role of
the Thriller hit maker, insisting, "There is still time to play
him."
