Johnny Depp is hoping to play the king of pop Michael Jackson in a movie about the troubled singer’s life. The “Sweeney Todd” star was rumored to have modeled himself off of Jackson for his role as Willy Wonka in the 2005 movie ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.’

But Depp believes any similarities to the superstar in his portrayal are purely coincidental, he has said, “ A few people have mentioned it, and it kind of took me by surprise. I really didn’t expect that, Michael Jackson was not a sort of ingredient or inspiration for the character at all.”
But he says he would love to take on the special role of playing Jackson in a movie about his life insisting, “ There is still time to play him. He might get up to his old tricks again and maybe there will be a TV movie about him!”
Boy, he sure is into the weird roles! He’s also rumored to be considering taking on the role of Pee Wee in the new Pee-Wee’s Playhouse: The Movie.
Johnny Depp To Play Michael Jackson?

Robert DeNiro gained 50 pounds for Raging Bull. Is Johnny gonna get his nose removed, for the sake of authenticity??

I'd love to see him play Pee Wee. I used to love Pee Wee's Playhouse and still love Pee Wee's Big Adventure.

Ohhh, I have fond memories of Pee Wee's Playhouse! I didn't like Laurance Fishburne even then.
Why would anyone want to see a movie about Michael Jackson and wasn't there a made for TV movie about him already? We know all about his journey from a musically gifted black child to a white woman with a penchant for hanging out with little boys? Why watch a film about it?

Johnny needs to take a bath in bleach, hack up his face, and wear a weave made from pet rat hair before he can even think about playing MJ.

Don't give him ideas, he might actually do it
anyway PeeWee sure (though...why? we still have the real one, right? Paul didn't die and I missed it..)
Michael Jackson--eurgh, please, NO! I love Johnny but the Willy Wonka thing was bad enough. I was shocked, I've NEVER disliked him in anything before.
