Sorry, can not join you. Depp is a fine actor, too bad you now throw aside all simply because he has chosen to live in france with his family in a place of solitude that he could not get in this country due to maniacal fans or simply because that is where he wishes to be.
Sure, france has emitted a lot of unsavory comment of late and needs to be chastizied.
But this is a simple individual you are now speaking of, not a whole country.
Talent is talent,
I love my country,
I would die for my country,
But to condemn Depp for moving to france and enjoying his life and fortune? Easy to find fault, easy to be hard.
Ah, how shallow you truly are.

This is the moron you idolize?

Birth name John Christopher Depp II -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nickname "Mr. Stench" Self-chosen -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Height 5' 10" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mini biography Johnny Depp's parents divorced when he was 15. "I don't even have a mental picture of the houses we lived in because there were so many," he told Cosmopolitan. "I was bored with high school, so I dropped out," he told the Los Angeles Times. "Puberty was very vague. I literally locked myself in a room and played guitar," he related to Cosmopolitan. He fell so much under the spell of Edward Scissorhands (1990) co-star Winona Ryder that they were engaged from 1990 to 1993. In 1994, he trashed a $1,200-a-night hotel room in New York City and was arrested on a criminal mischief charge. "I know that I have demons," he told Vanity Fair. "He's the kind of guy that would be really sweet to a girl and bring her flowers," says actress and buddy Traci Lords, "but still take a pee in the alley." According to People Magazine, Johnny regularly cuts his own arms to mark important events in his life. "I'm sounding like John Denver or something," he told Vanity Fair, "but I look forward to having a kind of peace of mind. I know that we all get there eventually."

France is a great place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there.

I don't grow vegatables either.

I see nothing unpatriotic about living in France and growing vegatables.

Even more:

Johnny's two children with Paradis, have the same names of the 2 main characters in "Legend" (1985) - Lily (b. 1999) and Jack (b.2002). His wife, Vanessa Paradis, is a popular singer/songwriter in her native country, France; as well as an aspiring actress.

This guy is clearly a looney-tune.

But to condemn Depp for moving to france and enjoying his life and fortune?

I condemn Depp for moving to France and enjoying his life and fortune. He finds that America has problems, but instead of staying and fighting the good fight, he flees like a terrified little girl, a routed rabbit. His is a life of surrender and fear, and he has not a whit of courage or backbone to fight for what he believes in. He is a quitter and a coward.

Fitting, then, that he moves to France.

What a horrible little man he is.

how shallow I am? I merely point out to others the comments that come from this man's mouth. Why should Americans support him? He does not support America.

Depp Article:

Johnny Depp, "not convinced" by Bush rationale!

A product of the rural South, Actor Johnny Depp has spent many years in Hollywood but never really felt at home until he moved to France where he and his family spend the majority of their time.

When asked the actor rejects the view that there has been a surge of anti-Americanism there because of opposition to the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, and he believes the French people have behaved in a dignified manner while some Americans resorted to "schoolyard tactics" renaming French fries "freedom fries."

"That was so revealing, that grown men sat around and came up with that idea," he says of the freedom fries initiative. "It was tragic and embarrassing. At the same time, I was happy it was exposed, and people knew that a bunch of congressmen -- big people, the upper-drawer people -- made that decision."

Not convinced by the Bush administration's rationale for the Iraq Invasion Depp says the real reason was America's economic interests. "I saw these American kids being shipped off to war, and I was looking at their faces and thinking, 'They're not ready for it,' " he says. "Is anybody ever ready for it? You're thinking about where they're going, what they're getting into. What's it really all about? It's about dough; it's about money. That's ugly."
