Johnny Depp Says U.S. Is Like a 'Dumb Puppy' By REUTERS

Filed at 7:48 a.m. ET

BERLIN (Reuters) - Hollywood star Johnny Depp said on Wednesday the United States was a stupid, aggressive puppy and he would not live there until the political climate changed.

The 40-year-old actor, who stars in the ``Pirates of the Caribbean,'' told the German news magazine Stern he was happier staying in the south of France with his wife, the French actress and singer Vanessa Paradis, and their two children.

``America is dumb, it's like a dumb puppy that has big teeth that can bite and hurt you, aggressive,'' he said.

``My daughter is four, my boy is one. I'd like them to see America as a toy, a broken toy. Investigate it a little, check it out, get this feeling and then get out,'' said the star of the off-beat films ``Edward Scissorhands'' and ``Dead Man.''

Depp slammed George W. Bush's administration for its criticism of French opposition to the U.S.-led war in Iraq.

``I was ecstatic they re-named 'French Fries' as 'Freedom Fries'. Grown men and women in positions of power in the U.S. government showing themselves as idiots,'' he told Stern.

One of these days his vicious words will come back to haunt him. He'll be back and when he does I hope folks will smart up and dump the BASTARD!! I for one will boycott his movies and will relentlessly bug any establishment that hires him to do a movie! I heard Disney was considering making PofC part II. We need to Freep Disney if they intend to use him for the sequeal!!

Raised the IQ of both countries!

Thanks for calling my attention to that! :)

[dfwgator]

Damn, he survived the heat wave.

[GOPJ]

Depp left and the collective average IQ went up. Maybe he's trying to help?

"America is dumb, it's like a dumb puppy..."

Our group has added Johnny Depp to our boycott list...We invite those of you that feel he no longer deserves our $$ to join us...

Let's see... Clooney, now Depp. Two down and a bunch to go.

Did Clooney move out of the country as well? I hadn't heard that one. Depp has been living in France for a pretty good while now if I'm not mistaken.

Another influential high-school dropout is Peter Jennings. See a trend?

[americanbychoice]

DEPP= German slang for .........you guessed it: Idiot.
Maybe he has German roots and they aptly named his family generations ago?

[texasbluebell]

Awww...poor George, all alone at his villa in Italy. < /sniff >

George Clooney can't get a date in Italy

[y2k_free_radical]

SHUCKS-I liked him in PIRATES movie---BUT NOT ANYMORE

[Prodigal Son]

Yeah, but I mean did he move out of the country? That article just says he spends half the year there- which I probably would too if I owned a villa in Italy. Has Clooney moved out on a permanent basis recently? Depp left for France 5 years ago and has been living there since as far as I know.

[Prodigal Son]

Yeah, he was ok in that. Orlando Bloom was the one who was miscast in my opinion. I just couldn't get my mind around such a skinny little guy being a weapons/blacksmith.

I'm happier he is there, too.

MEMO TO I.R.S.

Audit his ass

[HungarianGypsy]

Do these idiot actors realize that in their ideal world of socialism they would have no career? As far as the common good, actors are useless.

[Prodigal Son]

Hard to do in France.

[weegee]

Wonder what he thinks of French and German efforts to purge english words from official documents. The French have even taken offense at "e-mail".

Johnny's digging a hole.

[wardaddy]

He is talented but he moved over there for the "tang".

I wish he would just shut up.

[texasbluebell]

Nope, George hasn't permanently left, that's true.

Sounds as if he won't either, since he can't get the girls there so easily!

Just another hypocritcal hollyweird leftie, denigrating the country, and by extension his audience, which has rewarded him so handsomely.

(beware of leftist immitations)

One day, while Bill Clinton is jogging, he sees a little boy looking into a cardboard box and says, "Hey kid, what's in the box ?"

The kid says, "My dog just had puppies".

Bill Clinton asks him what kind of dogs they are.

"These are Democrat puppies." answers the kid.

The next day Bill Clinton and Hillary Rodham are out walking and come upon the same kid. Bill Clinton with a big grin says, "Hey kid, tell my wife what kind of puppies you done got there."

The kid says, "Republican puppies."

Bill Clinton, a bit embarrassed and confused, says, "But kid, yesterday you told me that them there were Democrat puppies."

The kid says, "That's right. But last night, they opened their eyes."
