1. HIS GOOD LOOKS
Those high cheekbones, those soulful brown eyes – it's no wonder why Johnny Depp's Pirates of the Caribbean costar Keira Knightley calls him "eye candy." But the chiseled actor (in the Bahamas in February) doesn't get the fuss about his own allure. "I have no idea," he says.
2. HIS DEVOTION TO HIS KIDS
Becoming a father to Lily-Rose, 7, and Jack, 4 (with ladylove Vanessa Paradis), "has given me great strength, great perspective, great calm," says Depp. At home at their $2 million villa in Plan-de-la-Tour, France, a favorite activity is heading with his "kiddies" to "the trampoline and the swing set, and we'll stop by the garden and see how our tomatoes are doing," he told Newsweek
3. HIS TATTOOS
Depp has been getting inked since the early '80s and has more than 12 tattoos mapped out over his body. "I jot down experiences that mean something to me – jot them down permanently," he told The New York Times. They include his son's name scripted on his right forearm and daughter Lily-Rose's above his heart, and a Native American profile on his right bicep paying homage to his Cherokee heritage.
4. HIS GRATEFULNESS
He doesn't take stardom for granted. "Johnny has been through the sausage machine of Hollywood and come out the other side still standing," says Pirates costar Orlando Bloom. In fact, Depp (in L.A. in 2005) tops Autograph Collector magazine's list of the most generous celebs. "He's even signed autographs for crowds at the airport while carrying luggage," says editor Steve Cyrkin
5. HIS RETRO STYLE
1940s-era suits, vintage fedoras and well-worn shoes are classic Johnny, but Depp doesn't consider himself a sharp-dressed man. "I was 3 years old and my mom and dad dressed me up as a hobo for Halloween. The only difference between now and then is that then they drew more beard on me than I can actually grow," he says
6. HIS SENSE OF HUMOR
Getting slimed from head to toe at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards in 2005 was "a lot of fun," says Depp. And the actor has earned a rep as a prankster: He planted whoopee cushions on the chairs of his Finding Neverland costars and gave Leonardo DiCaprio "disgusting things to smell" on the set of What's Eating Gilbert Grape, says director Lasse Hallstrom
7. HIS ECLECTIC FRIENDS
Depp "gravitates to outsiders," says filmmaker pal Jim Jarmusch, and his chosen company shows it. Depp has counted among his friends Marilyn Manson (left) and the late gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson, whom he played in '98's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. After the writer's 2005 death, he even footed the bill for a lavish sendoff at Thompson's Woody Creek, Colo., ranch.
8. HIS SENTIMENTALITY
"I always have on my little trinkets," says Depp of his assemblage of accessories, including a plastic necklace made by daughter Lily-Rose, a medallion bearing her name, and a leather cuff modeled after the one he wore in 1986's Platoon. "He has little superstitions, and things that are comforting to him become his friends," says pal Jarmusch.
9. HIS CHAMELEON WAYS
The Oscar nominee has made an art of disappearing into his roles – among them, (clockwise from left) Captain Jack Sparrow (Pirates), Willy Wonka (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), a Cuban transvestite (Before Night Falls) and Hunter S. Thompson (Fear and Loathing). "With all of my characters, it's just depressing to leave them," Depp told Rolling Stone recently.
10. HIS LOVE FOR HIS LADY
"I just knew, you know, it's over with," he told Oprah Winfrey of meeting French pop singer Vanessa Paradis in Paris in 1998. Since then the couple (in January) – who've never married – have been inseparable. "Our story is love and friendship united," she wrote in a tribute to Depp in French Elle. "I have the impression that no one could love the way we love."
