Johnny Depp Joins The List Of Public Enemies

Johnny Depp, the versatile Hollywood actor who played the unforgettable and endearing character of Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Carribean series is set to immortalize another roguish character in the upcoming feature film, “Public Enemies” with Channing Tatum and Christian Bale.

In the crime/drama movie, he will be John Dillinger – a notorious American gangster who was always in pursuit of the Federal agents, along with his friends Baby Face Nelson and Pretty Boy Floyd. The movie will be set in the booming crime wave of the 1930's.

But this bad boy aura that Johnny Depp plays in the movie opposes his character on the real scene. While filming for Public Enemies in Oskosh, Wisconsin, he reportedly left a $1500 tip for the waitress after enjoying his dinner with friends. Not long ago, he also recorded a voice message for a young fan who was in a coma. Johnny Depp was even identified as one of the nicest celebrities to his fans, often taking the time to sign autographs.

Meantime, the local filming of Public Enemies has been postponed for at least a week.

The cast and crew of Public Enemies was set to be in Beaver Dam at The Rogers on Monday morning and James Street in Columbus on Monday afternoon. Public Enemies location scout Adam Boor said the local shots were pushed back due to some of the actors’ schedules.
