Funny Picture: Is Johnny Depp playing the Mad Hatter...or Madonna? (with startling evidence)


Well, ya can't argue with that, can ya?

Disney's "Alice in Wonderland" is almost upon us, promising the same sort of gee-whiz Tim Burton visuals that you decided whether you're into or not a long time ago.  This guy checked out around the time that "Planet of The Apes" happened.  Seriously: Mark Wahlberg?  That ending?  Kind of a beating to sit through, Tim.  Whatever happened to the Tim Burton that made "Beetlejuice" and "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure"?  Eh, anyway, the above picture points out a startling similarity between Johnny Depp's appearance as the Mad Hatter in Burton's upcoming film and pop superstar Madonna.  The resemblance is striking, no?

Thanks to Comedy Examiner readers "Mike R." and "Cheryl S." who sent this one in.  I had a good laugh over this one while debating whether or not I was gonna go and see "Alice" when it opens in a few weeks.  Something about Helena Bonham Carter with that enormous skull is just turning me off from the whole thing, and now I've gotta worry about picturing Johnny Depp breaking into "Lucky Star" through the whole damn movie.  Think I'll wait for BluRay on this one.

    hahaha, nice.
    Although, I feel "Mad Hatter' looks an awful lot more like Elijah Wood myself.

  • Lisette 2 years ago

    Hey Curt... I thought the same thing.

  • Patrick 2 years ago

  • H 2 years ago

    Maybe Elijah is Madonna's long lost love child. They are almost twins.

  • Jim 2 years ago

    You come across as an arrogant artsy douche.

  • James 2 years ago

    I've been saying the same thing since the teaser posters were released.

  • Jill 2 years ago

    Looks like the same Tim Burton who brought us the Nightmare Before Christmas. I can't wait! And - do you really think that Beetlejuice was all nice-nice?

  • rick 2 years ago

    It's Johnny Depp. If you look at the top of their heads, around the forehead area, you'll notice that Madonna's forehead is slightly wider than the Mad Hatter's. You can't do that with make-up.
