Johnny Depp is quoted as saying on BANG Showbiz: "It was magical to be able to literally walk in the same steps that he took. You could almost feel him. I did feel him, not to be spooky or anything, but there were moments when I felt his presence. There were moments when I felt a certain level of approval from the guy. Read more

 John Dillinger, who took on the banks and became a press darling the early 30's, was born June 22, 1903, his Sun, Mercury and Pluto are in Gemini. Johnny Depp is also a Solar Gemini. This is a bit eerie, considering the above quote, as Dillinger and Depp do have some interesting astrological connections. One is, Dillinger's Pluto in Gemini is conjunct Depp's Sun. In astrological synastry this can reveal a deep level of bond between two individuals. So was Johnny Depp visited by the spirit of Dillinger as his new movie was being filmed? Could be?

Also, isn't it strange and synchronistic that “Public Enemies" is being released at a time when people think about banks much as they did during the Depression and are likely cheer a bank robber, as they cheered Dillinger back then?

Regardless of how mysterious all of this is, Dillinger was good-looking, sexy and charismatic and seems a role Johnny Depp was destined to play.

The gorgeous, charismatic and eccentric bad-boy, Johnny Depp

Serious, some what dark and idiosyncratic, Johnny Depp, was born 6/09/1963, in Owensboro, KY, at 8:44 AM CST. With the Sun in Gemini he is a clever, intelligent and versital spirit with more lightness and humor that is first apparent. His Moon in Capricorn gives him more depth and seriousness than is usual for a solar Gemini, but, the key astrological factor in Johnny Depp's dark, charismatic, sexy, bad boy image is the conjunction of Mars, Pluto, and Uranus. This combination of planets can be explosive.

Born when Mars, Pluto and Uranus were conjunct in Virgo, Depp is one of a relatively small group of individuals living today who have this configuration (these individuals were born during several brief time spans between 1961 and 1968). They are individualists, very difficult to control and aggressive in pursuing all that is different and out of the ordinary. On the one hand they have the capacity for total self-transformation but on the other the capacity to be self-destructive, and have likely experienced both in their lives.

Though an aggressive and self-destructive bad boy in his teens and early 20's, Depp seems to have learned to live this unique configuration out primarily through the roles he plays. His films are almost universally dark and violent, and clearly he has the ability to completely transform himself into some very out of the ordinary, dark, eccentric and but always sexy characters.

Astrologer Danna Cunningham says of a Mars Pluto conjunction: “Many of the people born with this conjunction have an air of the swashbuckling pirate, with a little half-smile that says, “I dare you to stop me.” In the movies, at least, who doesn’t love a pirate? Johnny Depp, who has a Mars-Uranus-Pluto conjunction in Virgo, played a convincing pirate captain in his Pirates of the Caribbean movies.” Read more

You have to admit Jack Sparrow is Johnney Depp's most loved and bizarre character. In Sparrow, Johnny was able to not only be the dark and eccentric outsider (Mars, Pluto, Uranus) but also display his versatility and humor (Sun Gemini). Depp's flamboyant characterization, partially inspired by Keith Richards and Pepe Le Pew, turned Sparrow into an iconic and much loved anti-hero and at the same time turned Johnny Depp into one of the world's favorite actors. 

“That little film Pirates Of The Caribbean came around and I thought it would be fun to play a pirate for my kiddies. I created the character as I did with the previous characters, nearly got fired, and thank God they didn’t because it sort of changed my life.” Johnny Depp at WalesOnline.com Read more

Depp won an Oscar nomination in 2003 for his role as Jack Sparrow in Pirates Of The Caribbean, from then on his career has taken off and Johnny Depp can do no wrong.
