Actor Johnny Depp Disavows Anti-American Quotes
Thu Sep 4, 8:42 PM ET
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Denying any anti-American sentiment on his part, actor Johnny Depp (news) said on Thursday that quotes attributed to him as likening the United States to a "dumb puppy" were inaccurate and taken out of context.
"I am an American. I love my country and have great hopes for it," Depp said in a statement released by his Los Angeles-based publicist. "It is for this reason that I speak candidly and sometimes critically about it. I have benefited greatly from the freedom that exists in my country and for this I am eternally grateful."
Depp, currently starring in the swashbuckling film "Pirates of the Caribbean," issued the statement a day after the German news magazine Stern published an interview in which he ridiculed Washington's confrontation with France, where he lives, over the U.S. war in Iraq (news - web sites).
The magazine quoted the actor as saying "America is ... like a dumb puppy that has big teeth that can bite and hurt you, aggressive." He was further quoted as saying he wanted his children to "see America as ... a broken toy" that they should explore, get the feel of, then "get out."
Explaining his comments a day later, Depp he had been using a metaphor that was taken "radically out of context," adding, "There was no anti-American sentiment."
"What I was saying was that, compared to Europe, America is a very young country and we are still growing as a nation," he said. "My deepest apologies to those who were offended, affected, or hurt by this insanely twisted deformation of my words and intent."
His spokeswoman added that the Kentucky-born Depp, 40, lives in the south of France with his family because his wife, actress-singer Vanessa Paradis (news), is French.

He was nominated for Golden Globes for Edward Scissorhands, Benny & Joon and Ed Wood. One for Pirates Of The Caribbean doesn't seem to0 far-fetched.
Also, Benny & Joon isn't a sinful pleasure for me. I openly admit to loving that friggin' movie.
I also think Russell Crowe is a good actor, but he's no Depp.

are you guys kidding? i think depp is a shoe in, his "puppy dog" and other negative comments about the USA almost guarentee him an award of some kind.
its a shame that real talent and awards have nothing to do with each other these days. I agree he shoulda got the hook up with fear/loathing... but thats how these lame awards work these days. personally, if I was an accomplished actor, Id consider it an honor NOT to win an oscar.
