Getting To Know Angelina Jolie Was A 'Pleasant Surprise' For Johnny Depp

Wednesday, December 1, 2010

When Johnny Depp signed on to play opposite Angelina Jolie then he wasn't quite sure what to expect in The Tourist. So, he was pleasantly surprised when he discovered she's actually a pretty cool lady. He says she's "incredibly normal" and that he liked her particular brand of wit.

He said: "Meeting her and getting to know her was a real pleasant surprise. You don't know what she might be like - if she has any sense of humor at all. I was so pleased to find that she is incredibly normal, and has a wonderfully kind of dark, perverse sense of humor."

Johnny was so impressed with Angelina, he even likened to another legendary leading lady Dame Elizabeth Taylor.

In an interview with Vanity Fair magazine, he said: "I've had the honor and the pleasure and gift of having known Elizabeth Taylor for a number of years. You know, you sit down with her, she slings hash, she sits there and cusses like a sailor, and she's hilarious. Angie's got the same kind of thing, you know, the same approach."

Although Johnny loved working with Angelina, he admits they didn't spend that much time together during filming because they didn't want to bring upon themselves any unwanted attention.
