^ Some of the jewelry he wears is given to him by his daughter. (He has mentioned it before). 
I'm surprised to see him at Comic Con. He looks effortlessly hot, as usual.

filmshaft.comPublic Enemies Press Conference
By: Craig Sharp
Earlier this week I headed on down to The Berkeley Hotel in London for the UK press conference for Public Enemies. Attending the press conference were Academy Award® winner Marion Cotillard, director Michael Mann and John Dillinger himself - Johnny Depp. The three all interviewed separately, presumably ensuring they all get adequate time to answer any questions.
For those who haven’t yet read the reviews, John Dillinger was a legendary Chicago bank robber from Depression-era America. The man remains a folk hero to the people, and at the time was a thorn in the side of the fledgling Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Q: John Dillinger is an absolutely bona fide folk hero, but what was the draw of playing this outlaw whose name is virtually synonymous with the gun-slinging American past?
Depp: Well, first and foremost, when I was like 9 or 10 years old, I had a fascination with John Dillinger, I don’t know why - and probably not a healthy one. I think it was something about the twinkle in his eye; there was something mischievous that intrigued me. But, in terms of taking on the role, the idea that the guy was called Public Enemy Number 1, but, if you really think about it, was never an enemy of the public. That I found intriguing and challenging.
Q: What is it about this character of John Dillinger that you think fascinated the public? And, famously, he died after watching Manhattan Melodrama, what would be the film you’d like to watch before you died?
Depp: [Laughs] If I had to see a last ever film, it would be Withnail & I, without question! I think, especially with a guy like John Dillinger, if you think about where we were in 1933 - well, it’s not unlike where we are now. The banks were sort of the enemies, and it was taking the knees out from under everyone. Displacement was a kind way of putting it, their lives were being ripped from them! And there’s JD, who arrives as one of those people who’ve been ten years in prison for some youthful, ignorant, drunken crime. Ten years, and he arrives on the scene in the ultimate existential arena, and says ‘I’m gonna stand up against these people’. So I think, for me, what’s fascinating is the guy who says ‘I’m not gonna take it’.
Q: [A journalist references a scene where JD sings the country standard The Last Roundup, after a jail break] First Sweeney Todd, and now this, it was almost as if you were looking to crowbar in some singing…
Depp: I almost broke into dance… I just might now!
Q: Why not? Just wondering if you’ve been bitten by the singing bug?
Depp: I’ve only been bitten once, and it was an indirect bite. No, no, no. I sang the one time on Sweeney because, well basically I had no choice. [grins]
Q: But you sang well in this. I know it was only a few lines….
Depp: Oh, yeah! I do sing in the film - is it in? I haven’t seen it!
Q: Any recording contracts come your way yet?
Depp: You know, some people better stay in their own little arena. [laughs]
Q: How did you research for the role? Did you watch previous films about him?
Depp: I certainly had a strong memory of Warren Oates’ John Dillinger in the John Milius film [Dillinger, 1973]. But, I hadn’t seen it in years. I do remember there was a certain palate that was limited. And I thought there were more colours to be offered, without being too esoteric about it. If you think about the information that has come out since, some of Dillinger’s own words have surfaced. So there’s a bit more to the story, a little more dimension. And that was what I was hoping for, to add some of that.
Q: Stephen Graham [Baby Face Nelson in Public Enemies] over here is our rising star - how did you two get on?
Depp: We hated each other, and we fought constantly. [audience laugh] I think he’s magnificent, one of my favourite actors of all time. What he did in This is… [audience - 'England!'] England… absolutely destroyed me. What he did, and what Tomo did in that film of Shane Meadows’ took me to my knees. He’s someone I’m going to fight to get… I’m going to force him to be in every film I do - even at gunpoint!
Q: You’ve mentioned you’ve not seen the film, and you did a double-take at the poster as you came in - do you not like looking at yourself? And what’s it like now that you’re a big star?
Depp: If I can avoid the mirror when I brush my teeth in the morning, I will. I find security and safety in the most profound degree of ignorance. If you can just stay ignorant almost everything will be ok. Just keep walking forward and it’s ok to notice things, and look at things, but to judge things will just bog you down. So I don’t like watching myself in the movie, because I don’t like to be aware of the product, I like the process. I enjoy that. That [pointing at the oversized poster] is… not my fault. I didn’t do it!
The event itself was very interesting, and apart from one tabloid journalist trying to crowbar Michael Jackson’s recent tragedy into proceedings (she was quickly shot down by the way) things went very smoothly. Mann, Marion and Depp were all on time but the event itself overran by about half an hour which just goest to show how willing they all were to share their experiences from this wonderful film.
