Few actors in Hollywood inspire the kind of devotion—and daydreaming—that Johnny Depp does. From his earliest heartthrob days in 21 Jump Street to his eccentric, genre-defining roles as Jack Sparrow, Edward Scissorhands, and beyond, Depp has always carried an air of mystery, charisma, and edge. But what’s even more telling than his fanbase’s adoration is how many fellow celebrities openly gush, giggle, and flat-out thirst over him in public.

Pink: The Rocker Who Dodged Him

Pop icon Pink once admitted on Jimmy Kimmel Live that she actually dodged Depp backstage because she was so nervous. Her candid confession got the audience roaring—especially when Depp walked out moments later to surprise her. Pink’s wide-eyed panic was the perfect proof: even global superstars aren’t immune to Johnny’s spell.

T. Lopez: “Any Way I Can Get Him”

During a red-carpet interview, singer T. Lopez didn’t hesitate when asked about her celebrity crush. Her instant, no-filter response? “Johnny Depp. All day, every day.” She went on to say she’d take him in dreadlocks, in a beanie, with glasses—basically in any form he appeared. That kind of raw honesty has since gone viral as one of the most unabashed confessions of Depp fandom.

Bella Heathcote: From Dream Crush to On-Screen Kiss

Australian actress Bella Heathcote had her own surreal moment. Just weeks after telling her boyfriend that Depp was her ultimate celebrity crush, she landed a role opposite him that required an on-screen kiss. In interviews, she still blushes recalling the moment, calling it “pretty surreal” and admitting that her teenage fantasy had come true—on camera, no less.

Dakota Johnson & Julianne Nicholson: “Magical”

While promoting Black Mass, co-stars Dakota Johnson and Julianne Nicholson couldn’t help but gush. “He’s magical,” Dakota declared, describing him as a creature unlike anyone else. Nicholson echoed her words, adding that being in his company made you feel like the room itself had shifted. It’s the kind of praise reserved for artists who transcend acting and enter legend status.

Anna Kendrick: Too Intimidated to Stay

Anna Kendrick, known for her humor and confidence, revealed that meeting Depp while recording for Into the Woods was almost too much to handle. “I couldn’t wait to get out of there,” she admitted, not because Depp wasn’t kind, but because simply being around someone that famous was overwhelming.

Jennifer Lawrence: The Daydream Moment

On The Graham Norton Show, Jennifer Lawrence famously zoned out mid-conversation while Depp was speaking. Viewers couldn’t help but notice her dreamy expression—proof that even one of Hollywood’s biggest names couldn’t help but get starstruck when Johnny was in the room.

Beyond the Crush: Depp’s Playful Side

Of course, Depp is in on the joke. On Jimmy Kimmel Live, he playfully kissed Kimmel multiple times after being complimented on his looks, sending the audience into hysterics. On The Ellen Show, he dodged Ellen’s cheeky question about his strangest hookup location, proving that his signature mix of shyness and wit hasn’t gone anywhere.

From being searched at airports with vampire props in his luggage to recalling his disastrous stint as a telemarketer, Depp has built a public persona that blends eccentricity, humor, and undeniable magnetism.

The Timeless Crush

What’s remarkable isn’t just that fans and celebrities alike swoon over him—it’s that this admiration has lasted decades. Whether he’s the dark outsider in Tim Burton’s worlds, the rogue pirate who became a cultural icon, or simply Johnny Depp himself, he continues to embody that rare mix of mystery and allure.

For Hollywood’s women—and plenty of men—Johnny Depp isn’t just a crush. He’s the crush.
