Johnny Depp Covers 'Vanity Fair' November 2011

Johnny Depp crosses his arms on the cover of Vanity Fair‘s November 2011 issue, on newsstands Thursday (October 6) in New York and Los Angeles and nationally on Wednesday (October 12).

Here’s what the 48-year-old actor had to share:

On despising photo shoots: “You just feel like you’re being raped somehow. Raped. The whole thing. It feels like a kind of weird�”just weird, man…. Whenever you have a photo shoot or something like that, it’s like�”you just feel dumb. It’s just so stupid.”

On why he feels compelled to take on as many projects as he can: “Basically, if they’re going to pay me the stupid money right now, I’m going to take it. I have to. I mean, it’s not for me. Do you know what I mean? At this point, it’s for my kids. It’s ridiculous, yeah, yeah. But ultimately is it for me? No. No. It’s for the kids.”
