There’s been a persistent rumor that JOHNNY DEPP based his performance in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” on MICHAEL JACKSON. But it turns out NOT to be true.

Johnny says:

“I wish I could say that I was inspired by him for a role.  I was inspired by him because I think he was a great artist but he was not the inspiration for Willy Wonka, contrary to what most people say.

A mother and a father have lost a son, siblings have lost a brother and millions of people around the world have lost someone they love.  Children have lost a father so it’s obviously a very sad, sad moment.”
