Well, I am not emotionally invested in his career, though it is true that:

- he's always chosen movies which are not commercial (Jim Jarmush etc.) while accepting from time to time big budget movies to pay the rent. To me that indicates that he considers himself an 'arteest' and I am not sure if it's really justified by his body of work as a whole.

He was indeed the best thing in the '21 Jump Street' show but mostly because he was the only character with the appropriate type of adolescent looks: all the other actors looked like adults, which made their undercover premise ridiculous. And there is no denying that he was good in 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape' which I believe was his first movie. If only Leonardo diCaprio had not been chewing the scenery right left and center in the same movie, he would have gotten greater acclaim for it.

- However, since then, he's suffered the same problem (in my opinion) as Leonardo diCaprio; that's irony for you. When playing an adolescent, like in 'Scissorhands' having a baby face was an asset. But eventualy he ended up having to play adult characters and when playing adult characters, they both look like incongruous babies (recently more like wrinkled babies), unless they hide behind lots of ugly facial hair (a beard combined with long hair explain why Depp was perfect for 'Pirates of the Caribbean' for instance).

- more subjectively, someone who only dates/marries super models is someone whose attitude towards women I distrust: once or even twice is fine, I am sure that some super models are very nice women.

But ONLY dating super models? To me, that indicates someone who values a woman's appearance exclusively over her personality. Someone who moreover likes feeling morally 'superior' to the women he dates. You know, the old "she makes her living out of her looks whereas I am an 'arteest' and libe for my art".

And not just any super models, but models who notoriously share his babyish type of good looks? Somehow there is something a tad unhealthy about a grown man dating only women who look like teenage girls.

For instance, his latest ex is a famous singer, model and actress whose success was long assumed to be due to her looks (certainly not her breathy, thin voice) until she ended up getting awards for some of her roles. I think she became famous at 15 and to this day hardly looks older than 12, though to be fair, Depp is only 11 years older than she is.

And when she starts getting a few lines on her still babyish face, a normal result of reaching 40 without cosmetic surgery, just swap her for a younger model? Well, I don't know the guy, but it just seems a bit skeevy. Maybe I am being unfair and jumping to conclusions... but it gives the impression of someone who treats women like disposable items, like handkerchiefs.
