Is Rob the new Johnny Depp??

“In the June 29th edition of US Magazine Rob Pattinson was hailed as the new Johnny Depp, calling him “The One.” This of course comes after they said he went from “No One to The One overnight.”
Does acting for eight years fall under overnight? I’m guessing they’re considering his huge success as Edward to be his claim to fame, but many of his fans have known about him for quite some time. And not to sound snipey, but why can’t he just be Robert Pattinson, why does he have to be equated with an American actor, (albiet and EXCELLENT American actor, but I digress).”
















this is cool cuz mr. depp is my favorite actor and robert is my husband.

That’s a lot of pretty for one page.
Hehe I saw this while reading on my break at work, had to tear the page out and take it home to my wall– my two FAVORITE actors mentioned together
First things first, how can Rob be the NEW Johnny Depp when Mr. Depp is still perfectly valid??
I don’t see the comparison much really, but the article mainly mentions a similarity in cheek bones and messy hair…so it’s nothing profound. I agree with Rob just being ROB and not compared to anyone else, but the article features mainly that: matching “today’s” actors up with “past” big names…which again…there’s nothing “past” about Depp. I digress…I just liked seeing my two favorites mentioned together, even if it’s silly 
Johny Depp is amazing; he has so much talent and has given so many remarkable, diverse performances. As far as I’m concerned he is in a class by himself. He is beautiful and profoundly sexy. Pattinson on the other hand has a lot to prove and only time will tell. Although he is certainly a tall drink of water and extremely photogenic, does it make him the next Johnny Depp? Is it fair or even necessary to compare the two? I think on both counts the answer is negative. Let them be who they are without all this ridiculous speculation. Depp is unique. Let’s see how unique Pattinson will be.
I’ve been a Johnny Depp fan since he started on 21 JumpStreet all those years ago (yup, I’m that old) and he is so unique in his talent and in his being that really I don’t think anyone can ever be the new him…………But Rob is already unique in own way and may someday be just as respected and just as consistently good and diverse as JD…….He’s already proven his talent to me……I can’t wait to see the different roles he will take on and the music he will make…. So if people are going to compare, then there is noone better to be compared to than Johnny Depp (it sure beats being compared to Jude Law)………..Looks wise they’re both gorgeous, and even though I’ve always been a dark hair/dark eyes type of girl……….there is no comparison…..there is just Rob…………….
Johnny Depps acting career spans a generation. THere should not be any comparison. They are both great in their own right. Rob is just now starting his career. We will have to see how his career turns out. I think Rob will be very successful if he does not decide that all these crazy fans stalking him isn’t worth staying in acting. I hope he does keep making movies though. Rob is rare gem in HL.
ok Rob…the new Johnny Depp? You guys can’t be serious….Johnny is still in his prime!!!! There’s no way…and it’snot cause I don’t like Rob. Johnny Depp is an amazing actor and he’s young and he’s still making movies and stuff you can’t compare Rob to Johnny…they are from 2 different worlds. Besides why does he have to be the new anyone??? Can’t he just be himself? You know like Johnny Depp is Johnny Depp, Robert Pattinson is Robert Pattinson……The new Johnny Depp….WOW.
Robert pattinson is not even close. I doubt Robert pattinson can reach Johnny Depp level.
