Johnny Depp did not die in a car crash. The "Johnny Depp died" story is just a horrible internet rumor that took off and was further fueled by the incomprehensible use of CNN as a supposed outlet for the Johnny Depp story. These internet hoaxes of celebrity deaths are becoming common news and it is a disturbing trend.

This horrible rumor about Johnny Depp dying in a car crash all started on Twitter with the hashtag "RIP Johnny Depp". There is a fake CNN news page that has really fueled all of the rumors out on Anglfire.com that reports with the full CNN template that Johnny Depp died in a car crash. But if you look closely you will see that it says Johnny Depp dies in 2004.

So again...Johnny Depp is not dead. Johnny Depp did not die in a car crash. The world's sexist man is live and well and living in France. Johnny Depp has risen to the status of international superstar based on his incredible acting talents.

Johnny Depp has also played real life characters with great skill, such as: Edward D. Wood, Jr., in "Ed Wood" and Joseph D. Pistone in "Donnie Brasco". Johnny Depp also portrayed infamous bank robber John Dillinger in "Public Enemies".

    Glad that you're clearing this out for everyone :)

    Just to let you know, paragraph 3, you put him as "the world's sexist man" ... I am guessing you meant "sexiest" ? :)

    Thank you!!!!! I typed in that the article was written in 2004 as well, on the Twitterverse, but it seems that too many are just too stupid to do the research, and take the time out of their "busy day" to find out reality from fiction. I saw the tag line and checked it out, only to find, as you did, that the article was a hoax, as well as the picture that was there. Sad, really, when people believe they can get their news from 140 characters, instead of critically thinking for themselves, and finding out the truth through trusted news outlets. It is people like you, who do the research and find what you can, to make sure the rest of the world knows the truth. Now, if only others across the globe would learn to do the same, and learn to type with proficiency, instead of abbreviated terms.
