When young, Johnny Depp had a much better face.

Johnny Depp was pretty like a portrait, but had no sex appeal and not much charisma. Jack Sparrow is the only role where he was endearing, maybe "chocolat".

Brad Pitt's face is less perfect, but he's very charismatic. When he's on screen, he's the one everyone's looking at.

Depp was both prettier and more attractive when they were both young, he wasn't just androgynously beautiful, he was a much better actor than the lifeless Pitt, and there was life and personality behind his pretty face.

But then Depp drank his talent and his looks away, while Depp stayed healthy and at least kept trying to act. So Pitt's still a crap actor but looks as good as any 60 year old man ever does, and Depp looks and acts like one of the Living Dead.

"... while PITT stayed healthy and at least kept trying to act."

Shit!

The only time Depp was attractive was in that cheesy horror movie The Ninth Gate

Yeah, young JD was sexy as hell. Brad Pitt too, especially in Legends of the Fall. JD, i n Don Juan DeMarco. I don't know, I can't decide.

Because Johnny’s looks peaked when he was around 20-24 and it was downhill from there.

Brad’s looks peaked at around age 30-45.

R9 Depp looked best in this role, at age 37/38.

I never thought Depp was handsome ever. But Pitt was HOT!

Because Johnny Depp is ethnic looking and Brad Pitt is all american white. At least that seems to be the take. Pretty white with yellow undertones and blue eyes tends to be out dark and swarthy with olive undertones in the long run. But it's by a hair. Even with his bad skin, Brad Pitt exudes sex appeal, while Depp was just pretty and then became weird in his choices. Depp strikes me as an actor who really fought against his looks and won.

I'm an old whore from way back and Brad never did nothing for me, looks-wise or by his so-called acting prowess.

Both are overrated along with Leonardo DiCaprio. The reason Brad was more popular was that Brad had an All-American cornfed look (blond, blue eyes, easy tan, Midwestern) that made him massively marketable to a wide audience, he's confident and charismatic and smiles like a giant puppy. Johnny had a gloomy loner vibe to him and was drawn to darker roles. He became a favorite of outsiders and weirdos for his offbeat personality. Drugs ruined him. Johnny is also part black and Native and mentioned this a few times.

Keanu Reeves was better looking than both. Rob Lowe had a better face. Rodney Harvey. Many of the 80s teen actors had better faces. Pitt and Depp just outlast their peers. I found Johnny very sexy in Cry Baby, Private Resort, Donnie Brasco, Arizona Dream and Dead Man. So definitely he peaked in the 90s.

[quote]Because Johnny Depp is ethnic looking and Brad Pitt is all american white

They're both standard white guys

Because Johnny lost it but Brad still gots it.

Brad got hotter around the time Johnny began to lose it in the early 2000s. Johnny peaked in his early 30s while Brad started to peak in his later 30s (around Joe Black and Fight Clubs) and is still looking good.

^This. Johnny was beautiful but almost feminine-looking which is great while young but never ages well on a man. Brad got more attractive with age.

Yes, Keanu Reeves is better looking than either, but he's a worse actor than either.

Because depp is beginning to look like he has a bad embalming experience in his recent history.

[quote] Because Johnny Depp is ethnic looking

Depp is not "ethnic" looking.

Brad smiles a lot and it's a wonderful thing to behold.

I thought Johnny was Hispanic for years. When young on Nightmare on Elm Street, he looked a bit like Ralph Macchio. So definitely, he's Mediterranean or looking or Creole looking. Depp has even said he's not white. He's not Cherokee or Creek or whatever nonsense he claims because he's from Kentucky. And what remained of the surviving Eastern tribes was a really a Creole people of British, French, Irish, African and Indigenous descent. These people - now called melungeons - often claimed to be Indians (like Cherokee or Lumbee or whatever) or "colored", they most had more African DNA than Indigenous. Depp certainly looks melungeon.

[quote]Depp is not "ethnic" looking.

R22 Depp could be South American here, Brazilian, Venezuelan. I am not saying he is considering his background is European, but he doesn't look white, all-american with his deep olive undertones thick dark hair and full eyebrows. At most he looks Italian or Spanish.

Johnny Depp was always consider better looking and in my opinion was better looking in youth. I don't know where you got that from OP. You can find a million Brad's in flyover. Inmo, Depp is more universally good looking among all races. With that being said, Depp destroyed his looks with drug/booze and Brad's fine ass aged like fine wine.

Hasn’t Pitt claimed he’s part Native American? If he is, he doesn’t look it to me.

R25 He looks like those "white" Brazilians, Chileans, Argentines and Uruguayans who have a lot of Indigenous and African descent. The cultural genocide in those countries were no joke. The US has a lot of white-passing Creole people in the South called Melungeons who were racist to the core and do anything to avoid being black. They aren't the same as light-skinned black people though they overlap in looks, light-skinned blacks never pass for white. Johnny's father looked Melungeon and may have passed for white when he married his mom.

Lots of people claim to be part Native American. Maybe Brad Pitt is, but it's probably not a significant amount. Also, he wasn't culturally raised as part of any tribe.

R25 He looks like Ronaldo in that picture.

[quote] Pretty white with yellow undertones

What are yellow undertones?

It all boils down to symmetry.

Even a hatchet Roman nose can be beautiful if it is perfectly center placed and symmetrical.

The perception of symmetry is genetic.

Pitt was sexier even though Depp was prettier.

Brad is tall with natural masculinity

Brad, Keanu and Johnny were the unholy trinity of 90s movie stars.

One is just as desirable as the other. Let's not forget that.

Brad Pitt has done some incredible acting. Moneyball(my favorite), Ad Astra, Ocean's Eleven, Se7en, Inglourious Basterds, Twelve Monkeys.

Johnny Depp also with awesome acting. Black Mass, Sweeney Todd, Ed Wood, Edward Scissorhands, What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, Donnie Brasco(his best and my favorite).

Brad Pitt has aged the best. Madonna and Depp are each in the running for fucked up fugly.

What's Eating Gilbert's Grape?

I think both were considered equally attractive.

I think the big difference was Depp played weird and eccentric characters in his movies and Pitt played pretty men in dramas like “Legends of the Fall” and “Seven Years in Tibet” where he looked like he belonged on the cover of a trashy romance model.

Depp didn’t take a lot of those movie roles. He did “Don Juan” where he was sexy as fuck but that wasn’t a big movie.

Depp was too quirky to be next to Brad Pitt in the 90’s.

[quote] He did “Don Juan” where he was sexy as fuck but that wasn’t a big movie.

I made that movie big, and Brando was big, little gay boy!

Both were and remain extremely overrated in the looks department. Overgrown boys.

Depp is short and insecure

R41 What do you mean by overgrown boys?

Nah, I think Leonardo DiCaprio, Macaulay Culkin, Andy Milonakis are better examples of overgrown boys, they still look like children. Both Johnny and Brad look like men to me just with slightly boyish faces.

R44, you must be dumb as a bag of rocks as Andy Milonakis actually has a genetic disorder. Why the fuck would you introduce him here.

R45 I didn't know. I thought he was just short and really childlike. I didn't know it was a genetic disorder. He certainly wasn't talking about it.

I took a class at Mizzou with Brad Pitt. In person, he was gorgeous. Twinkling eyes. He had the spinster instructor wrapped around his finger.

I would have made a move if I wasn't so terrified of being out. When those nude paparazzi shots appeared in Playgirl, I was positively kicking myself. Then, of course, I relieved the pressure...

How tall is Depp? Sometimes he looks tiny, sometimes he looks average height, anyone stood next to him in person or shared a barstool?

How tall is Pitt, for that matter?

R48 Amber Heard is 5'7 and Johnny looked to be around her height.

Depp is shorter than Amber

Depp looks like he doesn't wipe well.

Why are there rumours of Depp having poor hygiene? I know he looks awful now, but back in his 30s/40s/early 50s, he didn't look filthy.

Depp mentioned he was raised Southern Baptist and his uncle was a charismatic preacher who spoke in tongues. White Southern Baptists are deeply fucked up mentally. Depp is like Holly Golightly or Jay Gatsby, wanted to shed his country boy beginnings and create a new sophisticated persona. It got grating when he affected that British accent and began dressing like a fashion victim. He sounded pretty country when young like in Private Resort and Nightmare on Elm Street, there were still some Southern twang to his speech. Cry-Baby and What's Eating Gilbert Grape are where he basically played characters closest to his true self. I think that's juvenile to still keep up the charade. One reason Matthew McConaughey remained popular is he never hid his Southern heritage and insisted on keeping his accent. Holly Hunter kept her country girl accent. Keanu completely embraced his Chinese-Hawaiian heritage and never passed for white (he could have changed his name and was pressured to by agents). People respect authenticity especially once you're older.

[quote]Keanu completely embraced his Chinese-Hawaiian heritage and never passed for white (he could have changed his name and was pressured to by agents)

You must be one of those "Italians aren't white" types

Depp was pretty when he was young, but didn't have much hotness. Brad Pitt has always been hot and has only increased his hotness as he's aged. The only thing Depp has increased as he's aged is his look of homelessness.

R54 Keanu looks Hawaiian. Once you find out his ancestry, he doesn't look white just like Meg Tilly. Italians mostly look white except some Southerners who have more Middle Eastern features.

Depp was way better looking, by many miles, but Pitt salvaged what he could, as time marched on.

It’s that simple.

Both very good looking men. Pitt definitely had a plastic surgery assist, and Depp didn’t need one. But Depp let it all go while Pitt decided he needed a return on his aforementioned, plastic surgery.

Good for Pitt!

Being practical is where it’s at.

But goddamn, Johnny was GORGEOUS!

Wasn’t he?

[quote]Why am I considered less attractive than a dog turd?

Shut up, bitches! My preferences are God's law!

Brad Pitt has a more vigorous and masculine look, which I think puts him over the top with straight women in particular

What does OP set up a fake binary that never existed in these two stars' history. Nobody was going around comparing Pitt and Depp and deciding was was better looking? It was not a conversation in the zeitgeist.

People are also forgetting that Pitt was a body for the bulk of the beginning of his career. His body was a work of art from Thelma & Louise to Fight Club to Troy. Just knowing that hot body was there made him very attractive and sexy.
