Driving to the shops yesterday, the following conversation took place.
OH (out of the blue): ‘He’ll go suddenly, you know. One day he’ll wake up with all the wrinkles, and a pot belly’.
Me: ‘Huh?’
OH: ‘Your bloke*. He’ll go suddenly. He’ll go to bed one night, all youthful, and next morning he’ll wake up wrinkley. Bags under the eyes, you know. Pot belly. It’ll all be there.’
Me: ‘Ah. You mean someone will have found the portrait’.**
OH: ‘I’ll give him a year. OK, maybe five. Five years. Then one day … he’ll go. Wrinkles. Suddenly.’
Me: ‘And you know what?’
OH: ‘What?’
*Crickets*
OH: ‘Oh. Yeah. I know what.’
*Pause*
OH: *Sigh*
Me: *Snigger*
OH (mutters): ‘But I’ll laugh. On that day, I’ll laugh’.
* Johnny Depp. Who else?
** As in ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’ by Oscar Wilde
Ha ha! I felt like a fly on the wall for that conversation.
Babs - beetles last blog post..I missed them both!
Poor man. I guess the luv for JD is getting to him.
I totally disagree with his prediction.
Oh dear! Poor fella. Yeah, I had an open pass to have my way with Robert Plant if I should ever meet him. Never met him and now? He’s all wrinkles. But so am I so who cares?
Peace - D

LOL! That sounds like conversations —- or not even conversations, just LOOKS that we’ve shared when certain subjects (people) come up.
LOL
I don’t get the obsession, but I have my own with Vincent D’Onofrio. These little crushes are useful at times
DrowseyMonkeys last blog post..I’m Unspectacular
I can only imagine how much MORE attractive he’ll be with wrinkles. My OH has wrinkles, and is mostly bald too - yum.

What a funny conversation. You got the OH sitting there thinking when JD will wake up and have a pot belly and wrinkles. Funny!!! Do you think JD has had any work done? (Don’t be mad for me even suggesting, sorry, just wondering)
no, but really - he will!
Babs - That’s the idea! Might as well share the funny stuff, huh? LOL!
Ruth HC - I know - but he’s OK with it, really he is. He just likes to ponder on stuff now and then!
RiverPoet - Exactly! It’s kind of comforting, actually, to know that he’ll share in that one day.
JT - Ha! I get the looks, too! LOL!
DM - Ah, yes - someone told me you had a thing for Vincent D’Onofrio. Not someone I’m familiar with. Is he in TV?
Lola - No kidding! Personally, although he’s gorgeous right now, I can’t wait for the sexy wrinkles! I can even cope with a pot belly. After all, I have one. Tee hee.
Valerie - No, I really don’t. I think he’s had a few moles removed because he had way more when he was younger, but if you look closely at that face (as one does … *sigh*) you can see a few signs of wear. They just add to the beauty.
Alan - Well, hopefully not overnight, but yes. Comes to us all - and as I implied to OH, Johnny will just be even more attractive with wrinkles. Men are lucky that way. Women with wrinkles? Ugh. Men with wrinkles .. mmmmmmm!! So not fair!
So who is this other JD I keep reading about?
Heh. Funny post. Poor OH. Doesn’t he know that Johnny Depp will NEVER die? We’ll always have Gilbert Grape and Chocolat. Forever and ever and ever.
Bring on the wrinkles. So what. He’s delicious because of who he is/how he is. Sexiness is an attitude, not about looks really and never more alluring and enigmatic than it is in someone who doesn’t really know or try to be such.The fact that he’s so aesthetically exquisite as well is just a bonus.
Poor OH, gonna hit him hard when he realizes the deppster is not gonna fade away. Still, you love your OH and he’s your’s. He’s a lucky man.
I’m laughing because there my friend Drowsey is up there talking about Vincent D’Onofrio again. Ah, her love is so strong.
Johnny looks incredibly good for his age, plus, what an actor. So he’ll still be riveting when he’s an old fellow.
Your husband has been infiltrated by the Green Eyed Monster. (No, not Angelina Jolie. Anyway, her eyes are blue.) I meant Jealousy.

JD - He’s beginning to suspect it, I think. LOL!
Jeni - Yep, you get it. I know you do. And yes, I do love OH. Soul mates we are - I know that, cos he told me so.
‘aesthetically exquisite’ .. mm.. I like that.
Jenn - I know! I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen Vincent D’O in anything, but I’ll have to look out for him now. And yes, I do so agree. Johnny will still be riveting when he’s an old guy, wrinkles, beer gut, bags under his eyes and all.
This is in praise of older women - give me Helen Mirren any day of the week over so much of what passes for sexy today. (Well, with the exception of Charlize Theron, of course. ;-))
Mirren is my Prime Suspect as far as I am concerned.
Mr. Nighttimes last blog post..This feline needs a cattitude adjustment.
cute Jay!
my OH had to give me the whole article verbatum on JD being only number 2 in the most money made by an actor yesterday….. who cares?
Mr N - I might be a woman, but I can see Helen Mirren’s appeal. She looks to me like a very attractive ‘real’ woman, and I’d be very happy indeed if I looked as good at her age.
Dawn - Ha! ‘ONLY’ the second highest earner? Good grief - I’d take him penniless! LOL!
TEE HEE! Yeah … these guys can’t wait until Johnny goes to seed, can they? Little do they know, we’ll still see the lovely darling Johnny within.
Jennys last blog post..44 Hours In North Carolina
Jenny - He knows now!! LOL!
@ Dawn - I’d take him, even if I had to work double shifts to help him out of his debts. I’d still have him to come home to.
Ha Ha! shows that your husband loves you far too much.:)
Oh I don’t care… wrinkles and a pot belly on Johnny will look better than on anyone else I can think of….
(Another JD obsesser, er “fan” here too. I even carved his lovely face in my Halloween pumpkin one year.)
Maureens last blog post..White Powder
Jeni - I know you would, honey. And I’d come visit more often then, too.
Scratch - Yes, he does, bless him! And I love him, too.
Maureen - I’m almost looking forward to the wrinkles - yes, and even the pot belly. The queue would then be short of all the teenies, and I do love a man with those little character wrinkles on a fine face. It’s very sexy. I can’t right now imagine Johnny Depp getting any more sexy, but I’m willing to believe it could happen!
