Marilyn Manson Inspired Johnny Depp

[Lord_of_the_Dense]

Johnny Depp's muse for his role as Willy Wonka in the forthcoming movie 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' is set to shock fans of the children's book - it's shock rocker Marilyn Manson.

The Oscar-nominated actor is keen to give his character a darker edge and has been inspired by the self-proclaimed "Antichrist Superstar" for his performance in the Tim Burton-directed adventure.

This is not the first time Depp has used a rock star as his inspiration - he based flamboyant pirate Jack Sparrow in 'Pirates of the Caribbean' on wildman Rolling Stone Keith Richards.
