Hot & Dirty: Stars We Like Better Grimy
By Martha Brockenbrough
Special to MSN Entertainment
We love red-carpet glam as much as the next lunatic fan, but here's a dirty little secret: There are some celebrities we prefer ... dirty.
That's right, dirty. With greasy hair, sweaty pits and clothes that look as though ... morethey could be plowed and planted.
Maybe this would change if we had to share the same subway strap on a hot day. Eau reeka isn't our favorite scent, even spritzed on a looker as lovely as George Clooney (who, for the record, we prefer scrubbed and tuxedoed).
But that's a non-issue. After all, we'll never be in the same room as Ralph Fiennes, Johnny Depp or Viggo Mortensen, who is so far superior when dirty that we've dubbed him "The Godfather of Grime."
So why not dream a little dream of dirt?
Johnny Depp: Sadly, we are old enough to have watched — and loved — "21 Jump Street" when it debuted on TV starring a sparkling, youthful Johnny Depp. He was a dreamboat then with his chiseled face and Dippity-do coated hair.
But he's gone from dreamboat to dream — we don't ... moreknow, battleship? — in the years since. You could compare his looks in "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street," where his character goes from being a well-washed young man to something decidedly grimmer. The bad Johnny is far more alluring.
Or, you could simply observe him in his full filthy glory as Captain Jack Sparrow in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies. Even with smeary eyeliner, matted hair and skin oily enough for a Clearasil joke, we'd like to request a parley with Captain Jack. On any desert island, anywhere. We'd bring the rum.
