Johnny Depp also pulled off SMOKING HOT Amber heard, half his age.
Although it might be more of a commercial arrangement, and he might be in more deep sh*t *ahem* i mean liability here.
Edit: what i mean is that he's more likely to get an expen$ive divorce than michael buble.
Why would it be a commercial arrangement? The general consensus among women seems to be that Johnny Depp is a good-looking man. He is also high status since his name is a household name and he is a famous movie star. So my guess is she has female friends and relatives jealous that she snagged Johnny Depp, a man some of them probably grew up crushing on when they watched his ghost pirate movies or his teen-themed police TV show when he was younger if they are older relatives. She probably isn't getting the questions of why she would choose some old dude instead of a man her own age.
Maybe someone Johnny Depp knows might warn him about the gold digger thing, but I would imagine men he knows would understand the appeal of a young beautiful woman. If it's just as easy to marry a young pretty woman as it is to marry an old saggy one.... you know.
Anyway, if one of my daughters had grown up and wanted to marry Johnny Depp, I'd oppose it. For one thing, he's a divorced man. There is the religious issue. And Hollywood actors would be low on my list of preferences for someone for my daughters or son to marry. I've drilled it into the kids, especially the girls, from a young age, that marriage means when your dad approves of a man and you get married and live together. I prefer the Asian mindset-- that the parents help you get married or at the very least approve of it or you don't marry.... the father of the bride at least has to approve. The house rule is no dating until they are old enough to get married or close to it.
I am not against my daughters marrying an older man in principal. When my children were very small children, I had a friend whose wife passed away. He was a preacher and church planter, and I respected that and certain things about him. My wife and I tried to match him up with a woman from the same country of from a similar ethnic background. She was older and single. Instead, he went to a conference in another country where he had planted a church. A young woman there believed the Lord spoke to her that this was to be her husband. She mentioned it to her mom. Word got back to him. He was very eager. She was a pretty blond around 30. He might have been around 50. They got married pretty soon, had a bunch of kids. He eventually passed away. The boys might have been teenagers. I am not sure if he had insurance or money saved up. He wasn't very wealth focused. I wouldn't be opposed to a 20 year age gap for my girls if the man had been single and celibate or had been faithful while married and then widowed. If he's a good quality family man with the same faith and values, that's a good thing. My girls want children, so I wouldn't want them marrying a sterile old man who'd gotten snipped. That kind of stuff is pretty important.
For my son, though, I wouldn't want him marrying a much older woman because I want grand children to carry on the family name, my branch of it at least. I wouldn't want him marrying a slutty girl who'd slept around or some left wing person from Hollywood, either.
Having the sameness and similarities in faith, values, and lifestyle is important. It is a lot more important than liking the same style of music or looks. To some extent, looks that appealed to me were 'table stakes' for me to consider a woman, but there also had to be similarities in the area of faith, values, and lifestyle. There was one very pretty woman about five years older than me that I got close to as a friend, went around places with, but she was pretty clear that we were not dating because she had interest in some else. At the time, I might have considered something with her, but later realized it would not have been a good dynamic since she had this 'older sister' attitude toward me and I would not have been able to get a word in edgewise.
