Johnny Depp Says He Actually Enjoys Aging

VENICE, Italy - Unlike legions of other Hollywood stars, hipster heartthrob Johnny Depp says he actually enjoys aging. The boyish-looking Depp - who plays the author of "Peter Pan" in his latest picture "Finding Neverland" - was asked if the children's character famed for never growing old made him wish for the same power.
"Nowadays, it's all a question of surgery, isn't it?" he joked to reporters at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday.
"No, of course the notion is beautiful - the idea of staying a boy or a child forever. But I think you can. I've known plenty of people in their later years who were like little kids, had the energy of little children, the curiosity and fascination. I think we can keep that. It's important we keep that," he said.
"But I think it's great fun growing old. I think it's great."
Depp also discussed the Scottish accent he assumes for his role as writer J.M. Barrie.
"Musically, rhythmically, I initially couldn't quite get a hold of it," he said. "Luckily I found this dialect coach who helped me out a great deal. ... Also, we had a couple of crew guys who were Scottish who picked up the falsities."
