Is Johnny Depp trying to come out of the closet about being gay lately?
Too many things make think about it:

1. He likes a lot to play characters with gay features: Jack Sparrow, Mad Hatter, Willy Wonka, Bom Bom, The libertine, Ed Wood, Ichabod Crane etc. He stated that all of his characters have something of himself and actually it seems that he really likes to play roles in which he can act feminine with ambiguous movements and a lot of makeup.

2. He jokes a lot about being gay and he made a fool of himself in several interviews like Vanity Fair one when He claimed that Disney is homophobic because it couldn't stand his gay pirate. He talks too much about enjoying in playing gay characters and his statements on Vanity Fair interview show He has gone off the deep end and needs help.

3. He did some ambiguous things like: caressing as a sweet lover the face of a musician of his old rock-band The Kids during a concert (you can search on youtube the video where they both are caressing each other) and like kissing on the mouth the director of the movie "Blow" (you can see it in a backstage of the dvd), but that's not all: He likely wears hanky code and He often wore a black ring on a finger that according to some traditions it's typically worn by homosexual couples...

4. He has flirted with men for some time on camera lately: He flirted with Jimmy Kimmel during an interview; He flirted with a man in the documentary For no good reason and he flirts a lot with some musicians (like his friend of The Kids) and others. Lately, during a concert with Marylin Manson, Depp didn't seem pissed off that Manson mimicked oral s-e-x just next to him when he was playing the guitar.

5. In these last years he likes a lot to wear eyeliner on his eyes not only when he plays a movie or when he does a concert. He gives the impression of being too much comfortable with makeup. He wears it in some interviews and in some photographic services but even when he's off-screen. We can see indeed some pictures of him when he's off-screen and posing with some fans where He has got eyeliner on his eyes like it was normal.

6. It has been rumoured for years (check it on web if you don't trust me) that he's always been experimental about sex and that he spent more time than anyone knows on his knees... so when a rumour becomes so insisting for years there's something true in it.

7. We have to be honest: he likes women who have a boy appearance or a tipical man body (shapeless) and maybe that's why He could stay with them. I mean, Winona Ryder looked like a man with short hair and Kate Moss and Vanessa Paradis are even worse because they have a shapeless body, with no breast and with no particular women features.

8. He split with Vanessa Paradis because He maybe wished to experiment new things. It's been rumoured a lot that they split about 2 years before make their public statement about being separated and I think it's true because they were rarely seen together in these last years. They lived in different countries come on, it's so evident that when He worked in U.s.a, she worked in France because they were often photographed so far from each other and if they really had a strong and happy relationship they would have spent most of time together but it's the contrary, they spent most of their time in separated countries. So maybe their relationship has been a fake for years. It was all a sham I think and come on, since their separation (from years) He doesn't date a woman and it's so clear because there have been only stupid rumours about him dating some girls... I mean He never dated Eva Green (she officially denied all the rumours) He never dated Amber Heard (they have never been photographed together anywhere, there's no evidence at all that they were dating because she has been only seen and photographed dating some girls) and He never dated Ashley Olsen because when He has been seen coming out of her home, she wasn't at home at all since she was at the Oscar ceremony so... all the rumours about him dating multiple women are just bull-****.

FOR ALL THESE POINTS I TALKED ABOUT WE DON'T NEED A GENIUS TO UNDERSTAND HE'S GAY AND MAYBE THAT'S WHY HE OFTEN GETS DRUNK. HE'S TRYING DESPERATELY TO COME OUT OF THE CLOSET. HE'S DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO MAKE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND HE FEELS MISERABLE BECAUSE HE CAN'T SAY CLEARLY HE'S GAY (BECAUSE PEOPLE AROUND HIM WOULDN'T LET HIM DO IT. THEY FEAR HE WOULD LOSE TOO MANY FANS IF HE WOULD DO IT) AND ALL YOU LADIES CAN ONLY DREAM ABOUT HIS SEXUAL PREFERENCES.
