Johnny Depp’s Healthy New Lifestyle

Looks like our favorite pirate has cleaned up his act!  Not that it was ever that bad, but Johnny Depp has made some significant lifestyle changes lately that has him looking and feeling better than ever!  The actor, who picked up two awards at last night’s MTV Movie Awards (best comedic performance for “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End” and best villain for “Sweeney Todd“),  is eating healthier, working out, and has even cut back on his smoking habit.   When asked about these changes, Depp responded, “It must be clean living! I don’t know. I did a lot of sword-fighting training for Pirates Of The Caribbean. Learning to sword fight is a total body workout without any breaks. After 10 minutes, you’re ready to collapse. All that training made it mentally easier for me to want to stay fit.” Depp goes on to say, “But I do feel pleased that I’m in better physical shape because I’m a dad and I’ve got two kiddies who are rapidly growing up. I just hit 40 and I’ve been cutting down on my smoking, so you’ve got to do something to keep yourself active and overcome your nicotine deficit. Instead of having a cigarette, you dive in the swimming pool – or some other healthy activity!”

Even more proof of Johnny’s new lifestyle choices include his requests on the set of his new film, “Dillinger”.  The actor asked for a treadmill, weights, and a stability ball for his suite. He also wanted his refrigerator stocked with blueberries, strawberries, pineapple, kiwi, and soy milk. As far as his diet on set is concerned, Johnny asked for thoroughly cooked chicken breast, tuna packed in water, and hard boiled eggs.
