Wow she is beautiful.
I can’t believe Johnny left Vanessa for this basic woman. She’s pretty, but really nothing special. As some said previously, she’s bland. Vanessa is so beautiful.
Amber looks beautiful but she’s just a dumb dumb that tries so hard to seem smart and bad ass and it’s just pathetic, because she just isn’t. She’s also a terrible actress. I have lost all respect for Johnny Depp since he got with her. He had a lovely family and Vanessa loved him, what he did to them was disgusting.
Oh please, Vanessa wishes she looked as good as Amber. Vanessa used to be cute back in the day, now she looks older than she really is. Not to mention that disgusting gap in her teeth, damn all that money and her teeth look like a homeless person’s. She looks like a witch, Johnny made the right choice.
I agree on the points you make regarding Vanessa’s appearance. And you’re right it’s crazy how she’s aged so badly – but I think she’s been a smoker probably most of her life, that’s what happens to smokers they get old fast. Amber is a beauty, there’s no denying that. That being said, I stand by what I said: I have no respect for Johnny Depp, he had a family with Vanessa and she loved him, just because she aged badly and now looks like a witch doesn’t mean he should run off and leave her and his kids for a younger prettier girl…it means he never had any true love for her or the kids. Oh and btw since we’re going by looks here: Have you seen what he looks like lately?? Amber is just using him because he’s considered an A lister in Hollywood and nobody would be talking about her if she weren’t married to him, her acting sucks big time – it’s a smart career move on her part. But she did wreck a family on the process, she’s not the only one to blame though.
that gap made her the face of many high fashion chains.. basically the key to her success just like eyebrows are for cara del.
pretty but bland
I see just English and German.
Yes of course the Irish, Welsh and Scots look so drastically different than the English. :) Most of the populations in Britain and Ireland have intermixed literally forever. People have very odd perceptions about populations which I’m not sure what the source is. All those places are extremely geographically close and have an intertwined history. It is not black and white. No population has the same sort of look there is usually the most common look and then people that can have a more unusual look but there is variety in all populations.
She even has my maiden name in her family tree.
When you say English, I assume you mean British.
What makes her looks “german and english”?
she looks french
Thought she must have some French in her too
