Amanda Holden gives brutal one-word reason for not fancying Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp’s just one of the blokes many of our mum’s would be swooning over while we grew up watching him as the iconic drunken Disney pirate.

And to be fair, that’s not exactly changed over the years as he’s continued to film mega movies, appear with a guitar at concerts and be at the centre of a televised court case with with some pretty serious allegations.

But not every mum out there fancies Depp – including Amanda Holden.

The Britain’s Got Talent judge is often slinging out her hot takes, whether people are bothered about hearing them or not.

And amidst the like of slamming Sharon Osbourne and making an unexpected comment about Paul Rudd, the 53-year-old has given a brutal one-word reason for not fancying Depp.

While much of Gen Z (and well, plenty of millennials I guess) have declared it a ‘rat boy summer’ as they crush on men with sharp, mouse-like features, Holden’s got her own type.

The mum says she leans more towards ‘horse-like’ features, swooning over her husband Chris Hughes’ ‘gorgeous’ hair, tall frame and ‘noble’ charm.

Holden was talking about ‘hot rodent men’ during her radio show, when a listener suggested Depp could be part of the ‘horse’ category of blokes.

But the BGT star simply wasn’t having it – she doesn’t fancy the Pirates of the Caribbean actor because he’s ‘smelly’ apparently.

She went all in as she said: “I dunno, I know that Johnny Depp is a bit smelly. So I don’t fancy him.”

There was actually a long-standing rumour years ago that Depp, well, stinks. And you know, like everyone does if they smell good, he went public to insist that he smells good.

While presenting an award back in 2016, he recalled an interaction with some strangers: “They said, ‘You do look like a hobo, but you smell really good'. And goddamn it, I smell really good!”

He apparently also claimed he wasn’t mad about so many people believing he stinks as he said he actually found it quite funny.

As Holden banged on about preferring ‘horse men’, her co-host Jamie Theakston jumped in to suggest that Liverpool Football legend Jurgen Klopp could be one of these horse blokes.

And listeners added that Sylvester Stallone could be one of these stallions too – pretty fitting if you ask me.

Well, gutted for you Depp, Holden doesn’t fancy you.
