Romantic roles 'really bore me to death': Johnny Depp

Washington, Apr 18 : If there's one genre that fans will never see Johnny Depp act in, it would be romance, for the actor thinks it's just too boring.

Depp, who became a darling of the big screen with Tim Burton's 1991 fantasy epic 'Edward Scissorhands', is know for gravitating towards quirky kind of roles.

And, he insists that he will not take a romantic lead, as he only feels the 'fun factor' with his darker roles.

"I wouldn't want to be in a romantic film, where it's about the boy meeting the girl, losing the girl, and getting her back. That would really bore me to death," Contactmusic quoted him, as saying.

"There is a dark side in me, like in each one of us. I only feel the fun factor when turning to a dark role, like in my most recent film Sweeney Todd," he added.

Depp's other more famous roles include those in 'Sleepy Hollow', 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory', 'Pirates of the Caribbean'.
