Johnny Depp Is the King of Autographs

According to Autograph Collector magazine who recently published their 14th annual best autograph list, the Pirates of the Caribbean star was chosen as the artist who gives the nicest sentiments for the second year in a row.

The magazine’s editor commented on Depp, saying, "Many stars become bad signers once fame and fortune hits, but not Depp. He’s even signed autographs for crowds at the airport while carrying luggage."

At the other end of the list is Cameron Diaz, who seems to insist on being a bad autographer.  "Cameron Diaz may be a talented actress, but she’s persistently a terrible signer. Instead of just turning down a person’s autograph request, she’ll lecture them about how dumb autographs are," the editor said.

Here is the top ten list of best autographs:

1. Johnny Depp
2. George Clooney
3. Matt Damon
4. Al Pacino
5. Tom Cruise
6. Angelina Jolie
7. Elijah Wood
8. Brittany Murphy
9. Jack Nicholson
10. Clint Eastwood

 

And the top ten of the worst:

1. Cameron Diaz
2. Bruce Willis
3. Demi Moore
4. Tobey Maguire
5. Alan Alda
6. Halle Berry
7. Winona Ryder
8. Teri Hatcher
