Celebrity Pay Dirt
Johnny Depp to Do Penthouse

Land Ho! Captain Jack Sparrow is sailing into a swanky loft in glamorous downtown L.A., mateys!
Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp, the super suave A-Lister has been living in France for years, and now he's just plunked down about $2 million on a penthouse loft at the newly converted Eastern Columbia building. TMZ spies say the Francophile's new pied-a-terre at the turquoise Art Deco landmark, features private decks, sweeping views of downtown and the San Bernardino mountains.

Johnny's new downtown neighbors include "Grey's Anatomy" Star T.R. Knight and Oscar nominee Ryan Gosling.

A rep for Depp did not immediately return our request for comment.

17. Actually live in this building and we did see him and his rep. looking. The penthouse in question is amazing 3 stories and really out of control. The remaining penthouses are a bit higher at 2.2 and above.
#12 the building was built in 1930 and was a dept. store for many years the building is not new and is also deemed a historical landmark.

21. DTLA, When did he look at the penthouse?
Maybe it's for a family member.

22. Fabulous art deco architecture. I'm glad some of the old buildings downtown LA are finally being saved. Many were demolished too quickly.

23. That's one ugly building - don;t they have any code enforcement laws in L.A.??

24. Get off this site Huge Ho. I'm not sure where you belong, but you don't belong here. We don't give a damn that you will do anything. You sound like a sick trip to me. If you had anything anyone wanted, you would't have to advertise.

25. I wonder why Johnny bought a penthouse when he has a lovely home not too far from there? Are you sure TMZ??

26. So TMZ you say the blogs must pertain to the subject, which in this case is Johnny Depp. You say inappropriate or promotional comments may be removed. So who is Huge Ho on this site. Do your job TMZ and get her out of here.

28. Awwww what's the matter Lexie? you sound so bitter. You jealous or something? Johnny has no intentions of leaving Vanessa or his kids, but if it were to happen, he would take care of them. He adores his family, including Vanessa. get a life.

29. Wish Johnny's pirate side kick, Orlondo Bloom would move here too. Maybe we could find some good movies for them to do together until they come up with another Pirates.

30. I'm not suprised that he'd live here. A building that's one of the best examples of art deco in LA would be desired by many people with interesting taste. I know this building and it's amazing. I'd love to live there. It's a gritty neighborhood that is up and coming - sounds about right for him.
