Johnny Depp, You Had Me At 'Cheap Stroller'

Posted by sweatpantsmom

So sue me, but Johnny Depp does absolutely nothing for me.  While most women fantasize about taking him home and having their way with him, the only reason I'd like to take him home would be to point him to the shower armed with a good loofah and some strong detergent. 

But then I saw this picture of Depp, singer Vanessa Paradis and their son Jack and I have to admit my heart melted just a little. No, it wasn't the gentle, guiding hand he has on Paradis' shoulder, or the  fact that it's the first picture I've seen of Depp in years where he doesn't look like he'd just been dipped in oil.

It was the stroller he's pushing, an unpretentious, ordinary stroller that even mere mortals could afford. While Tori Spelling prances around town with a $3000 monstrosity, Depp and Paradis are out walking with what appears to be a modest Graco Glider, which retails for $79.00.  I figure if Spelling had bought one of these instead, she would've had $2921 left over to put towards Baby Einstein tapes.

Okay, Johnny, I have to admit now that you are kind of cute.  Which just goes to prove that, contrary to popular belief, sometimes the way to a girl's heart is through a cheap set of wheels.

Wow, thanks for posting this. I hate to say I care, but I am usually a little embarrassed when I'm pushing our hand-me-down Graco. Now I feel a wee bit better!

Hand-me-down Graco's ROCK!  I've been nothing but thrilled with the frame that I can snap my baby's carseat into.  Great taste, Johnny!

Love it! I've always thought it was insane to spend thousands on a stroller, even if you could afford it.

Do they have a new baby?  Or is this an old picture?  I'm just confused by the SnugRide in the stroller.

Oh, man, now all of a sudden I'm cool!  We had a cheapo Graco for Boyo when he was a baby, too.

But why are they dressed like it's winter?

And yes, what's up with the infant seat?
