Johnny Depp’s handsome face and perfect physique wasn’t rockin the cover of just any ordinary young scandalous magazine last week. The Hollywood hunk was on the cover of “The American Association of Retired Persons” magazine also known as, AARP magazine. AARP magazine welcomed Johnny Depp to the 50+ club after his birthday on June 9th.
Believe it or not, THE Captain Jack Sparrow is now 50 years old, Sheesh, who knew!? Unfortunately, this is a big reality check for us all: the chances of one of us marrying this babe is becoming extremely slim.
Well, I had to dig deep, but I found a few hidden secrets as to how this gem keeps himself looking so youthful, and I’ll tell ya ladies, it’s not the anti-aging face cream.

Johnny Depp is known to take the more challenging route and that goes for his fitness and health as well, but what would you expect? He is a pirate after all. Several write-ups on Depp stated he was vegetarian, recently taking up a vegan diet, practices Pilates and Yoga, and has dieted on green tea.
Johnny Depp isn’t known for drastic weight fluctuations for his film roles, but to nail his vampire role in “Dark Shadows,” Depp chose to take on a more gaunt look. It was reported by several sources that Johnny Depp turned to a green tea diet and looked to munch on “low fructose fruit” such as pineapples and strawberries to drop down to about 140 lbs.
We are NOT suggesting that gulping down gallons of green tea everyday will magically make you skinny, but a cup of green tea does include various health benefits! Dr.Gullo.com states “green tea is a healthy addition to any diet. It can help promote digestion, regulate blood sugar levels, and even improve heart health. Green tea is also a diuretic, which means that it helps the kidneys remove excess water from the body. Some studies have also shown that green tea extract (specifically, the polyphenols) may help boost the metabolism and improve the body’s ability to burn fat.”
Try having a cup of hot green tea to complement a nutritious, balanced meal after a vigorous workout!
