The next year, Depp starred in three films. He played opposite [[Marlon Brando]] in the box-office hit ''[[Don Juan DeMarco]]'', as a man who believes he is [[Don Juan]], the world's greatest lover.

They signified not just a different kind of celebrity, but a different kind of masculinity: desirable but gentle, manly but girlish. Depp in particular was the cool pinup it was safe to like, and the safe pinup it was cool to like. We fans understood that there was more to Depp, Phoenix and Reeves than handsomeness.

According to film scholar Murray Pomerance, Depp's collaboration with Disney "can be seen to purport and herald a new era for Johnny Depp, one in which he is, finally, as though long-promised and long-expected, the proud proprietor of a much-accepted career; not only a star but a middle-class hero".<ref name="Lennard" /> In 2003, the same year as the first film in the ''Pirates'' series was released, Depp was named "World's Sexiest Man" by ''[[People (magazine)|People]]''; he would receive the title again in 2009.<ref name="Lennard" /> During the decade and into the 2010s, Depp was one of the biggest and most popular film stars in the world<ref name="Labrecque" /><ref name="NBC4 Washington" /> and was named by public vote as "Favorite Male Movie Star" at the [[People's Choice Awards]] every year for 2005 through 2012.
