In July’s Vanity Fair , Johnny Depp shows off his 45-acre private Bahamian island, Little Hall’s Pond Cay, which he calls his “decompression.” Says Depp, “It’s my way of trying to return to normalcy. Escapism is survival to me.” See what Johnny Depp and other stars look like as cartoons Little Hall’s Pond Cay features six different beaches, named after Depp’s partner, Vanessa Paradis , and their children, Lily Rose, 10, and Jack, 7, as well as his mentors Hunter S. Thompson and Marlon Brando . He also deemed one patch of water “Heath’s Place” after the late actor Heath Ledger. (Depp plays an incarnation of Ledger in the fantasy movie, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus , due later this year.) Look back at Heath Ledger’s life The island features several small residences, all solar-powered, and transportation consists of a fleet of green golf carts. “I don’t think I’d ever seen any place so pure and beautiful,” says Depp, who headlines the July thriller Public Enemies . “You can feel your pulse rate drop about 20 beats. It’s instant freedom. And that rare beast—simplicity—can be had. And a little morsel of anonymity. Whenever I was getting frustrated about being ‘novelty boy’ and making movies, I told myself, ‘Calm down. I can come down here and disappear.’ I spent the Christmas season here with Vanessa and the kids. You can feed hot dogs to the nurse sharks in the Exumas — but it’s best to not swim when doing it.” See what your favorite stars looked like before they were famous He says he looks forward to his kids growing up on the island, “spending months out of the year here … learning about sea life and how to protect sea life … and their kids growing up here, and so on. Theoretically, this place can add years to your life.” Check out Johnny Depp and Hollywood’s sexiest dads Then, quoting an old adage, Depp says: “Money doesn’t buy you happiness. But it buys you a big enough yacht to sail right up to it.”

So it looks like Vanity Fair is back playing in their creative sandbox as they’ve launched a new set of photos called Comedy’s New Legends , featuring some of today’s favorite comedic actors and actresses dressed up (and down) to resemble their favorite big-screen legends. There’s Seth Rogen as Frida Kahlo, Danny McBride as Jack Nicholson in The Shining , Will Arnett as Han Solo, Russell Brand as Charlie Chaplin, Paul Rudd as Gene Wilder in Young Frankenstein (my personal favorite), and Bill Hader, Anna Faris, Jason Bateman and Leslie Mann as The Honeymooners, among others. Above you will find the image that kicks off VF’s latest series, which is a throwback to another (much sexier) Vanity Fair cover featuring the naked bodies of women like Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley. Instead, this time around, we get Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill and Jason Segel in skin-toned body suits. (Thank you Vanity Fair for not allowing them to get naked, because one imagines they totally wanted to go that route.) Check out some of our favorites in the gallery below, and the rest over at Vanity Fair .
