FILM fans might currently not be able to enjoy big screen blockbusters during lockdown but they’re certain about which movie legend would help make social isolation a bit more bearable.
Cinemagoers from Wales would choose Johnny Depp as their favourite lockdown partner, according to a study by Showcase Cinemas.
In a nationwide poll, fans in Wales chose Johnny – star of The Pirates of the Caribbean – as the big screen celebrity who they’d most like to be locked down with. Depp pipped Chris Hemsworth – famous for playing Thor in The Avengers movie franchise – to the title in a closely fought contest between two of the big screen’s biggest stars.
Men In Black and Independence Day star Will Smith came third in the poll, closely followed by Scarlett Johansson and Jennifer Lawrence (who both polled 11%).
Twice as many film fans would rather spend lockdown with a funny actor or actress (32%) than a physically attractive actor or actress (15%), the study reveals. While men mostly voted to spend their lockdown with a physically attractive movie star (22.5%), women overwhelmingly opted to spend it with a funny actor (42%).
