Gracing the cover of Vanity Fair's November 2011 issue, Johnny Depp is featured on the magazine set to hit newsstands nationwide on Wednesday, October 12.

The “Pirates of the Caribbean” stud shows off a clean-shaven face along with his tattooed arms as he proudly adorns the publication's front page.

Inside the issue, Depp revealed that he despises photo shoots while explaining, “You just feel like you’re being raped somehow. Raped. The whole thing. It feels like a kind of weird—just weird, man…. Whenever you have a photo shoot or something like that, it’s like—you just feel dumb. It’s just so stupid.”

On another note, Johnny goes on to to explain the reason behind taking on as many projects as he can. He tells, “Basically, if they’re going to pay me the stupid money right now, I’m going to take it. I have to. I mean, it’s not for me. Do you know what I mean? At this point, it’s for my kids. It’s ridiculous, yeah, yeah. But ultimately is it for me? No. No. It’s for the kids.”
