Johnny Depp fears sudden end of acting career

Hollywood superstar Johnny Depp fears that his days in Hollywood are numbered despite his long and successful career as an actor.

`The Pirates of The Caribbean` star who is one of the highest paid actors of all times is amazed that his career has lasted so long, reported Contactmusic.

"I never dreamed I would get this far and stay around for so long. In fact I always wonder when I`m going to be rumbled and sent packing. It could happen tomorrow, so I`m just deeply, deeply grateful for the jobs I get," said Depp who first shot to fame with the 1984 teen horror movie `Nightmare on Elm Street`.

The 45-year-old actor who has two children with French actress Vanessa Paradis said that he hallucinates about ending up working at a gas station.

"I fear I might still end up playing guitar in some bar someplace. Or pumping gas? I honestly believe it`s a miracle I still get jobs," added the actor.

Depp is not the only actor who credits luck for their success stories, `Harry Potter` actor Daniel Radcliffe had previously said that it was good fortune and not exceptional talent that worked wonders for him.

"I got where I am by dumb luck. I know most actors hoped for a job, and then found themselves between jobs. For me, it was a great job at 11. I`m a person who got lucky very young," the actor had said.

Pamela Bianca is the sister of the Miss World 2002 finalist Katherine Ann Manalo. During the Bb.

Yes! In fact the pageant was created by business tycoon Donald Trump for several advocacies like increasing HIV/AIDS awareness by focusing on women's health and reproductive issues. By forging relationships with organizations committed to research and education such as the Latino Commission on AIDS, God's Love We Deliver, PSI/YouthAIDS and Gay Men's Health Crisis.

Pamela Bianca Manalo at Miss Universe 2009 Pageant

I am all support for Miss Philippines, Pamela Bianca Manalo, for winning the crown of Miss Universe 2009 that is now being held at the Atlantis Paradise Island in Nassau, Bahamas (my dream destination). I have seen her interviews and I believe that Miss Manalo has a big chance of getting the coveted title. She is beautiful, statuesque, graceful, poised, intelligent and every inch a Filipina. She is also a firm believer in the Lord.

Early on, pageant experts have already picked Bianca as one of their favorites. In many websites, she ranks either among the top 10 or top 15 of the contestants, out of the total of 83 beautiful ladies from all over the world. Being able to catch the eye of the international press is already a plus factor for our local stunning beauty.

Bianca hails from a family of beauty queens. Her sister, Katherine Anne Manalo, who is now Mrs. Hernandez, was among the Top 10 finalists of Miss World 2002. Meanwhile, her aunt, Nini Licaros, was also among the Top 15 semi-finalists in the Miss International 1968. But probably, among them, Bianca might be the one to bring home the international crown.

In the local Binibining Pilipinas pageant, Bianca bagged the Best in Swimsuit award plus other sponsor awards.

Will Bianca Manalo win tonight? Let us wait and see. Meanwhile, I offer a prayer up for her.
