LONDON:

John Mark Karr, the man alleged to have murdered a six-year-old girl, is keen to have Johnny Depp play him in the movie version of his life.

According to contactmusic.com, Karr was arrested on suspicion for murdering child beauty queen Jonbenet Ramsey but all charges were dropped against him.

Karr’s family has already sold the rights to the book of his life.

The Smoking Gun website posted transcripts of a conversation Karr had with a journalism professor. He said, “I already know the actor I want to play my part...Johnny Depp...He reminds me so much of me. And he looks like me. And he would play the part perfectly. Very similar to my personality except for the fact that Willy Wonka did not know how to treat children, he had no knowledge of how to be around children. It’s his look, it’s his age, it’s the fact that he’s an attractive man and he fits my part perfectly.”
