The star of such films as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl usually prefers wearing glasses, but when it comes to making films, he often uses coloured contact lenses. These frequently give him an eccentric look, making his characters unforgettable. His Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland is a case in point.
Bright green contact lenses with a black outline immediately draw the viewer’s attention and effectively emphasise the character’s oddness. The Mad Hatter’s costume is equally colourful, but it is his eyes that immediately become the focus of everybody’s attention. Johnny Depp skilfully uses that, adjusting his acting making the part something to remember.
There is good news for those who would like to look like Johnny Depp in the film. Specially designed Mad Hatter Effect contact lenses are available for purchase. What is more, if the Mad Hatter look does not seem extraordinary enough, it is also possible to buy Cheshire Cat contact lenses, so all fans of Alice in Wonderland should be satisfied.
