13 h, jun 1, 2012 y - MTV Johnny Depp To Receive MTV Generation Award At MTV Movie Awards

Description:

For nearly four decades now, Johnny Depp has been the definition of Hollywood cool, bringing his own iconic style to life on the small screen (in "21 Jump Street"), in cult faves like "Ed Wood" and "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," and in big-screen smashes like "Sleepy Hollow," "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and, of course, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise.

So, in recognition of his achievements -- and all that classic cool -- Depp will be honored with the MTV Generation award at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards, broadcasting live on Sunday, June 3 at 9 p.m. ET from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California.

And as part of the celebration, dynamic duo the Black Keys will perform a special rendition of their hit "Gold on the Ceiling" in Depp's honor.
