That topped the previous record of six consecutive³（连续不断的） years for Audrey Hepburn in the early 1960s in Screen's annual "Golden Grand Prix" readers poll⁴, which the magazine has been conducting since 1952.

Depp, who was named People magazine's "sexiest man alive" for a second time last year, picked up over 4,500 votes for top actor, more than double the number for "Twilight⁵" heartthrob（心跳，柔情） Robert Pattinson in second place. "Inglorious Basterds" star Brad Pitt was third.

"His popularity⁶ hasn't gone down since the time of the first 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movie," Screen's editor-in-chief, Akihiro Yonezaki said.

"He has such a wide fan base ranging from the younger generation to older people," he said, adding that Depp is able to grab⁷ audiences with roles in a variety of movies from family fare like "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" to serious films like "Public Enemies."

"Public Enemies," in which Depp plays 1930s gangster⁸ John Dillinger, was also chosen as best movie for 2009 in the survey, outgunning（火力压过） "Harry⁹ Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" at No.2 and "Twilight" in third.

Depp's next screen role is as the Mad Hatter in director Tim Burton's adaptation of "Alice in Wonderland," which opens on Friday in the United States and other markets and in mid-April in Japan.

The results of the survey appeared in Screen's April issue.
