Johnny Depp's FAVORITE BOOK PICKS:

http://famouspick.blogspot.com/2009/03/johnny-depp-actor-screenwriter-director.html

 

  Johnny Depp, born in Kentucky on June 9th 1963 has followed a bizarre road, consequently landing him as one of today's top Hollywood actors.  Born John Christopher Depp II, young Depp was originally interested in pursuing a music career. Following a move to Florida, and his parents divorce by age 16, Depp strayed from his peers and siblings and reclused within a life of drugs and alcohol.  Teenage Depp dropped out of school to pursue a career in rock and roll music. Over the next few years, Depp fronted numerous garage bands - the most famous entitled The Kids, opened for Iggy Pop.  Perhaps more importantly, the success of The Kids furnished Depp with a rising sense of popularity and accomplishment - ironically shot down by Iggy Pop himself during a back-stage confrontation.

Determination and hope for stardom inspired the band to relocate to Los Angeles.  Depp married by age 20 to Lori Allison, the band's make-up artist.  As his band struggled among the competitive West-coast market, Depp (under suggestion from his wife) decided to try acting.  An introduction to Nicolas Cage reluctantly persuaded Depp to audition.  Depp's first film debut was in Wes Craven's major motion picture A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984).  Unable to regain momentum, The Kids spilt-up soon after the movie's release and Depp diverged from his first love, music, to follow a life of acting.  A small role in Platoon (1986) by Oliver Stone followed. Unwilling at first, Fox pursued Depp to star in a new series entitled 21, Jump Street.  Although Depp felt this show "beneath him," it actually catapulted his success as an actor and turned him into a teenybopper idol.

His next unanimously appraised piece was Edward Scissorhands (1990) - thought by Depp to downplay his unwanted pretty-boy reputation.  The success of this movie established his well known choice for odd and unusual roles - essentially carving a niche for himself as a serious and somewhat dark performer who always surprises audiences with his choice of roles.

His divorce to Lori Allison catalyzed engagements to multiple love interests including Sherilyn Fenn and Jennifer Gray.  His decision to take the role in Edward Scissorhands led to the start of a relationship with his then costar Winona Ryder.  Depp described her as "the one," despite their break up three years later.

Next came an extraordinary run of movie roles casted for Depp.  Within five years, starting in 1993, Depp starred in an array of movies including: What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Benny and Joon, Arizona Dreaming, Nick of Time, and Jim Jarmusch's Dead Man.  It was during this time of stressful success that Depp began to relapse.  Again, an unhappy Depp began using drugs and alcohol to escape from reality.  Stuck in the depths of disillusion, troubled Depp started an on-off relationship with supermodel Kate Moss (1996); almost simultaneously being arrested twice for both trashing his NY hotel room and fighting a member of the paparazzi (1999).  Although his life was in and out of shambles, on screen Depp continued to establish himself as an incredible actor.

In 1998, Depp split with supermodel Kate Moss and started a relationship with French singer Venessa Paradis, relocating to Paris with his two children (Lily-Rose and Jack) in hope to pursue a more normal life.  Ironically, the next role he played was perhaps one of the farthest from normal - casted as Hunter S. Thompson in Terry Gilliam's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.  Work opportunities continued and Depp continued acting, starring in such films as: The Source, The 9th Gate (shot in Paris where he met Paradis), Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow, and the Oscar nominated Chocolat; all the while, Depp managed to continue his musical interests by appearing in an array of music videos (including Tom Petty's "The Great Wide Open"), producing music with his band P, and directing several videos for his wife (2001)

Just what is it about that dang Johnny Depp? I don’t see how like every girl ever completely adores him.. but then again, I’m not a girl… I want to want Johnny like everyone else, I really do! Maybe someday I will fantasize about him.. it’s only a matter of time really; Johnny eventually gets the best of everyone, I’ve realised :p

He is magical, charming, mysterious and a versatile artist. He did so great in Sleepy hollow, and pirates of the carribean. He is going to be the most wanted actor, with his elegant and attractive personality and his ability to perform any role he is given.

Almost every straight man I know adores him… My lesbian grandmothers are crazy about him, of course. Maybe there’s something a little mysterious going on here…
