Strange roles that no star would dare to consider; themes that look out of the world; this is the perfect place to look for Johnny Depp, the non conformist. Pirates of the Caribbean and dead man’s chest have earned this actor a permanent place in the heart of the movie buffs. These movies are box office hits as well. Critical acclaim has it that any body except him would have wasted these excellent movies.
This school drop out once aspired to become a rock star but later abandoned that hope. Thankfully for him the much needed break came from Nicolas Cage, and credit must be given to his ex wife for introducing him. So the movie the nightmare on Elm Street was released and all hell broke loose. Horror movies began to be looked up on from a different perspective. He gave a new dimension to acting in a horror movie and enthralled the audience world over. That is why we no more talk of Hitch Hock and refer to the Elm Street when it comes to the horror movies. Credit must go to Depp for making this movie a hall mark of horror movies. Then came Edward Scissor hands, with Depp performing a complicated role with consummate ease.
Born in Kentucky in the year 1963 he has a body not even twenty year old men could dream of. He is surprisingly fit for a forty five year old man. When you see him in the pirates of the Caribbean you do not assign him an age that is more than 25. The stunt scenes performed by him are breath taking and were an instant hit among movie goers.
Several TV movies and Hollywood movies later Depp was still unsatisfied. He always thought that the best in him was yet to come. The third part of the film pirates of the Caribbean raked in a cool one hundred and forty million dollars. Depp has proved beyond doubt that he is a successful actor. He is also the proud winner of a golden globe award for his performance in the Demon barber of Fleet Street.
He also has acted in science fiction movies where he handles an entirely different role with confidence that only Depp could match. He has done much to the field of acting than any one has. Depp takes risks that an ordinary producer would never take. Much of his success has come from such wild risks.
Surely, you can not expect Johnny Depp to be a contended man when it comes to his exploits in romance. He has married quite a few women and divorced them as fast as he married them. He obviously likes to take his risks in his romantic life as well.
Johnny Depp has come a long way now. Looking back this school dropout can proudly say that he has achieved something. The truth is that he has shown a new dimension to acting for the aspiring stars of the Holly wood.
