The Secret World Of Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp is Hollywood's best-loved rebel. In a career spanning two decades, he has endeared himslef to audiences as diverse as the roles he has played - adults, teenage girls, movie buffs and geeks alike have been charmed by his virtuoso eccentricity and willingness to take on unconventional films for a mass audience. From his debut in Nightmare on Elm Street, to Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow and Chocolat to the spectacular success of Pirates of the Caribbean, Johnny has reached a level of popularity with audiences and respect from critics that most actors merely dream of. His dashing good looks, early bad boy image, and a series of high-profile love-affairs have made Johnny's personal life a constant source of fascination - and speculation - and recent hits such as Finding Neverland, Corpse Bride, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Pirates of the Caribbean 2 have allowed him to retain his alternative credentials while at the same time enjoying the status of a true big-screen superstar. From his early days as a rock muscian to being one of the biggest names in film, this in-depth, candid and definitive biography gives us a rare glimpse into the secret world of a man whom there is much more to than meets the eye.
