Product Description

Schoolboy misfit to hedonistic rock-star rebel; then TV teen pin-up to Oscar-nominated actor; tempestuous high-profile relationships with, among others, Winona Ryder and Kate Moss; then at last happiness with Vanessa Paradis. This is the story of Johnny Depp, a complex charismatic man and compelling actor, who has always played by his own rules, but who, two decades into an uncompromising, and at times off-beat career, is now one of Hollywood's biggest stars. This book traces that extraordinary journey.

Customer Reviews

Interesting and doesn't ramble
I read this book in about two days - so it can't have been bad! Johnny Depp's life is laid out in an easy to follow fashion with details on the films he's been in, why he chooses the slightly oddball roles he does and his loves, past and present. My only downer is that some of the photos are quite grainy.

Must Buy
This book is great it tells you everything you would wan't to know about Johnny Depp.It is full of realy good pictures nearly all of them in color and they are excellent quality(not grainy like the other review say's,must of left it in the sun to long?)If you like Johnny Depp you'll like this it's very upto date aswell it goes all the way up to Sweeny Todd but it does even mention Public Enimies to.
