Depp

This is an insightful book of Depp and his career. My y only complaint is that it was written before the Pirates Of The Carribean movies and Secret Window (an underrated gem). I would have liked to read about the making of those. Nonetheless, if you're a Depp fan, you'll like this.It's well written and the author has obviously interviewed him many times. It tells us in depth of the highs and lows of this great actor and pop culture icon.

Great read!

This book was great ! I learned a lot about Johnny and the people he has worked with over the years. But if you want a book ONLY on Johnny, this book might not be for you. This book will also teach you a little about Marlon Brando, Joe Pistone (Donnie Brasco), and Hunter S. Thompson. This book tells you EVERTHING you could ever possibly know about almost every one of Johnny's movies and himself. It is goes very in depth !!!

Learned nothing at all. Same old Information.

I bought this book not too long and throughly enjoyed it. The author Christopher Heard did a good job researching his subject and wrote a very detailed biography of one of todays most talented and dynamic actors. The book covers all aspects of Depp's life and career beginning in Kentucky where the actor was born and follows thru to the present. Johnny Depp has always been looked upon as a rebel and a troublemaker who no one really took seriously at the beginning of his career. He became a teen idol (which he dread) in the popular police drama 21 Jump Street. Depp remained with the series from 1987-1990 afterwards he decided not to renew his contract and concentrated on a career as a film actor. Never one to follow trends he insisted that after 21 Jump Street he would not be typecast playing pretty boy roles but following his own instinct. Today Johnny Depp is on the Hollywood A-list something that he can't hardly believe because of his choice of roles and the path his career has taken from the beginning never sticking to the norn but rather to the off beat. His life has been like rollercoaster ride but he is now living very differently more at peace with himself after he and girlfriend French singer Vanessa Paradis became a couple and had two children. This is a fascinating and well written biography of an actor who I've always thought as being underrated but nevertheless extremely gifted and versatile. He is in my opinion the finest actor of his generation and I believe he will continue to woo audiences and thrill critics with his excellent performances on film for a long time to come.

This biography is outstanding. It is about the life of the great actor Johnny Depp, who has been in such movies as Edward Scissorhands, Don Juan de Marco, Donnie Brasco, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. If you would like to know the absolute truth about Johnny Depp, what kind of person he really is, and what makes him such a remarkable actor, you must read this book. I already loved and admired him, but after reading this book, my respect for him grew tremendously. The main focus of this book is his career, and it goes into great detail about all of his movies up until 2001. (Pirates of the Caribbean, Secret Window, and Charlie & the Chocolate Factory are not included in this book) You will not only find out why he chose to do these movies, but you will also discover who chose him for these parts, what he did to come up with his characters, his relationships with co-stars and directors, and much more. There are tons and tons of quotes from co-stars about Johnny; what it was like working with him, what they think about him as an actor...I found this to be very interesting. You can absolutely tell that Christopher Heard went through a great deal of research for this book. Very impressive. It also covers Johnny's personal life, from his romantic interests, to his family life, his struggles, and his not-so-proud moments. This book sets the record straight. Additionally, it does include several small pictures, mostly in black and white, but there is also an 8 page section with full-page colored photos of Johnny as well. Please read this biography so you can give Johnny Depp the respect that he deserves. This book will give you proof that he is not only a talented actor, but a completely brilliant, creative, and sensitive man.

Have not read this book yet, once I do I will redo the feedback. Just received my book today, opened it and it has dirty fingerprints right on the first page. Disappointing especially during this time of Covid, hands should be clean!

Thats the kind of man I'm gonna marry!!!!!!! He is insightful, funny, serious and caring. A delightful actor. Again, thats the kind of man I'm going to marry.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and have read a few on the lovely Johnny Depp. I particularly like this one by Christoper Heard because it gives a real insight into the kind of man I have grown to admire for his skill in portraying characters and also the problems which we the public have created for him. I am so happy and pleased that he has found happiness with the lovely Vanessa and his beautiful children. Long may he reign to entertain us all. Love you Johnny
