Johnny Depp on the cover of Esquire. He is pictured with director Tim Burton who he has worked with a number of times. You’ll be able to see their most recent collaboration in a theater near you in the form of Sweeney Todd.
It’s been a bizarre and bumpy road for Johnny Depp. He tried to be a rock star, only to see his band split. He moved into serious acting, only to have his credibility destroyed by accidentally becoming a teen pin-up.
Then, defying his idol-status, he threw himself into the cinematic underground and slowly, slowly proved himself to be one of the most adventurous and genuinely bohemian actors of his generation.
He is known for choosing diverse roles in a variety of genres, including Captain Jack Sparrow in the action-adventure film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, a cop who infiltrates the Mob in the drama Donnie Brasco, the corrupt CIA Agent Sands in the action movie Once Upon a Time in Mexico, a reclusive germophobe in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and the drug fueled gonzo-journalist Hunter S. Thompson in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
