Overview

When he moved from teen show hit 21 Jump Street to starring in movies, the young Johnny Depp was determined to carve out a personal niche in the film industry. Lead roles in quirky hits like ""Edward Scissorhands"" and ""Cry Baby"" quickly made him a cult, his name associated with idiosyncratic moviemakers from Tim Burton and John Waters to Roman Polanski. But since his unforgettable characterisation of Captain Jack Sparrow in Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise, the cult movie actor has attained a superstar status unheard of since the Golden Age of Hollywood. The ""Johnny Depp Photo Album"" follows the unstoppable rise of its subject: through all the movies and the drunken bad-boy behaviour, the romantic affairs with actress Winona Ryder and supermodel Kate Moss, to his current peak in films like ""Pirates"", ""Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"" and the forthcoming ""Sweeney Todd"". Featuring a wealth of film stills and candid shots away from the set, it also shows the other side of the screen icon: rejecting his former life of high-profile hellraising, Depp has chosen to live away from the madness of Hollywood and devote himself to his family. As this book sweetly illustrates, Johnny Depp has found the meaning of life itself in his relationships with his photogenic partner, French singing star Vanessa Paradis, and their children, who he aggressively shields from the media spotlight. This eyecatchingly designed tribute introduces us to the family man who also happens to be the greatest screen star on the planet.
