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.

This is by far the best book about Johnny Depp. You can tell that Christopher Heard truly respects Johnny. If you can only buy one book about Johnny make it this one. I hope he will continue to update this as Johnny continues to amaze us with his uncompromising performances as one of, if not the best, actors of his generation.

Great read!

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.

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.

First I like to apologize if there's any mistake or difficulty in understanding my review because I'm from Germany.The book written by Christopher Heard was one of the best items I've ever read dealing with Johnny Depp, although it's not very actual, because the reports are stopping in the year of 2001. But the young Johnny Depp and his efforts, troubles, inspirations and interests during his younger life and career are very well reported. All the films and projects he was involved with are mentioned in chronological order and with a lot of empathy. I really adore Johnny Depp for a long time for many reasons and I know a lot about him and there is really not a single fact in this book that is to be contradictory , every word is true and written with respect. Thank you, Mr. Heard, I appreciate. Besides the book is very interesting and pleasant to read and worth the money, I think.

This book talks a lot more about his movies and whatr he did in them/for them then hid personal life. But, it does talk about his relationships and has a whole chapter (named 1410) on his hotel trashing arrest.I liked that it talked about his childhood. Also, it potrayed him not as a "Bad Boy" but as a really nice guy who has been a target of the tabloids. Seriously people, get this book! I laughed quite hard in a few places. Also, this book came out before POTC so its not one of those type of books (the kind that go on about how he is such a rebel and if asked about Ed Wood or Chocolat they would go "What? Johnny Depp was in that??").

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
