In 1983 high-school dropout Johnny Depp and his rock band The Kids moved from Florida to Los Angeles to make it big. But after the band found little success, Depp stumbled into a career in acting practically by accident when in his first-ever audition, he secured a leading role in A Nightmare on Elm Street. From there, he became known as a teenage heartthrob on 21 Jump Street and then an idiosyncratic Tim Burton collaborator in Edward Scissorhands and seven other Burton films, along with an astonishing array of other movies. But after his performance as Captain Jack Sparrow in the mega-blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean, Depp was transformed overnight into, in the words of his former agent, the “biggest star in the world.”
Pirates came at a steep cost—so much money and so much fame, and so very fast. Like his idols Hunter S. Thompson, Marlon Brando, and Keith Richards, Depp is one of the last true renegades, mixing his internal and external chaos with his art, his life rivaling the drama of the incredible collection of faces he’s worn onscreen. In recent years, his real life has taken center stage, with his divorce from Amber Heard and defamation suit against her, a livestreamed court battle that rallied millions behind #JusticeForJohnnyDepp. He emerged, in his words, “shunned, dumped, booted, deep-sixed, canceled.” Now, he’s making a comeback (though he rejects that word), appearing in at least two forthcoming films.
With insights from almost a hundred individuals who have known Depp, this biography traces the timing, talent, trauma, and sheer luck that transformed a rock-and-roll kid from Florida into a celebrity supernova.
