Johnny Depp--Charisma and Mystique in One Hot Package

65

By Athlyn Green

Johnny Depp is one of the hottest actors around, oozing charisma and mystique from every pore. His smoldering eyes hint of facets of a personality that holds fans fascinated by all the nuances.

Depp started out as a musician but has carved a career portraying offbeat characters.

He starred in the television series, 21 Jump Street and then in the film A Nightmare on Elmstreet.

Other films followed, such as Platoon, Edward Scissorhands, and Ed Wood, to name a few. Depp says he chose characters/stories that appealed to him, instead of what had commercial potential.

Depp's standing as a major star solidified with his portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. The dashing and roguish character of Jack Sparrow captured attention everywhere and Depp was later nominated for an Academy Award for the role.

Depp continues a remarkable career and has earned distinction in the industry for exploring a "road less traveled," one that has contributed to his rise to fame and sealed his fate as a super star.

In all likelihood, Depp will go down as the "Brando" of this generation.

Hi Kenny,

Yes, he "made" Jack Sparrow. I love the fact that he crafted a character that studio experts weren't happy with, but that fans just loved.

And the way he moves and talks - real swashbuckler!

Hi Kenny,

Yes, he did look great--loved the beads in the hair. I think it's started a trend. What charisma he has.

I was going to plead sheltered life, until I read the titles. I now know who you are talking about
