From the iconic Captain Jack Sparrow to the eerie Mad Hatter, Depp's on-screen personas have become an integral part of modern pop culture.
Born on June 9, 1963, in Owensboro, Kentucky, Depp's early life was marked by instability and frequent relocations. His family eventually settled in Miramar, Florida, where Depp dropped out of high school to pursue a career in music. He played in several amateur rock bands, including the Rock City Angels, before transitioning into acting.
Depp's film debut came in 1984 with a minor role in Wes Craven's horror classic, A Nightmare on Elm Street. His breakthrough role, however, was as Officer Tom Hanson in the popular television series 21 Jump Street (1987-1990), which catapulted him to teen idol status.
Depp's collaborations with auteur directors have yielded some of his most memorable performances. His work with Tim Burton, including Edward Scissorhands (1990), Ed Wood (1994), and Sleepy Hollow (1999), has become iconic in modern cinema. He has also worked with directors like John Waters (Cry-Baby, 1990) and Terry Gilliam (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, 1998).
Depp's portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise (2003-2017) has grossed over $4.5 billion worldwide, cementing his status as a global superstar. Other notable films include Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007), and Finding Neverland (2004), for which he received an Academy Award nomination.
Depp is known for his charitable work, particularly in the area of children's healthcare. He has visited numerous hospitals and has been involved with the Starkey Hearing Foundation, which provides hearing aids to underprivileged children. In his personal life, Depp has been married twice and has two children with his former partner, Vanessa Paradis.
Throughout his career, Depp has defied typecasting, taking on a wide range of roles that showcase his versatility as an actor. From the eccentricities of Edward Scissorhands to the villainous Gellert Grindelwald in the Fantastic Beasts franchise, Depp continues to surprise audiences with his chameleon-like ability to inhabit his characters.
