Johnny Depp Photo Album

Johnny Depp enjoys a fan base quite unlike any other modern-day star — grown women sigh over his sexiness, children adore him as Willy Wonka, hipsters relate to his subversive streak. The Johnny Depp Photo Album documents its subject’s unstoppable rise via a wealth of film stills and candid shots away from the set. It chronicles every step of Depp's career: cult films like Benny and Joon; current releases like the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Sweeney Todd; his drunken, bad-boy period; and his affairs with Winona Ryder and Kate Moss. It also reveals Depp’s life away from the madness of Hollywood - there are rare glimpses of his life partner, Vanessa Paradis, and their two children, whom he aggressively shields from the media spotlight. Through its irresistible array of color and black and white images, this strikingly designed tribute reveals the family man who just happens to be the greatest screen star on the planet.

From his beginnings as a cult actor in quirky films like Edward Scissorhands and Benny and Joon, Johnny Depp has attained a level of stardom and a fan base unlike that of any other modern-day screen star — he’s equally adored by adults who swoon over “the sexiest man alive” and children who love him as Willy Wonka. The Johnny Depp Photo Album illustrates his meteoric rise, from his early films and bad-boy behavior to his relationships with actress Winona Ryder and supermodel Kate Moss, culminating finally at his current peak in the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and the Oscar-nominated Sweeney Todd. Featuring a wealth of film stills and candid shots, the book also shows the screen icon's other side as he rejects his former days of high-profile hell-raising in favor of a quiet family life away from Hollywood with French singer Vanessa Paradis and their children.
