A despeito de ser um dos grandes atores de Hollywood, Johnny Depp rejeita o rótulo de astro e cultiva uma trajetória praticamente alheia ao glamouroso mundo da indústria cinematográfica. A despeito do rótulo de galã, ele resistiu à tentação de aceitar papéis simples e românticos, preferindo os que refletissem sua forma excêntrica de ver a vida. E, de fato, as atuações que mais arrebataram plateias por todo o mundo foram de personagens singulares como Edward Mãos de Tesoura ou Ichabod Crane, de A lenda do cavaleiro sem cabeça. Participações marcantes em recentes megaproduções cinematográficas, como Alice no País das Maravilhas e a franquia Piratas do Caribe, contribuíram para aumentar seu fã-clube por todo o mundo. Da adolescência marcada pelas drogas e pela autodestruição aos romances com celebridades como Kate Moss e Winona Ryder, o ator teve experiências marcantes reveladas pelo jornalista Danny White através de uma ampla pesquisa de entrevistas cedidas a TV, jornais e revistas especializadas. Esta biografia não autorizada esboça sua extraordinária jornada de aluno rebelde a ídolo adolescente e ator premiado, um dos mais talentosos e adorados ícones cinematográficos de nosso tempo.
