{"product_id":"the-many-faces-of-johnny-depp","title":"The Many Faces Of Johnny Depp","description":"\u003cb\u003eStep inside the mad, mad world of Johnny Depp—one of Hollywood’s most famous, unique, and controversial actors of all time—and find the story of his unconventional life, career, and comeback from Mark Seal, the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author of \u003ci\u003eLeave the Gun, Take the Cannoli.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 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 Hollywood practically by accident when in his first-ever audition, he secured a leading role in \u003ci\u003eA Nightmare on Elm Street\u003c\/i\u003e. From there, he became known as a teenage heartthrob on \u003ci\u003e21 Jump Street\u003c\/i\u003e and then an idiosyncratic Tim Burton collaborator in \u003ci\u003eEdward Scissorhands\u003c\/i\u003e and seven other films, along with an astonishing array of other movies. But after his performance as Captain Jack Sparrow in the mega-blockbuster \u003ci\u003ePirates of the Caribbean\u003c\/i\u003e, Depp was transformed overnight into, in the words of his former agent, the “biggest star in the world.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003ePirates\u003c\/i\u003e 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 on-screen. In recent years, his real life has taken center stage, with his divorce from Amber Heard and defamation trial, 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46078769660095,"sku":"9781668046432","price":49.49,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/1689\/8751\/files\/460472-7731c5fb2260a1cbf4a38d1eca023f1e0471b49ab8d9a163e48b8f34b8e56ee6.jpg?v=1787515685","url":"https:\/\/www.popweasel.co.nz\/products\/the-many-faces-of-johnny-depp","provider":"Pop Weasel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
