Best Of The Decade.!

Johnny Depp has been taking magazine covers by storm. First, he's on the cover of People's Sexiest Man Alive issue and now he's on Entertainment Weekly's Best of the Decade. I can see how he won the Best of the Decade…there are so many things he has done that should be taken note of.

In the last ten years Johnny has done roughly 21 movies. I guess you can't call him lazy. Some of my favorites from the last 10 years? Pirates of the Caribbean, Sleepy Hollow and Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. Johnny has stayed humble through it all. That's what is so amazing about him.

Depilicios Depp.

Teenage Depp dropped out of school to pursue a career in rock and roll music. Over the next few years, Depp fronted numerous garage bands - the most famous entitled The Kids, opened for Iggy Pop. Perhaps more importantly, the success of The Kids furnished Depp with a rising sense of popularity and accomplishment - ironically shot down by Iggy Pop himself during a back-stage confrontation.
Determination and hope for stardom inspired the band to relocate to Los Angeles. Depp married by age 20 to Lori Allison, the band's make-up artist. As his band struggled among the competitive West-coast market, Depp (under suggestion from his wife) decided to try acting. An introduction to Nicolas Cage reluctantly persuaded Depp to audition. Depp's first film debut was in Wes Craven's major motion picture A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984). Unable to regain momentum, The Kids spilt-up soon after the movie's release and Depp diverged from his first love, music, to follow a life of acting. A small role in Platoon (1986) by Oliver Stone followed. Unwilling at first, Fox pursued Depp to star in a new series entitled 21, Jump Street. Although Depp felt this show "beneath him," it actually catapulted his success as an actor and turned him into a teenybopper idol.
