The talented actor's real-life story has similar twists and turns to those in some of the movies he's starred in throughout his career. Depp had musical aspirations in his early years, but he soon discovered the appeal of the big screen. After being a teen idol, the versatile actor found success in a series of box-office hits. His unique ability to bring characters to life has included high-profile collaborations with top directors and a lucrative relationship with the Disney team in the 'Pirates of the Caribbean series. While he has established a solid reputation for knowing what moviegoers want, Depp has also a penchant for choosing projects based more on the challenge of the role rather than the potential for box-office success.

He has received various awards and accolades for his phenomenal performances, including a Screen Actors Guild Award and a Golden Globe Award.
