From rebel cop to Cuban transvestite, Johnny Depp has always picked his
film roles from leftfield. It is as Tim Burton’s muse from Edward
Scissorhands to Sleepy Hollow that he has matured from teen idol with
soulful eyes to, well, everything from not-the-poet William Blake to
druggie gonzo journo Hunter S. Thompson. Never shy of the media
spotlight, his list of girlfriends is almost as impressive as his list
of directors. Next up, he’s a drug dealer with Elvis sideburns in Blow.
Promising for those of us addicted to his impeccably unpredictable
career.
