Johnny Depp
Born: 1963
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.
