Two things have remained constant in Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp’s 20 years on screen: his taste for quirky, edgy roles and his smoldering good looks. Now in his forties, happily settled in France, and one of the world’s most respected actors, Depp would seem to have it all, yet his success is hard won. Johnny Depp: A Modern Rebel describes a complex young man whose troubled childhood and rebellious, drug-infused adolescence did not prepare him for the life of a celebrity heartthrob. Replete with details of his bad-boy antics, romantic romps, and volatile relationships, both on and off the set, the book also provides a serious analysis of Depp’s career and the fiercely independent, artistically adventurous roles with which he has chosen to define himself both as an actor and a man. The book also includes information on the actor's recent and forthcoming films.

From the Back Cover:
Johnny Depp is one of Hollywood's bad boys. With a seven figure income and a 10,000 letter a month fan following, he still refused to conform, never living in one place for more that a few weeks, sporting a tattoo on each arm, in and out of a marriage and three engagements by the age of 30. His part Cherokee ancestry has contributed to haunting good looks which have ensured him a devoted following in spite of his unsuitability as a role model.
