Johnny Depp has been featured in over 64 films and he has played about every kind of role you can think of. In no particular order, here are five of our favourites.
Edward Scissorhands (Edward Scissorhands)
Edward Scissorhands is the first of many movies where Johnny Depp worked with director Tim Burton. It is definitely one of the more eccentric roles that he has played.
Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Caribbean)
It might be a little cliche, but how can we not put Jack Sparrow on here?
Traveller Roux (Chocolat)
Lasse Hallstrom directed one of Depp’s lesser-known films, Chocolat. It’s a beautiful romance about travellers who open up a chocolate shop in a small French town. If you ask me, anything with Jonny’s cheekbones and gourmet chocolate is absolutely worth a watch.
The Mad Hatter (Alice in Wonderland)
Johnny’s take on Tim Burton’s re-imagining of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland is fabulous. His whacky costume definitely contributes to the absolute pleasure watching him take on this role.
Raoul Duke (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas)
Drug-addled Raoul is one of the Johnny Depp roles people often forget about. He takes too much acid, trashes a hotel room, tries to drive back to LA then takes even more acid. The movie is essentially a two hour drug binge but it was destined to be a cult classic from the start.
