Biography of John Christopher
The new talent of Hollywood Auteur cinema is called John Christopher Depp, was born on June 9, 1963 in Owensbora, a town of miners from Kentucky, and is the youngest of four brothers. After his birth the family moved to Miramar, Florida. Depp's first passion is music. At thirteen plays guitar and performing with a group of friends dubbed "The Kids". However, along with the love for the guitar also grows her exceptional beauty and charismatic force that convince him to switch to acting. Just 21 years old, so, here it is already on track to attempt the climb to movie star. His first film was "a Nightmare on Elm Street", where he has a part of the second floor. But important roles are not made to wait, producers from eyes long realize that behind that face gloom hides a sex symbol to be imposed in four four eight. Although the smooth surface and Depp is definitely not a brainless piece of work, as they then demonstrated his choices cinemtografiche. In 1986 in "Platoon" is one of the desperate Vietnamese jungle while his first starring role finally arrives in 1990, in the musical "Cry baby".
The notoriety comes into that same year with "Edward Scissorhands", postmodern fairy tale of Tim Burton, Director who transforms the career of actor, making it somehow his alterego. Here Depp is the vegetable slicer became a man, but with his hands still mechanics, which clashes with the "normal" world: the movie gets a big hit and launched the actor from his face by eternal teenager. In 1992 is the protagonist of "raising Arizona," as Axel, who rejects the American dream proposed cabinet by his uncle for a series of wacky friends. Continues the series of characters in kindred spirit with "Benny & Joon" (where is a mimic a bit wacky, that some attitudes retrieves the sadness chapliniana) and "happy birthday Mr. Grape", as a young oppressed by a family unbearable in a small town in Iowa. Depp points out his character ever in "Ed Wood", which Burton realized in 1994, where junk film director embodies the years ' 50, making credible the naivete and optimism of the character. In the same year alongside Marlon Brando in the role of an aspiring suicide and self-styled great seducer, full of fantasy in "Don Juan DeMarco".
Now they want it in many, this young man, loved by women (is always in the lead in the ranking of the sexiest celebrities) and by directors of worship. During these years they wanted money authors as John Badham, Jim Jarmusch, Mike Newell, Terry Gilliam, Roman Polanski, Sally Potter, Lasse Hallstrom, Julian Schnabel and Ted Demme. Environmental someone would say, "sorry if it shortly ...". Movies are always enhanced by critical, everyone appreciates its smart choices as its always extraordinary interpretations (in "Donnie Brasco" Newell duets on par with none other than Al Pacino). Moreover, it is only fair to mention that to turn "Benny & June" and "Gilbert Grape" rejected successes such as "Dracula," "Speed" and "interview with the Vampire". In 1996 he instead experimented with directing, conducting and interpreting (again alongside Brando) "the brave", story of a penniless and laconic Redskin who offers to interpret a deadly snuff-movie to secure a future for their families.
After marrying, for just over a year, Lori Anne Allison in 1985, undertook long and talks relationship with Winona Ryder and Kate Moss. In 1999 he married French actress Vanessa Paradis, pop-star who gave him two children in a very short time. Owner of the famous nightclub "The Viper Room", has been arrested countless times for his sudden excesses. In the early years 2000 acts in "Chocolat" (2000, Lasse Hallström), "Blow" (2001, by Ted Demme, in which she played the drug dealer George Jung), "the true story of Jack the Ripper" (From Hell, 2001). He is the protagonist of the 2004 edition of the Oscars with the film "the curse of the Black Pearl-Pirates of the Caribbean" (with Orlando Bloom) for which, however, does not get the figurine. In conclusion, as a summary of his personality what he wrote in his dictionary of Pino Farinotti cinema: "attractive and definitely has sex appeal, but not inclined to narcissism, you know, when the role requires it, pass these features into the background, showing flexible and demonstrating great interpretive sensitivity."
