Hunter S Thompson

This question would be best answered by one of the most famous people who loved Johnny Depp, Hunter S Thompson. Thompson was an American journalist and writer who was very well known for his work in the counterculture movement of the 1960s. He became a pioneer in Gonzo journalism – a style that is described as a type of journalism where the reporter plays an active role in events rather than being a detached observer or documentarian. Hunter S Thompson famously coined the term Gonzo himself and he created it from Go, which stands for things you see; No, which stands for commentary, since at times Hunter used to describe what he was thinking about what he was writing about; and Zo, which is short for drugs. It’s also said that gonzo came from gonzho, a Tibetan word meaning to make believe. It has been speculated this phrase comes from making believe you are someone else while doing something mischievous like walking around town naked.

Edward Scissorhands

Johnny Depp always seemed to be a man of the arts, and was often seen as the quirky outsider. It was because of this that he was cast in Edward Scissorhands, which quickly became his most well-known role. In Edward Scissorhands, he plays a young man who is created with scissors for hands by an inventor (Anthony Hopkins) who abandons him soon after. He learns how to use them, and becomes a kind-hearted person with scissors for hands, though some people are too scared or uneducated about what it is like to have scissors for hands, and so they shun him. The movie follows his life from childhood through adulthood as he meets various people in his life who help shape him into who he is meant to be. When he first came out, Edward Scissorhands gained many fans, especially among teenage girls who would see him as the perfect man. Some say it is because they can look up to someone with a disability and know that there is still hope in their lives despite any physical or mental disabilities they may face. Others say it’s just simply because he’s good looking. What do you think?

Gilbert Grape

Johnny Depp is one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood and has been for decades, but he had to start somewhere. He was born in 1963 in Kentucky and moved around the country with his military family before settling down in Miramar, Florida. In high school, he played football and acted in plays. After graduating from high school, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career as an actor. One of his first roles was playing Gilbert Grape (Johnny was only 19 years old) in the movie What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. The role earned him critical acclaim and an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actor. He went on to play Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, which earned him another Academy Award nomination for best actor.

Don Juan DeMarco

Johnny Depp is an actor who has starred in many movies and TV shows. One of his most famous roles was that of Don Juan in the movie, Don Juan DeMarco. This movie is about a psychiatrist who meets a patient named Vicente, played by Johnny Depp, who claims to be the real Don Juan from legend. The doctor then becomes more and more convinced that this crazy guy might actually be telling the truth. Eventually they come to an agreement- Vicente will lie down on a couch and recount his life story while Dr. Markowitz (played by Marlon Brando) asks questions like a shrink would do in traditional therapy sessions… As Vicente tells his story, he periodically returns to the present time where he believes he is still with Dr. Markowitz. Throughout the whole process, Dr. Markowitz slowly realizes that not only is Don Juan DeMarco living vicariously through Vicente’s story but also may have some profound insight into who Don Juan really was.
