Even though it was in Oliver Stone’s Platoon, Johnny Depp made his feature picture debut there in a modest supporting part. In 1989, he received his first break with the publishing of Edward Scissorhands, which is generally considered to be a dark romance novel. His attractiveness as a teenager, combined with the success of his first lead, ensured that he would have lots of opportunities to play in the future. His professional trajectory has been nothing but positive, and he has emerged as one of the world’s most recognizable people. Depp has been romantically linked to a number of high-profile celebrities, including Winona Ryder (Stranger Things) and supermodel Kate Moss. He has two twin daughters with his former wife, the French beauty Vanessa Paradis.

There’s nothing anyone, no matter how famous they are, can do to avoid the effects of aging and drinking on their appearance from taking their toll. Nowadays, rather than his physical looks, Depp’s popularity is based on his box office performance and acting ability, rather than his physical attractiveness. This did not prevent him from being declared the highest-paid actor in the world in 2012 and from being inducted into the Disney Hall of Fame the following year. His films have earned nearly $7 billion in worldwide box office revenue. It’s possible that Depp’s legal woes will become as widely recognized as his once-beautiful face in the coming years. Fans of the former heartthrob were taken aback by his recent (and very public) divorce from actress Amber Heard, which was announced in the media.
