There are many famous people that i admire. most of them are talented in one or more fields. they lead a busy life, travelling from one place to another to meet their fans. my favourite celebrity is johnny depp. although he had starred in many interesting movies, his best role was captain jack sparrow in the pirates of the caribbean. in my opinion, he is a multi-talented person. apart from being a famous actor, he is a film producer and a musician. at the moment he is 51 years old, but he doesn’t look his age. i would assume he is only 30 or 35. he was born in kentucky, the usa, in a poor background. his family often moved from one place to another, because of his father’s job. when he was 15, his parents divorced. he started dreaming about the career of a rock star at the age of 12, when his mother bought him a guitar. he then joined various garage bands to come closer to his dream. the first big movie where he starred was “nightmare on elm street”, although he had taken some smaller parts before. he became really popular after appearing in television series for teens “21 jump street”. i also liked his performance in “charlie and the chocolate factory” and “alice in wonderland”. i know that johnny depp has been nominated for major acting awards many times, although his best achievement is the golden globe award. he has a certain style of acting, which distinguishes him from the crowd of other actors. i like his manner of conduct at the ceremonies or during the interviews. he seems to be a level-headed and reserved person. by the way, acting is not his only passion. he also grows grapes and makes his own wine.
