Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp is a supporting character in the novel "最佳影星" inspired by the celebrity persona of Johnny Depp.

Personality
He is known across Hollywood for having an odd and eccentric personality.

Volume 4 (2002)
He was paid $10 million to play the role of Jack Sparrow, one of the two male leads of the film Pirates of the Caribbean, alongside Matthew Horner, but his role was initially much bigger and more important than Matthew's. During the training, he was easily defeated by Matthew even when he didn't use much strength. As a result, the director Gore Verbinski and the producer Jerry Bruckheimer decided to modify Matthew's role and make him be the main fighter of the movie.

One night, after filming, Johnny Depp took Matthew to his nightclub, The Viper Room, where he introduced him to his friends, Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron; after a night of drinking, Matthew became friends with Keanu and Charlize.

In the latter half of the filming, the crew went to the Caribbean to film the scenes surrounding the pirate ship - the Black Pearl. In the Caribbean, Johnny Depp took Matthew to a bar almost daily where the two got drunk. During one of the scenes, the main cast got on a speedboat to reach the ship in the ocean, however, the speedboat was hit by some rocks underwater which led to boat leaking from the water. Everyone was terrified, however, a stoned Johnny Depp was calmly sitting on his seat. Soon, a rescue boat came and escorted the people back.

In April, during one of the film's publicity events, Johnny Depp got into an argument with Michael Eisner, the Chaiman and CEO of Walt Disney Company, who believed that Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow looks like a "faggot on drugs" in the movie and stated that no one would like him. No sane person would dare to argue with someone like Michael Eisner who stood at the top of Hollywood but Johnny Depp dared to do it. Matthew and Keira Knightley didn't dare to mess with Michael Eisner like Johnny Depp but they silently showed their support for him. After the film was released, Johnny Depp became super popular, topping IMDB's Most Watched Celebrity List. He instantly became an A-List celebrity and a mainstream movie star after the film's success.
