Trace Johnny Depp’s eclectic career in this video poem

Once you get used to the video’s bizarre rhythm, however, there are some long-lost details from the beginning of Depp’s career, like the fact that his old band The Kids opened up for The B-52s, and that Nicolas Cage helped him out at his start. Other factoids are still interesting, but unsurprising: He refused to use a cooling device on the set of Edward Scissorhands (which caused him to collapse from exhaustion), improvised much of Blow, and is afraid of clowns, spiders and ghosts. He also made an astonishing $75 million in 2011, although we don’t know if we can agree with the video’s assertion that he’s “worth every penny,” because that’s a hell of a lot of money (and helps explain his own vineyard, his private island, and his $30,000/month wine habit). Some of his more recent films have not been that financially successful, however: “Johnny Depp was in a film that made us all ask why / a box office bomb called Mortdecai,” although thanks to this video, we learn that he personally designed that mustache.
