Johnny Depp’s Best Movie Transformations

From Jack Sparrow to Edward Scissorhands, these are three of Johnny Depp's biggest cinematic changes.

Few actors are as systematic as Johnny Depp when it comes to acting. The actor immerses himself in the skin of the characters he portrays, nailing everything from gestures to language delivery. But it’s Depp’s movie changes, which are among the finest in cinematic history, that leave spectators speechless.

Depp is known to participate in the make-up and costume design procedures of the characters he portrays on screen. He is considered to be extremely innovative with his roles and completely devoted to performance.

Tim Burton directed the majority of the films in which he has played characters dressed in bizarre outfits. Oscar-winning make-up artist Joel Harlow and costume designer Colleen Atwood have been regularly connected with Depp in producing some of the most remarkable cinematic changes the actor is renowned for.

Here are some of the best Johnny Depp’s movie transformations

1. Captain Jack Sparrow — Pirates of the Caribbean film series

When Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003), the first film in the series, was released, Johnny Depp had already established himself as a star. With the success of this picture, however, he became an internationally bankable celebrity.

2. Edward Scissorhands — Edward Scissorhands (1990)

As the title character, Edward Scissorhands, Johnny Depp plays one of the most remarkable parts he has ever portrayed.

Edward is a humanoid with scissors instead of hands. Though he attempts to serve others by making ice sculptures and trimming their hedges, he is limited in his ability to communicate his love for Kim due to his looks.

3. Tonto — The Lone Ranger (2013)

The Lone Ranger is one of Johnny Depp’s finest movie transformations because of his practically unrecognizable makeover. The movie didn’t fare well at the box office and was also a critical disaster, but it remains one of his best movie transformations because of his nearly unidentifiable makeover.
