Summary
JOHNNY Depp is an Outsider. Like Albert Camus's antihero, he hovers on the fringes yet dominates everything he orbits. Take his superstar status: Depp is probably one of the most beautiful people on the planet and could easily live the playboy lifestyle in Hollywood while churning out successive blockbusters.

The last time we saw him, in Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) had betrayed Jack, and the Kraken was having him for dinner the outsider was on the inside of something for once.
