It’s hard to say clearly who could be the biggest box office draw in the world, but there’s no doubt that Johnny Depp should be at the top of the list. Over the years, Depp has been the star of countless major Hollywood premieres. His ability to avoid being typecast has helped raise the statue of him within his profession.

Depp’s star has only shone brighter, thanks to the impressive and never-ending success of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Another aspect of his success has been his repeated and often very successful collaborations with director and friend Tim Burton. The two have collaborated on numerous high-profile movies over the years, including Sweeney Todd and Alice in Wonderland. The end result is that Depp has become one of the most consistent box office draws in the entertainment industry. To date, his films have grossed total box office receipts in excess of a staggering $7 billion dollars! Some of Depp’s most memorable films over the years include What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and, in 2013, The Lone Ranger. In The Lone Ranger, Depp will add another diverse character to his acting résumé playing the iconic character of Tonto, in what is sure to be one of the biggest releases of 2013.

Depp loves glasses and sunglasses and is often seen wearing them. Whether in his movies, on the red carpet or in his personal life, Johnny Depp often opts for glasses. Part of the reason for this could be due to the rarely cited fact that Depp is blind in one eye. The facts are that Depp has made glasses a key part of his appearance and personality.

Like many celebrities, Depp frequently wears sunglasses, but there’s no denying that Depp does so with a unique flair and style. Like many rock stars, movie stars, and athletes, Depp has opted for polarized sunglasses. What are polarized sunglasses and why do celebrities often choose them? Polarization filters out bright light and dramatically reduces glare. As a result, celebrities, who are often under bright lights, and professional athletes, who need quick reaction times, find polarized sunglasses a must.

Quality sunglasses are worth it. After all, they protect vision thanks to UV protection and they look great. In short, your investment in quality eyewear is worth every dollar and you should protect that investment. When your sunglass lenses get damaged, you shouldn’t throw them away. Instead, opt to replace your glasses, as this is better for both the environment and your wallet.
