MUMBAI: Johnny Depp has topped the list of Hollywood‘s most powerful star followed by Lady Gaga in a new power list. The Pirates Of The Caribbean actor has come out on top of Entertainment Weekly‘s just-released Power List.

"Depp‘s career has been a long, strange trip and ending up the most powerful actor in Hollywood is the weirdest twist of all. He‘s rarely followed the standard playbook, choosing roles as misfits over the usual romantic leads and action heroes," the magazine says before listing some of his impressive statistics, including a career box-office total of USD 5.9 billion.

Meanwhile Gaga who had occupied the seventh spot on Forbes magazine‘s list of the World‘s 100 most powerful women, has grabbed the second spot. She managed to amass a pretty impressive resume in a short time, having sold 5.1 million albums in the US itself in a career spanning two years.

TV mogul Oprah Winfrey came in at number three while former ‘American Idol‘ judge Simon Cowell occupied the fourth spot.
