At 15, after going through his parents’ divorce, he dropped out of school to pursue a career in music. He joined several bands, including The Kids, who moved to Los Angeles. Even though music was his first passion, fate led him down a different path.
👉 Johnny Depp!
Before he became the legendary Jack Sparrow, Johnny Depp was this lost kid from Kentucky, born June 9, 1963, who was smoking at 12 and dreamed of a guitar instead of cameras.
A revolutionary child who grew up in an unstable family and turned pain into art.
His name? “Depp,” which means “idiot” in German. Ironic, considering he’s become one of the most iconic actors of his generation… and one of the most difficult.
With German, Irish, French and Cherokee roots, he embodies the multifaceted, tormented, brilliant America.
At 16, he gives up everything for music. At 18, he sells pens in Los Angeles. A little help from fate – Nicolas Cage – and here he is in Nightmare on Elm Street.
Cinema just discovered a diamond in the rough.
In love, he loves too much, he loves strongly: Winona, Kate, Vanessa, Amber …
Intense, sometimes devastating stories. But in his eyes there is always this melancholy of a wounded child.
Today Johnny Depp is a caring dad, a freelance artist, a survivor.
