Early life

Childhood
Johnny Depp was born in Owensboro, Kentucky, the son of John  Christopher Depp, Sr., a civil engineer, and his wife, the former Betty  Sue Wells, a waitress. He has one brother, Daniel, who is a novelist,  and two sisters, Christie (now his personal manager) and Debbie. The  Depp family in the United States began with a French Huguenot immigrant,  Pierre Deppe or Dieppe, who settled in Virginia around 1700, part of a  refugee colony situated above the falls on the James River. The actor  has also surmised that he is part Native American, saying in 2011, "I  guess I have some Native American somewhere down the line. My  great-grandmother was quite a bit of Native American, she grew up  Cherokee or maybe Creek Indian. Makes sense in terms of coming from  Kentucky, which is rife with Cherokee and Creek."

The family moved frequently during Depp's childhood, and he and his  siblings lived in more than 20 different locations, settling in Miramar,  Florida, in 1970. In 1978, Depp's parents divorced. His mother married,  as her second husband, Robert Palmer (died 2000), whom Depp called "an  inspiration to me".

 

He engaged in self-harm as a child, due to the stress of dealing with  family problems. He has seven or eight self-inflicted scars. In a 1993  interview, he explained his self-injury by saying, "My body is a journal  in a way. It's like what sailors used to do, where every tattoo meant  something, a specific time in your life when you make a mark on  yourself, whether you do it yourself with a knife or with a professional  tattoo artist".

1980s
With the gift of a guitar from his mother when he was twelve, Johnny Depp  began playing in various garage bands. His first band was in honor of  his girlfriend, Meredith. A year after his parents' divorce, Depp  dropped out of high school to become a rock musician. He attempted to go  back to school two weeks later, but the principal told him to follow  his dream of being a musician. He played with The Kids, a band that  enjoyed modest local success. The Kids set out together for Los Angeles  in pursuit of a record deal, changing their name to Six Gun Method, but  the group split up before signing a record deal. Depp subsequently  collaborated with the band Rock City Angels and co-wrote their song  "Mary", which appeared on Rock City Angels' debut for Geffen Records  titled Young Man's Blues.On December 24, 1983, Johnny Depp married Lori  Anne Allison, the sister of his band's bass player and singer. During  Depp's marriage, his wife worked as a makeup artist, while he worked a  variety of odd jobs, including a telemarketer for pens. His wife  introduced him to actor Nicolas Cage, who advised Depp to pursue an  acting career. Depp and his wife divorced in 1985. Depp later dated and  was engaged to actress Sherilyn Fenn (whom he met on the set of the 1985  short film Dummies). Both Fenn and Depp auditioned for the 1986 film  Thrashin' and they were both cast, with Depp being chosen by the film's  director to star as the lead, which would have been Depp's second major  role. Johnny Depp was later turned down by the film's producer, who rejected the director's decision.

 

Film rolesf
Depp's first major role was in the 1984 classic horror film A Nightmare  on Elm Street, playing the boyfriend of the heroine, Nancy Thompson  (played by Heather Langenkamp) and one of Freddy Krueger's victims. Depp  was the first choice and was cast to star in the 1986 American skater  drama film Thrashin', chosen and cast by the director but ultimately  rejected by the film's producer. In 1986, he appeared in a secondary  role as a Vietnamese-speaking private in Oliver Stone's Platoon. In  1990, he undertook the quirky title role of the Tim Burton film, Edward  Scissorhands. The film's success began his long association with Burton.

Depp, a fan and long-time friend of writer Hunter S. Thompson, played a  version of Thompson (named Raoul Duke) in 1998's Fear and Loathing in  Las Vegas, based on the writer's pseudobiographical novel of the same  name. Depp accompanied Thompson as his road manager on one of the  author's last book tours. In 2006, Depp contributed a foreword to Gonzo:  Photographs by Hunter S. Thompson, a posthumous biography published by  ammobooks.com. In 2008, he narrated the documentary film Gonzo: The Life  and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. Depp paid for most of Thompson's  memorial event, complete with fireworks and the shooting of Thompson's  ashes by a cannon, in Aspen, Colorado, where Thompson lived. Johnny Depp returned to Thompson's work with a film adaptation of the novel The Rum Diary, released in 2011.

 

Critics have described Depp's roles as characters who are "iconic  loners. Depp has noted this period of his career was full of "studio  defined failures" and films that were "box office poison," but he  thought the studios never understood the films and did not do a good job  of marketing. Johnny Depp has chosen roles which he found interesting, rather than those he thought would succeed at the box office.

The 2003 Walt Disney Pictures film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse  of the Black Pearl was a major success, in which Depp's performance as  the suave but shambling pirate Captain Jack Sparrow was highly praised.  Studio bosses were more ambivalent at first, but the character became  popular with the movie-going public. According to a survey taken by  Fandango, Depp was a major draw for audiences. The film's director, Gore  Verbinski, has said that Depp's character closely resembles the actor's  personality, but Depp said he modeled the character after The Rolling  Stones guitarist Keith Richards. Johnny Depp was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor for the role.In 2004, Johnny Depp was nominated for an Academy  Award for Best Actor, for playing Scottish author J. M. Barrie in the  film Finding Neverland. Depp next starred as Willy Wonka in the 2005  film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, a major success at the box  office and earning him a nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best  Actor in a Musical or Comedy.

Johnny Depp returned to the role of Jack Sparrow for the sequel  Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, which opened on July 7, 2006  and grossed $135.5 million in the first three days of its U.S. release,  breaking a box office record of the highest weekend tally. The next  sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean, At World's End, was released May 24,  2007. Depp has said that Sparrow is "definitely a big part of me", and  he wants to play the role in further sequels. Depp voiced Sparrow in the  video game, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow.  Johnny Depp's swashbuckling sword talents as developed for the character  of Jack Sparrow, were highlighted in the documentary film Reclaiming  the Blade. Within the film, Swordmaster Bob Anderson shared his  experiences working with Depp on the choreography for The Curse of the  Black Pearl. Anderson described in the film Depp's ability as an actor  to pick up the sword to be "about as good as you can get."

 

Depp and Gore Verbinski were executive producers of the album Rogues  Gallery, Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs and Chanteys. Depp played the title  role of Sweeney Todd in Tim Burton's film adaptation of the musical, for  which he won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture  Musical or Comedy. Depp thanked the Hollywood Foreign Press Association  and praised Tim Burton for his "unwavering trust and support."

 

Johnny Depp played the former Heath Ledger character in the 2009  film, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus along with Jude Law and Colin  Farrell. All three actors gave their salaries from the film to Ledger's  daughter, Matilda. He portrayed the Mad Hatter in Burton's Alice in  Wonderland, and the titular character in Rango.
