Johnny Depp

Hollywood star of the first magnitude, actor, screenwriter, director, producer, musician and singer. And it's all about him, Johnny Depp - the winner of the Golden Globe and multiple Oscar nominees. The name of the artist as the highest paid is entered in the Guinness Book of Records.

Popular actor and musician Johnny Depp (full name - John Christopher Depp II) was born in the American town of Owensboro on June 9, 1963, according to the zodiac sign he is Gemini. Johnny can hardly be called a home child, for good reason: his father led a wild lifestyle, loved to drink alcohol, beat his mother, and children, two sons and two daughters got it. Johnny was not close with his older brother Daniel, preferring to spend time on the streets of the city. In his youth, the future actor, for the sake of self-assertion, walked along the parapet of the eighth floor.

The explosive nature of the biographers of the star is explained by the mixed Indian, Irish and German blood in his veins. Johnny's grandfather was a Cherokee Indian, and his grandmother came from the Cree tribe.

Johnny Depp strove to stand out and managed to become a kind of idol for those around him, able to lead. The guy hated school and skipped lessons, from the age of 12 he smoked and drank alcohol. According to the artist, at the age of 13 he “became a man”. At the same age he was expelled from school.

Parents divorced when Johnny Depp was 15 years old. The guy reacted to the incident, adding drugs and rock and roll to other "achievements". Johnny performed on stages in Florida nightclubs with The Kids, playing an electric guitar given by his mother.

The guy had a hard time going through the death of his beloved grandfather, who spent most of his childhood. The mother of the future Hollywood star married for the second time to the writer Robert Palmer, whom Depp later called the mastermind.

At 16, Johnny Depp left home and moved to Los Angeles, his friend's car became his place of residence. The means for subsistence had to be earned by hard work on construction sites, working as a courier and selling fountain pens, but Depp devoted all his leisure time to music. At the age of 20, the musician married the make-up artist Laurie Ann Ellison, who was 5 years older. His wife was annoyed by the hectic and penniless life with Johnny. The musician's career has frozen at a standstill.

After 2 years, the couple divorced. Laurie managed to introduce her husband to Nicolas Cage, and the actor sent the guy to his agent. This is how Johnny Depp's cinematic biography began. Thanks to his charisma and innate artistry, the young artist got on the set.

Millions of fans are closely watching the news of Johnny Depp's personal life. His first marriage to Laurie Ellison fell apart in 1985.

With the growing popularity, the list of the Hollywood star's novels was rapidly replenished with new names. The constant thirst for freedom, a complex character combined with Johnny's temperament did not allow the relationship to become long-lasting. Depp had romances with Kate Moss, Eva Green, Sherilyn Fenn, Winona Ryder, but the proposal from the idol of millions of beauties did not wait.

In 1998, Johnny Depp met model, actress and singer Vanessa Paradis, whom he fell in love with so much that he led her down the aisle. The couple moved to Vanessa's homeland in France, where they had two children. Lily-Rose's daughter Melody appeared in the spring of 1999, and her son John Christopher - in the spring of 2002.

Johnny Depp wrote several songs for his wife's album.

The children made this family happy, it seemed that peace and tranquility reigned in the actor's soul. But in 2012, Depp and Paradis announced a divorce. Johnny's partner in The Rum Diary, Amber Heard, with whom he became close in 2011, is called the reason for the separation. In February 2015, the lovers got married.

In May 2016, Hurd filed for divorce, having lived with the Hollywood handsome man for 15 months. The last point in the marriage was delivered in January 2017. While lawyers were deciding procedural issues, Johnny Depp went on tour with his musical group.

The divorce proceedings turned out to be loud and scandalous: Amber said that Johnny was mentally ill, was jealous of her and beat her. However, Hurd made an unfortunate mistake: the actress filed for divorce 3 days after the death of Depp's mother. The image of a homeless woman who broke up a family where two children were growing up did not work for the woman. Then Hurd went for broke - she presented a video with a scene of violence. The police, just in case, forbade Depp to approach his wife within 100 yards.

Depp's two ex-wives stood up in defense of the star - Laurie Ann Alison and Vanessa Paradis, who said that the ex-husband had never raised a hand against them. The father was also supported by his daughter Lily-Rose Depp. She posted on Instagram an old photo from a family album, where dad teaches the baby to walk.

At the finish line, Hurd unexpectedly dropped Depp's domestic abuse charges and took a $ 7 million compensation. But, having received the money, the actress announced that she was giving it to charity, the entire amount would be distributed among funds helping victims of domestic violence.

Depp's scandal with Heard's ex-wife is not going to fade away yet. The couple met again in court, where the actor showed 87 videos proving that she was the main aggressor in the family. Depp and his lawyers prepared a counterclaim, in which he argued that it was Hurd who regularly beat him with her hands, feet and kitchen utensils that came to hand. She even cut off the tip of his finger with a shard of vodka bottle. Now the actor wants to receive compensation for defamation in the amount of $ 50 million.

Johnny Depp is keenly interested in the lives of children. He negatively accepted the news of his daughter's romance with divorced Ash Stymest. Young Lily Depp started dating Ash 2 years before coming of age, which greatly upset her parents. She has already shown herself to be as much a fan of shocking the audience as her father: at the 2020 BAFTA film awards ceremony, Depp's daughter appeared in a transparent black dress without underwear.

After the divorce, the actor appeared several times in the company of 26-year-old Russian model Polina Glen, but the romance turned out to be fleeting: the girl was the first to initiate the separation, explaining this by Depp's excessive addiction to alcohol and drugs.

One of the first films to which Depp was invited was a telebiography of the great beatnik Jack Kerouac, and a full-fledged film debut took place in the cult horror film A Nightmare on Elm Street. Director Wes Craven entrusted the novice actor with the role of Glen Lanz and was pleased with the choice: Depp made a strong impression on Craven. The audience liked the picture, and Johnny went headlong into a film career.

Второстепенная роль в фильме Оливера Стоуна «Взвод», где Джонни Депп сыграл рядового Лернера, успеха не принесла: в конечном варианте все сцены с рядовым вырезали. Зато работа в сериалах для молодежной аудитории, ставших хитами благодаря красавчику Джонни, прославила молодого актера. Лента «Джамп Стрит, 21» вышла на экраны в 1987 году и растянулась на 4 года. В сериале как гость появился ровесник Деппа Брэд Питт. Проект принес Джонни бешеную популярность и ненавистный статус кумира несовершеннолетних девчонок.

In 1990, two rating projects were released: the musical film Crybaby and the fantastic film by Tim Burton, Edward Scissorhands. This picture begins a fruitful collaboration between the actor and the renowned director. The main role in a fantastic melodrama brought Johnny Depp a resounding recognition and a nomination for a Golden Globe. On the set of Edward Scissorhands, the actor met Winona Ryder.

In the mid-90s, viewers saw the pictures "Benny and June" and "Ed Wood", thanks to which Johnny Depp again got in the "Golden Globe" nomination. Fans of the actor love this period for his work in the mystical film of independent American director Jim Jarmusch "Dead", included in the list of film masterpieces of the last twenty years, and for Jeremy Levin's romantic comedy "Don Juan De Marco".

In 1993, Depp starred opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in the American film What's Eating Gilbert Grape, directed by Lasse Hallström. In the story, young Hollywood stars were supposed to portray brothers, and Johnny personally selected Leonardo from hundreds of other applicants.

In 1997, a new wave of audience love covered the actor with the dramas "Johnny Brasco" and "The Brave". In the last project, Depp made his debut as a director and screenwriter, and in the first he played along with Al Pacino. In "The Brave", Johnny Depp appeared in tandem with Marlon Brando and was nominated for the Cannes Film Festival in three guises - as a director, screenwriter and actor. He was awarded the Palme d'Or.
