Introduction

Ah, Johnny Depp. The man needs no preface, but we are going to give him one anyway. He is been in the public eye for decades and has clearly lived a life worth writing about. So, without further ado, let's claw into the life and times of the one and only Johnny Depp.

Early Life

Johnny Depp was born in Owensboro, Kentucky, in 1963. His mama was a youthful of four children, which means he presumably got down with murder growing up. As a child, he frequently moved around due to his father's job but ultimately settled in Florida.

As a teenager, Johnny dropped out of the academy to pursue a career in music. He played in several garage bands before forming a group called The kiddies, which played at original clubs. Unfortunately, the band noway took off, so Johnny decided to try his hand at acting rather.

Career

In 1984, Johnny made his film debut in the horror movie, Agony on Elm Street. He played the swain of the film's promoter and indeed got to meet Freddy Krueger himself( aka Robert Englund). While the film was not a critical success, it did well enough at the box office to give Johnny some exposure.

Over the coming many times, Johnny appeared in a number of flicks, including Platoon, Cry-Baby, and Edward Scissorhands. It was his part as the ultimate that really put him on the chart. The film was directed by Tim Burton, who would go on to come one of Johnny's closest collaborators.

Johnny continued to work steadily throughout the 90s, appearing in flicks like Benny & Joon, What is Eating Gilbert Grape, and Donnie Brasco. He also starred in the television series, 21 Jump Street, which is where he got his big break.

In 2003, Johnny landed the part of Captain Jack Sparrow in the first rovers of the Caribbean movie. The film was a massive success, and Johnny's performance as the swashbuckling corsair earned him an Academy Award nomination.

Since also, Johnny has continued to work with Tim Burton on several systems, including Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. He is also continued to play Captain Jack Sparrow in four further rovers of the Caribbean pictures.

Difficulties

Of course, no memoir of Johnny Depp would be complete without mentioning his difficulties. In recent times, Johnny has been indicted of domestic abuse by his-wife, Amber Heard. The couple's divorce was messy, with both parties making allegations against each other.

Johnny has denied the allegations and has indeed filed an action against Amber for vilification. The case is ongoing, and it's unclear what the outgrowth will be.

Anyhow of the outgrowth, it's clear that the allegations have spoiled Johnny's character kindly. Some suckers have turned against him, while others have remained pious.

Conclusion
