Childhood actor

John Christopher Depp II was born in the town of Osvensboro (Kentucky, USA) on June 9, 1963. His father John Depp worked as an engineer in a construction firm, and Betty Sue Palmer's mother was a waitress. The future actor was the youngest child in the family, he has two sisters - Christie and Debbie, as well as brother Dan. Johnny did not at all attract the life of his parents, at heart he always felt that he was meant for something better, bigger.

The family Depp constantly moved from place to place, according to the calculations of the actor, for the time he lived with his parents, he changed about 20 houses. Johnny as a child had no friends, he just did not have time to start them, because, just having settled in one town, the family moved to another. At school he was never an outsider, but his boy did not feel himself either. From an early age he was used to a nomadic life, his parents were not friendly, so they all gathered together at a festive table only for Christmas. Depp was unaccustomed to watching the families of his classmates, how they communicate with each other, eating breakfast, lunch and dinner, because he did not have all this.

Johnny has felt himself abandoned and unwanted loser since childhood. In order to hide somewhere and not hear the abuse of his parents, he dug a cave in the courtyard and spent most of his free time there, fearing that it would collapse. Depp can not be called exemplary, he was very harmful, did not like to go to school, could walk along the eaves of the eighth floor. Because of natural curiosity at the age of 12, he began to smoke, in 13 - lost his virginity and began to drink alcohol, and at 14 there were no such drugs that the boy did not try.

The life of Johnny Depp can not be called cheerful and carefree. The actor himself admitted that he felt loved and needed only a couple of times a year. Constant quarrels between parents, and after their divorce, the death of their beloved grandfather - all this affected the mental state of the teenager. Johnny could not be called a merry fellow, he constantly suffered from ridicule on the part of classmates, teachers' quibbles, so it is not surprising that he did not finish school , although he does not regret it at all.

Passion for music

Johnny seriously began to get involved in music at the age of 14, he persuaded his mother to buy him an electric guitar, stole a self-instruction manual in the supermarket and spent hours in his room, learning the basics of playing the instrument. The guy even went to school with a guitar and spent most of his time in the music class. His first garage group was named Flame, and the second - The Kids. It was the "Children" who were destined to go to Hollywood, they performed in clubs and bars, earning $ 25 per night. Depp seriously thought about the continuation of his musical career, but his group did not go well, and soon it broke up.

Beginning of the actor's way

Speeches in bars and restaurants soon ceased to provide the guys from the group, Johnny himself had to work as a messenger, a loader, a small trader. After getting to know Nicolas Cage, he changed the attitude to life of Johnny Depp. The filmography of the actor would not have been replenished with works if the new friend had not noticed a special manner of speaking and moving, the unusual appearance of Depp. It was Nick who suggested to Johnny that he would have been a good actor. Soon Depp was invited to sample the movie "A Nightmare on Elm Street", the film work was low-budget, but it was necessary to start with something.

Johnny Depp in his youth was not very brave, so he was terribly nervous before the casting for his first role. Together with Nicholas, they prepared for two days, practiced dialogues, practically not distracted by food and sleep. The guy did not particularly hope for his success and mentally prepared for defeat. The tests turned out to be a little strange, they only received five applicants, who were put in a row. Then the director of the painting called his daughter and asked who she would like to see in the role of Glen. The girl chose Johnny.

Depp was shot in the film for 6 weeks and received for shooting 7200 dollars. For him it was incredible luck, the newly-made actor did not even imagine that they could pay well for such work. After the debut in the world of cinema, the rock band finally broke up, because Johnny Depp completely switched to an acting career. At the beginning of his journey, he acted in several disgusting films that the actor does not even want to include in his filmography, but still they gave him the necessary experience and confidence in his genius.

For a long time Johnny Depp remained unemployed. Filmography at the beginning of the acting career is not full of serious works. There was a time when the man doubted the correctness of the chosen path and thought about changing the profession, but then an offer was made to appear in the film "Platoon", and it was this picture that gave impetus to the further development of the actor. Then followed the participation in the television series 21 Jump Street, which was for the actor bone in the throat. After that, Johnny for a long time could not come to his senses, starring in mediocre commercials.

Fruitful cooperation with Tim Burton

The end of the 80s turned out to be difficult, it seemed that Johnny Depp would not be able to break free of the protracted stagnation. Filmography, perhaps, would not have been replenished with delightful films, had it not been for the fateful meeting of the actor with Tim Burton. Quite by accident, Johnny got a script with a story about an unhappy guy with scissors instead of hands. The actor was so impressed with this creation that he even cried. The man who invented the script seemed to him a genius. Depp very much wanted to play the main role, but even had no idea what he would be interested in the director.

When the actor met, it was striking how much they had in common with Burton. Men are imbued with sympathy, they have learned a kindred spirit in each other. The role of Edward was claimed by popular, highly paid actors, with whom Depp could not compete. He had to wait a few weeks in anticipation of a miracle, during this time he rehearsed the role, memorized the dialogues. Johnny was completely disbelieved when he got a call and announced that he was Edward Scissorhands.

Then came the joint work on the film "Ed Wood", Depp agreed to act in it, even without really understanding the role, because he completely trusted the taste, vision, sense of humor Burton. In 1999, the actor received an offer to star in the film "Sleepy Hollow." In this film, he was able to excel himself by carefully considering the character of his character. Further, two geniuses converged in the films "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "The Corpse of the Bride" and were generously rewarded for their labors. The films featuring Johnny Depp are uniquely personal and unique.

In 2007, there was a role in the musical "Sweeney Todd, Demon Barber of Fleet Street", the actor had not only learned how to handle the razor safely, but also to sing. For the role of the barber, Johnny was nominated for an Oscar. Then there was work on "Alice in Wonderland," in which Depp played the Mad Hatter, very similar to himself. In 2012, in "Dark Shadows" he played an extravagant Barnabas Collins.

Tandem Depp Burton is unique in its kind, these two are comfortable in each other's company. Johnny has repeatedly admitted that he understands Tim from a half-word, the director has enough to say a set of words, look somehow, make a certain gesture, and the actor understands it perfectly. All their joint work is interesting, unusual and very successful. In the films of Burton Depp is removed not for the sake of money, but for the sake of pleasure, the role in the films of this director for him is like a sip of clean water.
