He now has a fantastic life with two glorious children.  Johnny Depp once a drug taking high school dropout has now changed his life for the better to participate in movies and children funds.

Johnny Depp had always displayed strange behavior as a child.  Johnny was born on June 9, 1963 in Owensboro, Kentucky to Betty Sue, who was a waitress and John Depp who was an engineer.  Johnny Depp was introduced to the electric guitar by his uncle and ever since that he had loved the sound of it.  At age 12, his mother bought him a guitar and he had practiced in his room every day.  Johnny was the youngest of four children including his brother Danny and his two sisters Debbie and Christie.

In high school, Johnny Depp lived in the back of his friend’s car for months to get away from his parents fighting.  He used many drugs and broke into many stores.  But Johnny never stole anything, “I just wanted to see what happened behind those locked doors,” (Johnny Depp).  Johnny was suspended many times and quickly lost interest in school.  He dropped out and formed a band with his friends called “The Kids”.  Soon afterwards though, his mother became very ill.

Johnny Depp worked day shifts at many stores and his band was snuck into clubs and bars at night.  Johnny’s life was falling apart when he realized that he could not keep up with his rent.  His band moved to L.A. but there were too many bands, and he could barely find any spots to play at.  Just as all looked grim in Johnny’s life, his friend introduced him to Nicolas Cage, and his love for acting was born.  Nicolas decided to help Johnny try out for a part on Nightmare on Elm Street.  Johnny made the part of a football player who was eaten by his bed early in the movie.  But Johnny’s love for acting blossomed within the months of his acting.  He also played in a hit T.V. series 21 Jump Street.

After years of acting and starring, Johnny Depp married Venessa Paradis and moved to France.  Two children were born while married to Venessa, Lily-Rose born on 1999 and Jack in 2002.  Over many years, he and his children watched many Disney movies, and Johnny wanted to be in a movie his children could watch.  Johnny figured he would end up as the main character’s voice in an animated film, but Disney had other plans.  Disney was making Pirates of the Caribbean and Johnny Depp was to play the role of Jack Sparrow, a pirate searching for his stolen ship.  He won and academy award for his superb acting, and went off to make another.  He has been in over 20 movies and one T.V. series.  Johnny has gotten a golden award for best actor and the lifetime achievement award for his dedication to the arts.  Johnny Depp, once a drug taking high school dropout has changed his life for the better, to participate in children’s funds and movies around the U.S.
