No matter what your age, you are sure to know who Johnny Depp is. He is one of the top actors and has been one for decades. From his start in the classic horror movie, Nightmare on Elm Street, to the wildly successful Pirates of the Caribbean movies, Johnny Depp has played a variety of characters over the years. This is not all he is about, however. He also has his own production company and has a family that he is very dedicated to.
Early Life Most people would never expect that Johnny Depp was born in Owensburg, Kentucky on June 9, 1963. He did not grow up in a show business family like some stars did and had a very rough childhood with his parents divorcing and his habit of self-harm. It wasn't until the 1980's that he moved into any part of the show business world. He dropped out of school to travel around as a rock musician and had moderate success. His first wife, Lori Anne Allison, introduced him to Nicolas Cage, and he encouraged Johnny to look into acting. This was the start of his acting career that we enjoy even today.
