His father, John Depp, worked as an engineer in a construction company, and his mother, Betty Sue Palmer, 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, in his heart he always felt that he was meant for something better, more.
The Depp family constantly moved from one place to another.the place, estimated by the actor, during the time lived with his parents, he changed about 20 houses. As a child, Johnny had no friends, he simply did not have time to make them, since, only having settled down in one town, the family moved to another. At school, he was never a stranger, but he did not feel his boyfriend either. From an early age he was accustomed to nomadic life, his parents were not friendly, so all together they gathered at the festive table just for Christmas. Depp was unusual to observe the families of his classmates, how they communicate with each other, have breakfast, lunch and dinner together, because he did not have all this.
Johnny from his childhood felt abandonedand useless loser. To hide somewhere and not hear the abuse of his parents, he dug a cave in his yard and spent most of his free time there, while fearing that it would collapse. Depp cannot be called exemplary, he was very harmful, did not like to go to school, he could walk on the ledge of the eighth floor. Because of his natural curiosity, at the age of 12 he began to smoke, at 13 he lost his virginity and began to drink alcohol, and at the age of 14 there were no such drugs that the boy would not have tried.
Johnny Depp’s life isn’t fun andcarefree. The actor himself admitted that he felt loved and needed only a couple of times a year.

Passion for music

Then the director of the film called her daughter and asked who she would like to see in the role of Glen. The girl chose Johnny.
Depp starred in the film for 6 weeks and received forshooting 7200 dollars. For him, it was incredible luck, the newly-made actor could not even imagine that they could pay well for such work.
