Johnny Depp has been acting for almost 40 years and has portrayed many characters on the screen, but among the long list of films he has been in, most know him as Jack Sparrow from the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise.
Depp was born in Owensboro, Kentucky on June 9, 1963, to parents John and Betty Sue. He moved to Florida and spent a lot of his childhood there. Before starring in movies, primarily as the dark and chilling character, young Depp was in a band called "the Kids." His music career extended later in his career as well, as he was in another band called the "Hollywood Vampires."
Depp’s past relationships were complicated to say the least, but his first known relationship was with Lori Anne Allison, a makeup artist. The couple moved to Los Angeles, where he got connected with Nicholas Cage, and his decades-long acting career began.
His movie debut was in "A Nightmare on Elm Street" in 1984. Although he has been in a lot of popular movies like "Sleepy Hollow," "Alice in Wonderland," and "Sweeney Todd," he is most known for the character that he played for over 10 years, Captain Jack Sparrow. Johnny Depp played Jack Sparrow in five "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies from 2003 to 2017. His "Pirates" costars include Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley.
Depp has a net worth of $100 million (per Celebrity Net Worth), a long list of movies behind him and a long list of celebrity girlfriends, wives and proposals. After his divorce from Lori Anne Allison, he had relationships with many big Hollywood names, including Sherilyn Fenn, Jennifer Gray, Winona Ryder, Ellen Barkin and Kate Moss. After Moss, he had a 14-year relationship with with Vanessa Paradis. The former couple share two children together, a daughter, Lily-Rose Depp, and a son Jack Depp.
In 2015, Depp and Amber Heard got married, but divorced in 2016. Heard wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post, implying that she was abused by Depp in 2018, and the two have been suing back and fourth since. The two took part in a very public defamation lawsuit in March and April 2022.
