Depp biography

St. Petersburg 2nd Krasnoarmeyskaya St. Having debuted in the horror film “Nightmare on Vyazov Street”, he was not even going to become a professional actor. However, fate decided differently - today Johnny Depp is confidently included in a limited number of the most original and recognizable actors. Before meeting Johnny's father, she was already married, which brought her two offspring, Debbie and Daniel.

Johnny Depp is alone - her name is Christie. Children's photos of Johnny Depp Mom Johnny Depp was half an Indian; Her father belonged to the Cheroka tribe. Jim, the other grandfather of the boy, with whom Little Johnny became very close, was a purebred Irish. In addition, German roots are present in the pedigree actor.

Johnny Depp with his parents hometown Johnny Depp - Avoseboro, Kentukki, but the boy’s parents were constantly moving, so by the age of fifteen the guy changed several cities and more than a dozen houses. As the actor said, once the family moved to the neighboring house down the street - parents simply did not sit in one place. Johnny Depp's childhood is difficult to call happy.

His mother, who worked in a roadside cafe from morning till night to feed the children, was that particular: “Mother swore like a sailor, played cards and smoked,” said Johnny. The father drank a lot in his free time and, being drunk, was not ashamed of shaking his wife and children. To top it, when Johnny was 9 years old, Grandfather Jim passed away. The loss of a loved one finally knocked out the boy from the rut: he began to swear with his parents, at the age of 12 he began to smoke and abuse alcohol, and at the age of 13 he began to lead a sexual life.

In the youth of Johnny, Depp was still a hooligan in the year, Johnny Depp's parents divorced that only aggravated the current situation. The fifteen-year-old young man began to experiment with drugs, which was due to which he was expelled from school. However, this did not upset him - he waved his hand at his education and began to live his life. The musical career and the first roles in the cinema at the age of 12 Johnny became the owner of a cheap dollar electric guitar - a gift from her mother.

He independently mastered the instrument, and when his parents divorced, the guy in protest moved to his friend Sal and began to perform as part of the Garage group “Baby”, interrupting by fees for performances in nightclubs. Over the next four years, he changed the order of such amateur groups and, in addition, worked as a laborer on construction sites. Once, their performance was heard by IGGI POP himself, after which he invited the guys to speak at his concert, as they say, "on the warm -up." Even on a local scale, but Johnny Depp came popular, and soon he had close relations with the summer dressing room Lori Elison, who introduced the newly -made spouse with Nicholas Cage.

He was three years younger than Depp, but he had already managed to star in Frenzis Ford Ford Coppola and a number of other films, so there was some experience behind his shoulders, which allowed to recognize acting inclinations in the rebel and rowdy Johnny. Johnny Depp and Nicholas Cage to the right - old friends Cage introduced Depp with his agent, who took the musician for tests to the film "Nightmare on Vyazov Street." Johnny was counting on the maximum of an episodic role, but the directors decided differently.

They were touched by the naturalness with which the guy behaved in front of the cameras, and the small details of his image, up to the yellow nicotine spots on the fingers that made him “real”. However, the guy did not even think of becoming a professional actor; He believed that the horror film would become a “springboard” for his musical career. The Koshmar on Vyazov Street, which was published in the year, was a breakthrough, and other Hollywood figures drew attention to Johnny Depp.

Without long thoughts, he accepted an invitation to the youth comedy “Private Resort”, where he first had to withdraw naked. Johnny Depp: Interview with the first channel wishing to accumulate enough funds for the producing of his own album, he starred in the episodes of the television and Lady in Blue television series, and also played the secondary role of Donnie Fisher in the film “The heat” with Eric Roberts.

The acting delayed the guy deeper, and he spent earned funds on acting courses. Perhaps, thanks to this act, he fell into the cast of the military drama of Oliver Stone "Pillars". He longed to play the main role, but the director decided that the newcomer was not yet ready to take such responsibility, so Charlie Shine gave it. Depp had to be content with the secondary role of the ordinary Lerner.

Alas, almost all scenes with his participation were cut out during the final installation. According to the law of meanness, in the year the platoon received eight Oscar nominations at once, of which exactly half was transformed into the desired gold figurine. The role of Johnny Depp in the film “Pillars” came out of the episodic returning from the filming of the “platoon” in the Philippines back to Florida, Depp heard about the casting in the new youth series “Jump-Street 21”.Having successfully passed the audition, Johnny became one of the four police officers who revealed crimes among schoolchildren.

The series produced a splash, and a few months after the premiere of Depp was forced to literally run away from the fan girls pursuing it. However, the thought of the glory of the "Idol of adolescents" caused him a disgust. Waters approved Depp for the main role in the grotesque musical of the “Plax”, where, according to the plot, his hero, a handsome bunter nicknamed Plaks, appeared as the exact opposite of his “serial” role.

Johnny Depp in the film "Plaks" in the year of Johnny Depp, an unspeakable luck smiled-Tim Burton chose his candidacy for the main role in the film "Edward of the Hands-Hands", although there were more than enough talented applicants: Tom Cruise, Robert Dauni the Younger, Jim Kerry ... The fantasy fairy tale for adults was not only visited by Johnny Depp on the Hollywood Olympus; Thanks to this film, Winona Ryder appeared in his life, with whom the actor met for more than four years.

In addition, Johnny Depp, in the role of Edward, began the friendship of Tim Berton and Johnny Depp, which later presented the world “Sonnoy Polch”, Charlie and Chocolate Factory, Swinnie Todda, Gloomy Shadows and other outstanding work of the tandem began. More precisely, the trio - in Berton’s films, Helena Bonya Carter, who quickly became a good friend of Depp, also appeared in the films of Berton.

Underfective Trinity: Johnny Depp, Tim Berton and Helena Bonham Carter took off his career after the premiere of Edward Johnny Depp instantly raised his “acting rank”: he was ceased to be considered a star of “soap” series, eminent directors became interested in them. Among them was Emir Kusturik, who took Johnny for the main role in his new film “Arizona Dream”.

The last film also became the directorial debut of Johnny Depp. In the militant at the last moment, he had to portray a modest cowardly accountant, forced to pick up a weapon, and in Donny Bratsko to play the young FBI agent under the guise of an elderly gangster assistant, which was masterfully performed by Al Pacino. Fear and hatred in Las Vegas, if we talk about Johnny Depp's truly cult roles, most fans come to mind this picture.

The film adaptation of the novel of the same name by the scandalously famous writer Hunter Thompson, maybe did not acquire commercial success, but forever fell into the annals of the history of cinema. Johnny Depp in the film “Fear and Hatred in Las Vegas” The actor read this book at the age of 15-along with the works of Jack Keruak, she made an indelible impression on the teenager.

Johnny met the author himself in the year and was instantly struck by his openness and folly, bordering on madness. And when Terry Gilliam decided to film the sensational book about the adventures of Dr. Gonzo and Raul Duke, the writer himself called Depp: “Maybe you will play me in the film about Las Vegas? A good thing is so. ” Depp and Hunter quickly became friends with the hallucinogenic adventures of Johnny Depp and Benisio Del Toro were nominated for the “palm branch” of the Cannes Film Festival of the year, but the jury, among which was the former girl Depp, Vainon Ryder, awarded the work of the Greek independent director Theo Angelopulos.

To prepare for the role, Johnny Depp lived in Hunter's house for several months. During this time, joint work on the project has grown into strong male friendship. So strong that after the death of the writer, Johnny Depp paid for the expensive funeral of his friend Hunter to be shot from a giant gun, pay all his debts and became the producer of the film “Romovy Diary” based on the novel of the same name Thompson, in which he himself played a major role.

Johnny Depp and Hunter Thompson are preparing to shoot at the turn of the new millennium, several very gloomy paintings with the participation of Johnny Depp were released at once. At first, the actor appeared in the mystical thriller of Roman Polanski “Ninth Gate”, then in Burton's “Sleeping” already mentioned above, and in the year the Light saw the horror film “From Ada”, where Johnny appeared in the image of inspector Frederick Ebberlin, a brilliant detective, always under the influence of opium vapor.

The film was shot according to the memoirs of the Cuban poet Reynaldo Arenas. Depp got two secondary roles at once: he played a prisoner-investigator and a seal jailer. The Spanish actor Javier Bardem was the Arenas himself. The film was shot for two months under the scorching Mexican sun, but out of respect for Arenas, Depp did not take a cent, as well as the Sean Penn, busy in the project.

In these two hours, director Ted Dem posted the whole life path of the drug lord George Yang, the ally of the great Pablo Escobar. Depp so seriously approached this role that before the start of filming, he personally paid a visit to George Yang's prison cell and spent several days with him Tet-A-Tet. Captain Jack Sparrow, despite the fact that by the beginning of Johnny, Depp starred in more than thirty films, and not one of them was defeated by critics, in Hollywood the unspoken title of “symbolic loner” was assigned to the actor.Large studios were outraged by the fact that Depp literally spat on the commercial expectations of the film, choosing the roles that he personally liked - and the actor was mostly independent projects.

Typical Jack Sparrow! But the new large -scale plan of Disney studio, in particular, the character named Jack Sparrow, caused the actor a true curiosity. Initially, he should not become the main hero of the tape - he was introduced into the script to shake the cruel disposition of captain Barbossi Jeffrey Rush. However, when Johnny was approved for this role, bypassing other serious contenders of Christopher Waken and Michael Keaton, the storyline of Balagur and Drink Jack from the secondary turned into a central one.

Captain Jack Sparrow in almost everything is the merit of Johnny Depp, who very subtly felt what his hero should become. He worked for a long time on the nature of the sparrow, borrowing a considerable part of the habits and elements of the image of the Rolling Stones guitarist Kita Richards. Moreover, every bead had its own story in dreadlocks and marks on the skin! However, the success of the pirate blockbuster has more than triplingly compensated for costs.

In the year, the film received five Oscar nominations, including the category of “best male role”, in which, of course, Johnny Depp was presented. In the year, having collected more than a billion dollars at the box office, the second part of the franchise thundered, and a year later the audience saw the third and, as planned, the final episode. However, in the year the “Pirates of the Caribbean: on strange shores” were released on the screens, already without the participation of Orlando Bloom and Kira Knightley, - the actors said they grew out of these characters.

But Johnny Depp agreed to shoot before the script was written. In the breaks between the filming of the "pirates" the Depp was also busy in other paintings. Firstly, this is the fantasy picture of Terry Gilliam “Imagine Dr. Parnassus”-the last acting of the hit of Ledger. Johnny Depp gave his fee for shooting the daughter of the late actor. The frame from the Dr.

Parnassus, the next film was radically different from the mystery of Gilliam - the criminal Bayopic about the legendary jacket of John Dillingere “Johnny D., by the way, it was Depp who invited the charming Frenchwoman Marion Kotiwyar. And in December of the year, spectators were able to enjoy the brilliant duo of Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie in the militant “Tourist”. The further career in the year of the Verbinski Mountains, the director of the first three parts of the “Pirates of the Caribbean”, presented the animated film “Rang”.

Johnny Depp voiced the main character - the home chameleon, by coincidence of the desert. Johnny Depp presented facial expressions, plastic and voice to Hameleon Rango in the year Johnny Depp reincarnated into an Indian for the film Lone Ranger. His colorful character was nominated for the Golden Raspberry Anti -Nagrad along with the heroes of Adam Sandler and Sylvester Stallone, a well -deserved “veteran” of this award.

The most spectators of the comedic western tormented the question: “Why does Johnny Depp carry a crow on the head? Such a fate was waiting for the film “Excellence” that was released in the year - the audience saturated with the “cyberpunk” genre did not appreciate the visual experiment of the director Wally Poster, the former operator Christopher Nolan. Supporters of the opinion that after the “Pirates of the Caribbean”, Depp lost part of the individuality, once again established themselves in this after the premiere of Mordecade, the main characters of which were the resourceful crook and art dodge and his wife performed by Gwyneth Paltrow.

This film was brought by Johnny to Depp two more nominations for the Golden Raspberry - “The worst actor” and “The worst screen tandem” “Johnny Depp and his glued mustache”. Johnny Depp played visitors to the entertainment park after failure was the first “serious” role in the Black Mass biographical drama - Gangster Wagter Barger, whose name was not yet able to forget the inhabitants of Boston.

The film did not receive high assessments of critics, but we can say that Johnny Depp was “rehabilitated” - he and the star of the British series “Sherlock” Benedict Cumberbatch, who played the brother of Balger, distracted the attention of the audience from frankly raw script. As in the last part, Depp reincarnated into a crazy hatchman. In the year, the premiere of the fifth part of the “Pirates of the Carbian Sea” was held, where Depp again returned to the role of Jack Sparrow.
