Johnny Depp (2019)

John "Johnny" Christopher Depp II (born June 9, 1963 in Owensboro , Kentucky ) is an American actor and rock musician . He has been one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood since 2008 . He became internationally known in the late 1980s through the television series 21 Jump Street . His popularity increased with the portrayal of the eccentric Captain Jack Sparrow in the pirate series Pirates of the Caribbean . Depp, who in his films primarily embodies unusual and extravagant characters as well as real people from the past and present, was named best actor in a comedy or musical with a for his role in Sweeney Todd - The Devilish Barber from Fleet Street Golden Globe award. He has also been nominated three times for an Oscar , nine more times for a Golden Globe, four times for the Screen Actors Guild Award and five times for the Saturn Award .

Childhood and youth

family

Depp is the son of the waitress Betty Sue Palmer, b. Wells († 2016), and the engineer John Christopher Depp I. He is of German and Irish descent and great-grandson of a Cherokee Indian and a descendant of Huguenots . He grew up the youngest of four children with two sisters, Debbie and Christie, and an older brother named Dan (Daniel); two of them are half-siblings from a previous marriage of his mother. His family moved so often (up to the age of 15 there were more than 20 moves) that at some point he no longer introduced himself to the other children. When Johnny was seven years old (1970), his family moved from Kentucky to Miramar , a suburb of Miami in the US state of Florida , where he spent childhood and adolescence.

music

Thanks to his big brother's records (he heard the soundtrack for Clockwork Orange , Bob Dylan , Van Morrison and especially Kiss ), Depp developed a great love for music; In addition, he is said to have been very impressed by the gospel choir, which his uncle as pastor and his cousin led.

He got his first guitar at the age of twelve, which his mother bought from a cousin, and he taught himself to play with a stolen chord book. He later claimed that playing guitar saved him in his youth. At the age of 13 he founded his first band Flame . They performed in various clubs in the area, for which Johnny had to pretend to be older or to sneak into the clubs because he was still a minor.

Drugs, rebellion etc.

With the nightclub appearances and the environment that they bring with them, he changed. Family and personal difficulties expressed themselves in self-harming behavior ( borderline syndrome ), alcohol and drug consumption . He started smoking when he was twelve. He hung out with guys who misbehaved, broke into houses and schools, committed vandalism, stole things from stores, and fought with others. At the age of 13 he had sex for the first time with a girl who was always present at his concerts. His drug experiments began in early adolescence. He'd taken pretty much every drug he could get by the age of 14, so his teachers thought he would end up in jail at some point. He said he took drugs and pills, but mostly drank alcohol. But he was never an addict and, in particular, was never a “cokehead” (a sniff of cocaine) because he had always despised this drug. He took the drugs out of a combination of boredom, stupidity and curiosity, and because he no longer wanted to feel anything.

He hated school and was bored in class. He always felt out of place and as an outsider.

He was not even aware that family life at home was not normal. Only when he was invited to dinner with a friend and they ate together (no hillbilly food and everyone from the family was present) did he notice the difference.

Parents divorced and dropped out of school

After their parents' divorce in 1978, Depp dropped out of high school at the age of 15 to become a rock musician . Two weeks after dropping out of school, he began to doubt whether this was really such a good decision, and asked the dean of Miramar High School if they would take him back. The dean told him that they didn't want him anymore and that he should pursue his band business. After his parents separated, Johnny lived with two of his siblings with his mother whom he adores (he has a tattoo with her name on his arm). His sister Debbie moved in with his father; he had always been loyal to him.

For a few weeks he lived with his best friend Sal Jenco (to support) in his car because he had been thrown out of his home and didn't know where to go.

His parents' divorce bothered him, although it was foreseeable, as his parents often argued. His grief was also expressed in the cracks. His brother encouraged him the way of Jack Kerouac reading. Depp later said of this book that it was like a Bible for him because it was about someone who is sorry for everything around them and that everything is prescribed to you; who has his dreams and is looking for the real thing. He now read other books from the Beat Generation ( Allen Ginsberg , William S. Burroughs , Gregory Corso , Neal Cassady ). With the divorce and the books, he began to think a lot and about all kinds of things; he made the decision to turn away from hard drugs, not lead a normal, predictable life and become a musician.

Attempts as a professional musician and early marriage

His band Flame changed the name to The Kids . She gained local fame in Florida, mostly as the opening act that played covers. However, they (usually) didn't make a lot of money. When he was 18, they even opened up for Iggy Pop .

He met Lori Anne Allison, five years his senior, through a band member of the kids . She was the sister of the friend of his bandmate and so came to work as a make-up artist for the band (the band tried to stand out with striking stage styling), and she was also a musician. They became a couple and at the age of 20 he married her on December 20, 1983. He later admitted that this was an attempt to lead a safe family life, but that he was not even really in love with Lori Anne. He is also not sure whether he had ever really loved someone before he was 30.

After the wedding, his band in Los Angeles tried to realize their dream of fame. His band (which supposedly changed its name to Six Gun Method at some point ) did appear in Hollywood, but there wasn't a lot of money to be made from them, and again, they were often just opening act for others. Because of the money problems, Depp started part-time jobs (including working in construction, at the gas station and trying his hand at telephone marketing, where his job was to sell pens and watches). Then when he started acting in 1984, The Kids ended ; Meanwhile there was also a new band for him called Rock City Angels .

He and Lori Anne divorced in 1985 after about two years of marriage; they had separated earlier. They remained friends, which led to Depp meeting Lori's new boyfriend. It was Nicolas Coppola, the nephew of director Francis Ford Coppola , who later made a career as an actor under the name Nicolas Cage .

Career start

1980s

In 1984, aged 21, his friend Nicolas Cage helped him audition for the film A Nightmare on Elm Street (released Nov. 1984) to make some money. In the film, he played the main character's friend, played by Heather Langenkamp .

This was followed by other supporting roles in various, rather insignificant films (including Private Resort , Slow Burn ). In 1986 he played a supporting role as a translator in the Vietnam war film Platoon by Oliver Stone . Depp was frustrated when he learned that many of his few scenes had been cut out. It wasn't because he played badly - it was the opposite. All actors who had to push their limits had to go through a 13-day training camp on location in the Philippines beforehand and were basically trained like soldiers. Even so, Platoon was the first film in which he really felt like an actor. With the supporting role of the private learner, he also became aware of the possibilities that film offers compared to television.

Nevertheless, at the beginning he only saw acting as a way to finance his musician existence. He didn't take the matter very seriously, it just seemed relatively easy to get money. It was only in 1986 that he realized that it was his job now, and then started to really learn acting. Over the years, however, a passion developed from it:

“[…] And it wasn't to around 1986 that I decided I should… that somehow it had become my career. And I should - learn. But ... Can it be a need? It is at this point a need. But it could change, you know. I need to do it, um, I don't know why but I feel the need to do it. I feel the need to create right now. "

“[...] It wasn't until around 1986 that I decided that I ... that it somehow became my career. And that I - should learn. But ... is it a necessity? Right now it's a necessity. But it could change, you know. I have to do it, um, I don't know why, but I feel the need to do it. I feel that it is necessary to create something right now. "

- Johnny Depp; TV interview with Le Journal du cinéma in France, 1993

After various supporting roles, Depp attended several drama schools before the series 21 Jump Street, which was broadcast on American television in 1987, gave his career a decisive boost.

He took classes at The Loft Studio in LA, La Brea Ave, because he had no idea what he was doing. He was u. a. Taught by Peggy Feury and Sandra Seacat. He also picked out what worked for him from drama books and the different acting methods. He mentioned Konstantin Sergejewitsch Stanislawski , Lee Strasberg , Eric Morris and To the Actor by Michael Chekhov and On Method Acting by Edward Dwight Easty.

The breakthrough with 21 Jump Street (1987-1990)

In four seasons Depp played for three years (from 1987 to 1990, episodes 1-81) the main role in the American television series 21 Jump Street (5 seasons were produced until 1991). Depp, who played a juvenile maladjusted undercover cop in this production , became an international teen idol due to the success of the series. In later interviews he criticized the fact that he was marketed as such and degraded to a commodity. At the same time, he emphasized that despite the knowledge and experience gained through this series, he would never want to experience something comparable again.

At some point he was so disgusted with the whole series that he wanted to be fired. But since he was the star of one of the most successful series on the producing television channel Fox , and that meant a lot of money for the makers, it didn't work out.

Consolidation as a character actor

1990s

1992 at the Cannes Film Festival

In order to break away from his status as a teenage star, Depp chose his cinema roles carefully and regardless of any box office poison . In relation to this, he explained that he always composed his characters from three parts: a third of Lee Strasberg's method acting , a third of the traits of real people he knew and a third of specially added quirks .

In 1990 Depp played his first leading role in a movie in the musical parody Cry Baby , directed by John Waters . With the nomination for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in the fantasy tragic comedy Edward Scissorhands , he achieved a great success that same year. As part of this production, he worked for the first time with the director Tim Burton , whom he valued . At the same time, with his role as the artificially created person Edward, he managed to break away from the chic image of the series 21 Jump Street and to prove his versatility. The following year he starred in the rebellious as a rock star music video for Into the Great Wide Open of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers with.

In 1993 he took on the lead role alongside Mary Stuart Masterson of the quiet, imaginative eccentric Sam in the melancholy romantic comedy Benny and Joon , for which he was also nominated for a Golden Globe and an MTV Movie Award . Leading roles in Arizona Dream , directed by Emir Kusturica, and in Lasse Hallström's family drama Gilbert Grape - Somewhere in Iowa alongside Leonardo DiCaprio and Juliette Lewis followed soon after .

In 1994, Depp played the title role of B-Movie director Edward D. Wood in Tim Burton's Ed Wood, alongside Martin Landau as the abandoned Dracula star Bela Lugosi . This was followed in 1995 by Dead Man , a black-and-white western by Jim Jarmusch that plays with Kafkaesque themes, and the love story Don Juan DeMarco , in which he played the world's greatest lover in the title role as a supposedly mentally ill person . Later that year, Depp played guitar in That Woman's Got Me Drinking , a song by his friend Shane MacGowan . In the accompanying music video he also took on the lead role.

In 1995 he tried his hand at music and released the self-titled debut album with his band P , which includes a cover version of the ABBA classic Dancing Queen . Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea and Butthole Surfers singer Gibby Haynes were guest musicians . Although commercial success did not materialize, the sound carrier developed into a collector's item on the relevant stock exchanges. In 1997 Depp played slide guitar in Fade In-Out , a song from the Oasis album Be Here Now .

Following the mafia film Donnie Brasco (1997), in which he can be seen as FBI agent alongside Al Pacino , he acted for the first time as a director with The Brave and at the same time took on the lead role of the Indian family father Raphael, who lived in poverty . The film was nominated for the Palme d'Or in Cannes in 1997. Other leading roles followed, including as a sports reporter in the literary film adaptation of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) or as an antiquarian in Roman Polański's mystery thriller The Nine Gates (1999). In 1999, Depp worked again with Tim Burton in the horror tale Sleepy Hollow . Contrary to his assumption that a large studio would never tolerate his basic design of the role of detective - "a mixture of Miss Marple , Sherlock Holmes and a pubescent girl" - the film was positively received by the audience. He was nominated for the Saturn Award in the Best Leading Actor category. In November 1999, Depp was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame .

2000s

as Jack Sparrow (wax figure at Madame Tussauds )

The start of the pirate series Pirates of the Caribbean in Pirates of the Caribbean achieved a worldwide box-office hit in 2003, with box office profits of more than 654 million US dollars. When portraying Captain Jack Sparrow , Depp was based on the guitarist Keith Richards and mimicked his slightly swaying gait and slurping voice, making him seem like he was in constant intoxication. He said he considered pirates to be the rock stars of their time and Richards to be the greatest of all rock stars. For this acting performance, he was nominated for an Oscar as best leading actor and was awarded the Screen Actors Guild Award as such by the actors' guild . In 2004 he received another Oscar nomination for Best Actor for his portrayal of Peter Pan author JM Barrie in the melodrama When Dreams Learn to Fly . In the thriller The Secret Window (2004), based on a novel by Stephen King , Depp played the multiple identity disorder writer Mort Rainey.

2005 followed with the portrayal of the factory owner Willy Wonka in the second film version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the fourth collaboration with Tim Burton and a nomination for the Golden Globe for best leading actor in a comedy or musical. The collaboration continued in the same year with Burton's animated film Corpse Bride - Wedding with a Corpse , in which Depp lent his voice to the main character Victor van Dort.

In 2006, Pirates of the Caribbean - Pirates of the Caribbean 2 - the highest-grossing film of its career to date. With sales of more than $ 1 billion, the production ranks eleventh among the world's most successful films of all time. The third part of the pirate series, titled Pirates of the Caribbean - At the end of the world , opened in Germany in May 2007 and again sold around 941 million US dollars.

From December 2007 he was the main actor in the film adaptation of the musical Sweeney Todd - The Devilish Barber from Fleet Street by Tim Burton, for which he was nominated for an Oscar in 2008 for best actor. In the 2009 film adaptation of the literature, Public Enemies , Depp played the internationally known bank robber John Dillinger , who was once described by the FBI as Public Enemy No. 1 and who was persecuted and killed as such.

Johnny Depp has been friends with Keith Richards for several years . He was often a guest at Richard's son Marlon. Keith Richards thought Depp was his son's drug dealer for a long time. It was only when his true identity was cleared up that Richards became aware of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" films and was then even persuaded by Depp to play the role of Depp's film father Captain Teague as a gag in the next films in the series . They have been close friends ever since. In July 2013, Depp announced that he had completed his current directorial work, a documentary about Keith Richards. He had invested four years in production.

Miscellaneous

When he was about twelve years old, he tried fire-breathing. He put gasoline in his mouth, blew it in a flame and suddenly his face burned. A friend called Bones saved him and smothered the fire. After the incident, he told his mother that he was hit by a firework. Johnny Depp was very lucky; it was not disfigured because the fire did not burn long, but it was left with a scar on the right cheek. It is also said that if you take a closer look you can see very fine scars on his face. The friend who helped him at the time had red hair, so Depp dyed his hair red for the film Gilbert Grape and adopted traits from Bones for the role of Gilbert Grape. Through an interview with Rolling Stone magazine in July 2013, it was revealed that Johnny Depp has been almost blind in his left eye since he was born. With that eye he sees everything blurred. The ametropia cannot be corrected surgically. He is nearsighted in the right eye and has been farsighted for a few years, so he needs glasses (the glasses do not improve visual acuity in the left eye, however).

He was friends with country legend Johnny Cash , actor Marlon Brando, and writer Hunter S. Thompson . Depp suffers from coulrophobia , the fear of clowns.
