On the beautiful bright day of June 9th a star was born. He was born in good ol' Kentucky although he was immediately taken and raised in Florida. Although he lived in florida his life wasn't always so sunny. His parents John and Betty Sue were hard working middle class people, with 3 children already making him the 4th. You know what they say the 4th child is usually the oddest and in this case its true. John was a civil engineer, and Betty sue being a full-blooded cherokee, did just as her ancestors before her and stayed as an at home mom, to nurture and raise her family. Being the youngest of 4 did take its tole and this young man, he was always very withdrawn as a child and even admits that he was sort of an oddball. "I made odd noises as a child," He later admitted "Just did weird things, like turn off light switches twice. I think my parents thought I had Tourette's Syndrome."
Because John never really had any one job for to long the family was constantly on the move. When the arrived at Marimar, Florida, John had no job and the family had to share a small motel room for almost a year. Until John finally got a job. As a young boy he hated his new home in Florida and by the age of 12 he started to rebel. He began smoking, experimenting with drugs, and even harming himself; It was his way to cope with all of the stress and frustration that he kept bottled up. "Puberty was very vague," he has said. "I literally locked myself in a room and played guitar." At the age of 15 his parents got divorced, and his already rocky relationship with his father got even rockier.
Most teenagers at the age of 16 cant even imagine what they want for the rest of their life's, but not this guy. At the age of 16 he knew school wasn't taking him the path that he wanted. So he dropped out and joined a little garage band called The Kids. Although The Kids never made it to the rock star level they did get pretty popular. Just 4 short years later Cupid and his arrows came into play as he meet Lori Allison, his first wife. They moved to L.A with the band, although they were living on a trapeze rope size budget they made it work, he got another job on the side but he wasn't happy this way.
Lori had her own past though, which includes dating many celebrates like Nicholas Cage. Her and Nicholas were still friends and so Lori introduced her husband to Nicholas. Nicholas being the intelligent man that he is saw potential in this man. And that's how his acting career started. After several small roles as a film extra, he finally landed his first legitimate movie role in the horror film Nightmare on Elm Street in 1984. By this time the bad has spilt up and so had his marriage to Lori.
His name is John Christopher Depp, but now he is widely known as Johnny Depp.
