How old is Johnny Depp?

John Christopher Depp is a successful and extremely charismatic American actor, director, cinema producer, and artist. He was born in 1963 in Kentucky and grew up in a crowded family of a waitress and an engineer. He has been interested in music since he was 12 when his mom bought him his first guitar. After finishing school he joined a rock band, the Kids, but could not achieve any success and had to work hard to make his living. In 1983 his friend, Nick Cage, advised Johnny to try to star his acting career, and very soon young Depp managed to obtain a small role in A Nightmare on Elm Street. He appeared in a number of TV shows, but his real success came after taking part in such moves as Edward Scissorhands and Crybaby, where Depp demonstrated his true acting talents. He has completely given up his thoughts of becoming a musician and got focused on pursuing a cinema acting career. In 1994 he starred in Ed Wood, followed by his brilliant performance in Donnie Brasco, where he played alongside Al Pacino. He directed his first movie The Brave in 1996, but it did not enjoy much popularity. In 2003, an overwhelming success with the role of Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl brought some new inspiration and opened new horizons for the actor. This role became a milestone in his career and brought a nomination for Academy Awards. These days, Johnny Depp continues filming and taking parts in various cinema projects. He was married to a French actress and singer, Vanessa Paradis, who is the mother of his two children. The couple divorced in 2012, and soon Depp got married to an American actress Amber Heard, whom he also divorced in 2017. Depp is interested in European cuisines and wines, and he has a few famous wineries.
