15 Super Weird Facts About Johnny Depp

When I was a little kid, I was absolutely terrified of Johnny Depp. But can you blame me? When you’re a little kid and the only movie you’ve ever seen him in is Edward Scissorhands, it’s kind of hard to understand that he’s actually just a regular guy who doesn’t actually have sharp blades for fingers. As I got older and saw movies such as What’s Eating Gilbert Grape? and Donnie Brasco for the first time I started to realize that HEY! This guy is a pretty great actor! 

Depp has become known for taking on extremely interesting, and often eccentric, roles that many other actors wouldn’t even consider auditioning for. There’s no denying that he’s one of Hollywood’s finest players. 

1. He had like 20 different homes as a kid.

His early life basically consisted of moving around a lot, and it wasn’t until they landed in Miramar, Florida that they decided to settle. 

2. He actually dropped out of high school to become a rockstar.

He got his first guitar when he was 12, and instantly fell in love. 

3. His principal actually encouraged him to drop out.

After his parents forced him to go back to school, Depp’s principal encouraged him to follow his dreams. Shortly afterward, he left for LA. 

The rest is history!
