Facts About Johnny Depp You Might Not Know
You may know him as the iconic Captain Sparrow, the legendary Willy Wonka and the beloved Scissorhands. Behind all that makeup and outside those costumes however, is a man who has a fear of dancing and erm, plays with Barbies (LOL?!).
Johnny Depp has a few quirky and cool facts about him that you may not know. Delve in…
1. Johnny Depp Wanted to be a Rockstar…
Considering his huge talent, you’d think Johnny always wanted to be an actor. In fact, his initial dream was to become a rock star. He even dropped out of high school to pursue a career in music. When returning to school two weeks later, his principal encouraged him to follow his dreams and become a musician. He then went on to get a record deal in LA with his band, The Kids.
2. He Worked With Oasis!
Not only did Johnny have his own band, but he also once recorded with Oasis as the lead slide guitar on the band’s 1997 track Fade In-Out.
3. Johnny Depp is Famous Thanks to Nicolas Cage!
If it weren’t for Nicolas Cage, we may never have had the pleasure to watch Johnny take on so many delightful movie roles. It was Nicolas who helped him get his first acting job, hooking him up with his first agent. Johnny repaid Nicolas by offering to pay off his debt in 2007.
4. His First Ever Movie Was ‘A Nightmare Elm Street’
Wondering which movie Johnny first starred in? He first appeared on the big screen in the 1984 classic, A Nightmare on Elm Street. That’s right, he’s the cute guy who you probably had the hots for during the horror movie…
5. Johnny Was The Highest Paid Actor in 2012
Captain Sparrow would be proud! In 2012, Johnny was listed as the highest paid actor in the Guinness Book of World Records for earning a total of $75 million in 2011. That great amount of money was earned thanks to his most financially successful films, Pirates of the Caribbean and Alice in Wonderland, each grossing $3 billion and $1 billion, respectively.
And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
