Johnny Depp's History
Born as John Christopher Depp II on June 9, 1963, Johnny Depp is one of the most well-known and popular male actors in the United States. Depp started his career in entertainment in 1978, when he formed a rock band and dropped out of high school. His band eventually got a record deal, and Depp also married his makeup artist girlfriend in those days, Lori Anne Allison. (They divorced in 1985).
First Big Break
Johnny Depp's first acting role of any size was in the movie A Nightmare on Elm Street, in which he played one of Freddy's victims. His next big break happened in 1987, when he was given a lead role in the TV show 21 Jump Street. This show really catapulted his popularity, and Depp became a teen idol. He hated this status, and promised himself that he would only take roles in movies that he liked.
Movie Star
Some of Johnny Depp's most famous roles have been in Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and most recently, the two films in the series Pirates of the Caribbean, where he played Captain Jack Sparrow. Today he lives in France with his girlfriend Vanessa Paradis and his two children.
Johnny Depp's Tattoos
Johnny Depp's tattoos are numerous - he has 13 of them. On his right forearm, he is the proud owner of a bird tattoo, a sparrow, to be exact - and the name Jack written above it. Many people think that this tattoo commemorates Depp's role as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean, but it is actually an homage to his son, Jack. The other tattoo on this forearm is a symbol that means "The Brave".
On Johnny's right bicep is a tattoo that reads "Wino Forever" (it used to say "Winona Forever", for his relationship with Winona Ryder. He had the tattoo modified after they broke up.) There is also a tattoo of the head of a Native American located here. On his left bicep, there are also two tattoos - one that is an inverted triangle, and a heart name tattoo that reads "Betty Sue" (his mother's name).
Depp also has three small triangle tattoos on his right index finger, and a tattoo of the number three on his left hand (between the thumb and index fingers). He has several leg tattoos as well. One is a skull and crossbones that says "Death is Certain", and another is an unknown symbol located on his right ankle. Finally, Depp also has a tattoo for his daughter that includes her name, Lily-Rose. This tattoo is located over his heart.
