When Johnny Depp was seven years old, he and his family moved several times due to his father’s business, and finally settled in Miramar, Florida. The family lived in a motel for nearly a year, and then his father found a job to support the family.
He hated his new home and at the age of 12, he began smoking, taking drugs, and self-harming due to family problems. Johnny Depp’s parents divorced when he was 15 (1978). As the youngest of four children, it was his responsibility to go to his father’s office to collect weekly child support.

Profession
Johnny Depp began his career in 1983 when he married 25-year-old makeup artist Lori Anne Allison at the age of 20.

As the films became more successful, he established himself as a serious, slightly melancholic, and distinctive actor, often choosing roles that surprised critics and fans alike.
