Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp is considered one of the U.S.'s top film stars, with some of his major films being Nightmare on Elm Street, Edward Scissorhands, Platoon, and The Pirates of the Caribbean series. He is one of the highest paid actors, but lately has been spending his money on lawsuits against the people he worked with, and his ex-wife.

He was born in 1963 in Owensboro, Kentucky, but moved a lot in his childhood, finally ending up in Florida. At one point he dropped out of high school, in Florida, to form a rock band, and when he tried to get back into the school, the principal told him to stick to his dream. He has kept his musical activity up throughout his career, though he's much more famous for his acting. He has struggled with drugs and alcohol throughout his life, and a British judge recently said that he believed Depp's ex-wife, Amber Heard, that Depp had abused her several times. He has been involved in a number of brawls involving alcohol and drugs over the years, but his fan base is very loyal.
