Johnny Depp was born on 9 June 1963 in America. He was the fourth son of their parents.

His mother was working as a waitress in hotels.

As his father was a drug addict, he had no permanent job.

So they had moved to more than 20 cities in America because of this alcoholic dad. 

So Johnny Depp doesn't have many friends due to this continuous migration. 

Johnny Depp spent most of his time in solitude.

To to get distracted from this loneliness, He started to concentrate on Music.

Due to the high cruelty done by his father, his mother divorced him and married another person. 

And Johnny Depp went along with his mother and stepdad.

At the age of 15, Johnny Depp discontinued from his school and he started to indulge in Music Industry. 

But his mother advised and then forced him to join the school again.

Johnny Depp became addicted to drugs as a result his school principal denied his admission because of his drug addiction and influencing other students.

After some years, he left his home and planned to live on his own. 

At first, he joined an underground band group and started to participate in music competitions. 

At the age of 20, he fell in love with a girl who was the sister of his fellow bandmate. 

One day his bandmate came to know about this and scolded him.

But Johnny Depp married his sister despite his opposition. 

The truth is that Johnny Depp had worked as a Ballpoint salesman to support him and his wife.

One day, His wife introduced Johnny Depp to his ex-boyfriend Nicholas cage.

As we all know that he is the hero of the movie "Ghost Rider".

Nicholas cage noticed Johnny Depp's attitude, way of talking, style, drunken behavior and said to Johnny Depp that he could try to become an actor and also he has a bright future. 

At first, Johnny Depp doesn't consider this.

But due to the pressure of his wife and Nicholas cage, Johnny Depp had started to participate in the auditions.

And had done many small movies and a TV series which is popularly known as "21 Jump Street".

At first, he started to cast in the teen-oriented film.

The American youngsters liked Johnny Depp's Casual Attitude and soon he was voted as the icon of teenagers.

Everyone began to celebrate him as a Hollywood star and he became slightly popular among people.

But in the later period, His wife Divorced him. 

But this was not the only divorce in his life, he had been married and divorced many times. The personal life of Johnny Depp is not well.

Even though his movies were not hit among people, the character chosen by Johnny Depp will be different from other actors. 

He introduced many new characters that none of the actors had tried. 

In his personal life, he will love and marry, and also he tattoos his wife's name on his hand. 

But they will divorce him soon. Nothing but only their names will be there in his hand.

Even he had said in many interviews that he was an unlucky person in love.

He had the feeling of not being popular among kids even though he chose different characters. 

At that time, Disney had planned to produce a movie which is titled "Pirates of the Caribbean" and the process was started in 1999.

All the characters were planned to cast by many actors, But a captain character was left out and the character's name is "Jack Sparrow"

But this character was not given the main role in the movie. It is just a supporting character. 

At first, this character was planned to cast by Hugh jackman. 

This is the reason for the name "jack" in this character.

As Hugh jackman is popular in America, he denied casting this role.

During a funny conversation between the script writers, one of them said that what would if the captain role could be a drunken person?

Another person said jokularly that Johnny Depp could do this as he was a real drunken person. 

And some scriptwriters thought about this and planned to gave this captain jack sparrow role to Johnny Depp. 

As Johnny Depp was thinking about an entertaining and comedy character, he was given this opportunity to act as a captain of the ship. 

He read the whole script in his house and analysed the pirate's behavior, style, slang, etc...

And he had practiced perfectly. 

The next day he performed this role in front of the scriptwriters.

Some of them said that this is not a comedy or mental character. Everyone criticized him. 

But Johnny Depp was stubborn with his decision and said that he will only do this kind of role otherwise he'll leave the movie.

And one of the producers had great hope in Johnny Depp and gave him the chance to act according to his own style.

And the shooting was started.

Johnny Depp gave his full effort to perform in this character. 

As a result of his hard work and dedication, the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" attained a massive hit among the people.

And he became so much popular all around the world. He became one of the famous Hollywood actors.

He had been nominated 10 times for Golden Globe awards.

His net worth is estimated at around 200 million dollars after losing 650 million dollars some years ago.

Even he had spent a huge amount of dollars for Wine alone 🍷.

But the achievements and the dedication he had are enormous.

Even though he had this bad habit of alcohol, Never mind it and think about his positive side.

From my perspective, get inspired by everyone in this world.

Because each person could teach you something. Even if you inspire a bad person, gather the good things from them and leave the bad ones.

Even if you took Hitler as an example, he had done some good things and helped build many inventions that are transformed into revolutionary inventions now.

But he was known by the majority of people because of his cruelty. 

So just get inspiration from everyone around the world.
