early years
According to the Britannica encyclopedia, Johnny Depp dropped out of high school at age 16 to pursue music, moving from Florida (where he spent most of his childhood) to Los Angeles, California.
Once in Los Angeles, Depp met makeup artist Lori Anne Allison, whom he married in 1983. It was Allison who arranged an audition for Johnny Depp (through a friend of hers, actor Nicolas Cage, mentions Britannica). . This led to the young Depp getting his film debut in the film A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) in the scene where he is eaten by his own bed. He divorced Allison in 1985, adds Britannica.
What came for Johnny after that debut? According to IMDb, he had several participations in other productions, especially television, between 1984 and 1987. However, in that last year, Depp would take off as an actor.

Conflicted private life
The relationship between Johnny Depp and actress Amber Heard has been in conflict for years. They met in 2009 while filming the movie The Rum Diary. Six years later, in 2015, they married, and quickly became involved in a contentious separation in which both parties made accusations of bad behavior.
Heard then obtained a restraining order against Depp, although he later withdrew a petition to extend it.
In the complaint filed to obtain the restraining order, Heard alleged that Depp had been abusive and referred to his drug use. “Johnny has a long-standing, widely known public and private history of drug and alcohol abuse,” the actress said. Depp, for her part, has since denied the accusations.
In addition, the lawsuit concerned photos he had provided to the court showing injuries to his face after an alleged altercation with Depp.
In 2016 the couple settled their divorce, releasing a statement saying they “had agreed to resolve their divorce privately.” “Our relationship was intensely passionate and sometimes volatile, but always tied to love,” she said. But that was not the end of the conflict.
The confrontation between Johnny Depp and his ex-wife Amber Heard entered a new stage in April 2022: the beginning of a trial for defamation after a lawsuit filed by the former star of Pirates of the Caribbean against the actress following an article published in 2018.
