　　约翰尼·德普出生于1963年。他的童年并不幸福，通常会通过自残来战胜羞怯。他称身上的伤疤和纹身就像他的人生旅程。十二岁那年，母亲为他买了一把吉他。在成为摇滚巨星的道路上，他几经坎坷。几年以后，他用吉他演奏了一首绿洲乐队歌曲。

　　In 1983 he married Lori Allison, a Hollywood make-up artist. She introduced him to the actor Nicolas Cage, who encouraged him to take up acting³. His break came the following year with a role in "A Nightmare on Elm Street". This was the first of many successful films that would make Depp one of Hollywood’s top earners.

　　Depp’s marriage ended in divorce in 1985. He became romantically involved with celebrities⁴ including actress Winona Ryder and supermodel Kate Moss⁵.
