It’s June 9th today, and Johnny turns 48! On behalf of all his fans, Johnny Depp Network extends it’s warmest wishes to Johnny and hopes he has a fantastic birthday with his family, friends and loved ones!
The Sun recently published a really inspiring interview they did with Johnny, in which he talked about growing up and how love, art and music helped him to make it through.
“When I was growing up I felt like a complete freak. I wish I had known that there were a lot of people out there like me, feeling the same way.
“I even felt weird at five. At the age of 12, I felt it was me against the world.
“I locked myself in my bedroom and played my guitar. It seemed as if I was in there for two or three years!
“It took years for me to feel comfortable with myself. I do not have to pretend any more about who I am and do not have to portray any image which is not myself.
“I wish I could have come to terms with who I was much earlier in my life, but I am sure a lot of people would say the same thing. I was able to play characters who were considered freaks to outsiders. But, to me, they were always real people. They felt love, anger and loneliness.
“I identified with these parts and was attracted by the emotions. I played Edward Scissorhands and Gilbert Grape in my twenties. What’s Eating Gilbert Grape was a difficult time for me.
“The content of the film was emotional and I would not want to see it again. I might dive back in to that feeling. I was feeling very dark making it, with a lot of stuff going on in my head.
“The character (caring for a brother with development disability and having an obese mother who refuses to leave the house) hit me a little too hard.
I apologize for the lack of updates, University has been hectic! Anyway, on to the updates, Johnny has been nominated in a handful of categories for this year’s Scream Awards!
Best Fantasy Actor – Alice in Wonderland
The Ultimate Scream – Alice in Wonderland
Best Fantasy Movie – Alice in Wonderland
3D Top Three – Alice in Wonderland

Johnny lent his mad guitar skills to a Haiti Relief charity single! Johnny, along with Chrissie Hynde, Nick Cave, Bobby Gillespie, Mick Jones, Paloma Faith, and Eliza Doolittle recorded a cover of “I Put a Spell on You” to benefit Concern Worldwide, a Dublin-based organization who have been helping in Haiti for 16 years.
The single will be released on March 8th, but you can go ahead and pre-order at the Concern Worldwide website!
Also, check out the video below! Johnny’s solo doesn’t start until the 3:47 mark.
“Sure, I find it touching, honestly, but awards are not as important to me as when I meet a 10-year-old kid who says, ‘I love Captain Jack Sparrow.’ That’s real magic for me.”
