HOLLYWOOD\'S FAVOURITE SON? Johnny Depp is probably the most popular and best-paid actor in the world. He is appearing in several big films this year. Pirates of the Caribbean 3 is being shown in cinemas across the world right now and he is making a new film at the moment.

Johnny Depp was born in Kentucky in 1963 and he grew up in Florida. He dropped out of school at sixteen because he wanted to be a rock star.

His first movie role was a small part in the 1984 film Nightmare on Elm Street. He met his current partner, French pop singer Vanessa Paradis, while he was making a film in France in 1998. Apparently, he saw her when she was coming out of a Paris hotel and he immediately fell in love with her! The couple have two children and live in a small village in France.
