Early Life and Ancestry

Johnny Depp was born on June 9, 1963, in Owensboro, Kentucky, to Betty Sue Palmer, a waitress, and John Christopher Depp, a civil engineer. As the youngest of four children, Depp’s childhood was characterized by frequent moves. He and his siblings lived in more than twenty different homes before settling in Miramar, Florida, in 1970. Depp’s parents divorced when he was 15, and his mother later remarried Robert Palmer, whom Depp has described as an influential figure in his life. Depp fondly remembers Palmer, paying tribute to him during a Grammy performance, recounting a memorable toast shared by his stepfather.

At the age of 12, Depp received a guitar from his mother, which sparked his passion for music. After his parents』 divorce, Depp dropped out of Miramar High School to pursue his dream of becoming a musician. Despite attempts to return to school, his principal encouraged him to follow his passion for music. He was a member of the local band The Kids from 1980 to 1984, which later rebranded as Six Gun Method before disbanding. He also collaborated with the band Rock City Angels and co-wrote their song 「Mary,」 which appeared on their debut album Young Man's Blues.

In 1983, Depp married Lori Anne Allison, the sister of the bassist and singer of his band. While she worked as a makeup artist, Depp took on various odd jobs, including working as a telemarketer.

Depp’s ancestry is predominantly English, with some French, German, and Irish roots. He also claims to have Native American ancestry, though his assertions have been met with skepticism. Despite facing criticism from the Native American community for his portrayal of the character Tonto in The Lone Ranger (2013), Depp's role was supported by LaDonna Harris, a member of the Comanche Nation, who adopted him as an honorary son. However, Depp’s connections to Native heritage remain controversial. In 2019, a Dior ad featuring Depp and Native American imagery was criticized for cultural appropriation and racism.
