KMC Forums - johnny on biography

I visited much Johnny Depp Weeb, English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Italian so and German. The biography of Johnny Deppe always starts with:

Johnny's life began in Owensboro, Kentucky on June 9, 1963. His parents moved the family to Miramar, Florida when he was very young. When he was twelve, his mother bought him a guitar which became his obsession. Johnny decided to drop out of school at age 16 to concentrate on his music career. He played guitar for a group called The Kids who opened for several prominent acts including Iggy Pop. He and his band moved to Los Angeles with high hopes of making it big. He was married at age 20 to makeup artist, Lori Allison. His career as a musician failed to skyrocket and he resorted to selling pens over the phone to make ends meet. A divorce soon followed. But during those years Johnny got a lucky break, Lori had introduced him to actor Nicolas Cage. Although at first they did not like each other, they became good friends. Nicolas convinced him to try acting and he signed on with Cage's agent. His first audition was for a part in Wes Craven's "A Nightmare on Elm Street". Mr. Craven asked his daughter who she thought should get the part of Glen and she picked Johnny. Although not an illustrious beginning (being eaten by a bed in the movie), Johnny's movie career was launched. After a couple of other movies and no more offers, Johnny was convinced by his agent to take a role on the TV show "21 Jump Street". Since money and offers weren't rolling in, and he felt the show would last only a short time, he accepted. The show became popular with teens and the Fox TV executives began to push Johnny as a teen idol. Much to his chagrin, he became the premiere male teen idol, the ultimate symbol of cool, and the TV show dragged on for four years. He spoofed his teen idol role in his next movie, called "Cry Baby", and started to change his cutesy image for one of a serious actor.
Or....Early life
Johnny Depp was born in Owensboro, Kentucky to John Christopher Depp Sr. and Betty Sue Palmer. He has one brother, Danny, and two sisters, Christie (who was formerly Johnny's personal manager) and Debbie. The Depp family has mostly Irish, German and Cherokee ancestry. The book "Johnny Depp: A Kind of Illusion" (ISBN 1-905287-04-6) states that the Depp family originated with a French huguenot Pierre Deppe or Dieppe who settled in Virginia around 1700. Johnny Depp has said he doesn't know the origin of his surname, but he repeatedly jokes that the name translates to "idiot" in German (which is actually true in German slang). Depp's maternal great-grandmother, Minnie, was a full-blooded Cherokee, and his father also has distant Cherokee heritage. The family was constantly on the move during Depp's childhood, and he and his siblings lived in more than twenty different locations, finally settling in Miramar, Florida in 1970, when he was 7. Depp engaged in self-harm as a child, owing to the stress of dealing with family problems and his own insecurity. He has seven or eight scars from practicing self-harm. In a 1993 interview, he explained his self-injury by saying that "his body is a journal in a way. It's like what sailors used to do, where every tattoo meant something, a specific time in your life when you make a mark on yourself, whether you do it yourself with a knife or with a professional tattoo artist"

Aunque naci� en Kentucky, Johnny Depp se cri� en Florida. En un principio iba para m�sico: form� parte de varios grupos de rock, y uno de ellos, The Kids, tuvo bastante �xito. No se interes� por el cine hasta algo m�s tarde, cuando su esposa en aquel tiempo le present� al actor Nicolas Cage. Fue �l quien le anim� a intentar ser actor.Debut� en 1984 con Pesadilla en Elm Street, donde daba vida a una de las v�ctimas de Freddy (a�os despu�s, siendo ya una estrella, hizo un cameo en otra entrega de la saga). A aquel primer film siguieron otros, entre ellos el oscarizado Platoon de Oliver Stone. Pero lo que realmente marc� su carrera y le convirti� en �dolo de adolescentes fue protagonizar durante cuatro temporadas la serie 21 Jump Street.

C'est dans un village du Kentucky que John Christopher Depp passe son enfance jusqu'au d�m�nagement de la famille en Floride. La perte de son grand-p�re qu'il adore et le divorce de ses parents contribuent � faire de lui un adolescent rebelle, insoumis et accro aux drogues. Gr�ce aux spectacles gospel de ses cousins, il se d�couvre une passion pour la guitare �lectrique et rejoint un groupe nomm� The Flame, puis The Kids. Apr�s des concerts dans les bars et la premi�re partie d'un spectacle d'Iggy Pop, ils d�cident de partir � Los Angeles. Mais c'est un �chec et ils se s�parent. C'est son mariage avec Lori Allison qui am�ne ce passionn� de musique au cin�ma. Apr�s une rencontre avec Nicolas Cage, deux petits films et quelques cours de th��tre, il obtient un r�le dans 'Platoon', puis devient, contre son gr�, la vedette d'une s�rie, '21 Jump Street'. Sa carri�re est d�sormais lanc�e ! Voulant rompre avec l'image de 'beau gosse' qu'il a v�hicul�e, il est tr�s exigeant dans le choix de ses films et cela lui r�ussit bien. De 'Cry Baby' au 'Chocolat', en passant par 'Edward aux mains d'argent', 'Dead Man', 'Las Vegas Parano', 'Charlie et la chocolaterie' ou encore Pirate des Cara�bes', sa filmographie et la diversit� de ses r�les sont aussi impressionnantes que ses talents d'acteur, loin de n'�tre dus qu'� son charme !

虽然约翰尼�德普出生在肯塔基州，但是他却是在佛罗里达州长大的。15岁时他的父母离异，这让他一度成为成为不良少年并染上毒瘾。在舅父的唱诗班他迷恋上了音乐，还曾经自组摇滚乐队。在1983年，为了成为摇滚歌手，他前往洛杉矶发展。同年，他与他的第一任妻子，化妆师Lori Anne Allison结婚，并通过她认识了尼古拉斯�凯奇。正是在他的大力引荐下，约翰尼�德普开始踏入影视圈，走上星路。
