Johnny Depp's first wife
Johnny Depp's first wife was makeup artist Laurie Ann Alison. They met in 1983 at a performance by The Kids and got married a few months later. Laurie was six years older than Johnny, who was just 20. Not surprisingly, their marriage fell apart, it is surprising that they managed to live together for two whole years.
It is Laurie, Depp owes the beginning of a career. The girl worked on set, was friends with the actors and introduced her boyfriend to Nicolas Cage. The actor introduced Depp to his agent and she became interested in a bright handsome man. It was Cage's agent who arranged Depp's first auditions, after which he got a role in "A Nightmare on Elm Street."
Laurie and Johnny's divorce was peaceful. Depp left his wife pleasant memories and his last name, which she still uses. Today, Laurie Ann Depp is a popular make-up artist who often works with photographers, but sometimes also participates in television projects.
Johnny Depp Girls
Immediately after the divorce, Johnny began dating actress Sherilyn Fenn. The young actress still had to star in the role of Audrey Horne in the cult TV series Twin Peaks, and while she is playing in the student short film Mannequins. On the set of this movie, fate pushes her against Johnny. They have been dating for about three years, from 1985 to 1987, and it even comes to engagement, but it was after her that the relationship began to decline and the couple broke up.
This was followed by a series of fleeting hobbies, the longest of which was an affair with actress Jennifer Gray, known for her role as "Baby" in "Dirty Dancing". And on the set of "Edward Scissorhands" 19-year-old Winona Ryder becomes Depp's partner. Already an accomplished actress, Winona is still a young and vulnerable girl. She has a crush on Johnny. He is also infatuated with her and even gets a Winona Forever tattoo. It comes down to the engagement again and dreams, and the break follows. Ryder was together from 1990 to 1993. Winona says the Depp breakup was her "first major grief."
Depp's next serious hobby is the twenty-year-old supermodel Kate Moss. Their romance lasts four years, and when Johnny leaves, Kate cannot recover for a long time. “Years and years of crying,” she says.
In 1998, Depp began dating French actress, singer and model Vanessa Paradis. Their relationship every year seems to be stronger and stronger, the couple has two children - daughter Lily Rose Melody and son John Christopher. However, in 2011, more and more often in the newspapers there are rumors that not everything is going smoothly in this family. The couple is hardly seen together at public events. And finally, in 2012, there is a public announcement of the separation.
The reason for Depp's separation from Paradis is often cited as an affair with Emer Heard, which began around the same time on the set of the movie The Rum Diary. However, Depp says in many interviews that their relationship began to "burn out" earlier due to the busy schedules of both, which too rarely allowed the couple to be together. Now Vanessa is happily married to director Samuel Benshetri.
Marriage and divorce with Amber Heard
Depp's romance with Amber Heard went public in 2012 after the actor broke up with Vanessa Paradis. In February 2015, they got married on Depp's private island in the Bahamas. It seemed that the actor should be incredibly happy. But fans noted that from day to day Johnny looks worse, sloppy, outrageous dapper style is slipping into grotesque.
In May 2016, Depp's mother dies. Three days later, Amber Heard files for divorce. Initially, the reason is "irreconcilable differences", but soon the actress makes a sensational statement - Depp beat her.
Depp's divorce from Heard has become one of the most scandalous and dirty processes among Hollywood couples. The actor categorically denies any accusations of physical abuse. One by one, all his former lovers stand up to protect him. They unanimously declare that Johnny never raised his hand to them - he never raised his voice that he was one of the softest and most caring men in their life.
During this period, Depp's life goes downhill. He starts having problems with financiers. After the accusations, Amber threatened his career - in Hollywood, men do not like beating women. It seems that he will not get up. He does stupid things, drinks, gets depressed.
However, time passes and Depp finds the strength to get back on his feet. He is again performing with the Hollywood Vampires rock band he created. Comes to terms with his management campaign and, more importantly for his fans and for him as an actor, brilliantly embodies Gellert's Grindelwald character. By the way, because of the scandal with Heard, this role could "go" to someone else, despite the fact that Depp had already, albeit for a short time, appeared in it in the first part of the franchise. However, J. K. Rowling strongly opposed this, making it clear that she did not believe in the charges against Depp.
Although the divorce has already taken place, Depp wants to clear his name. In March 2019, Johnny initiates a new trial, accusing his ex-wife of defamation. He provides the court with evidence that Amber was the aggressor in their relationship. That she inflicted the famous bruises on herself, and before that she had mutilated Johnny more than once and once even nearly deprived him of a finger by throwing a bottle of vodka at her husband.
Johnny says about his personal life now - "I am not happily married and I am not looking for love."
