Johnny Depp

by Vallie from Manhattan


"I'm doing things that are true to me. The only thing I have a problem with is being labeled." Johnny Depp. As a kid you expect to be raised by two people, your mother and your father. You wanted to graduate high school, stay in one place not move, what seems to like a million times. Didn't you? You have probably never even thought about living in your car, or selling pens to make money. That definitely doesn't sound like a set up to become famous, now, does it? Well Johnny Depp made it a set up, despite his rough up bringing, he is an inspiration, he stayed determined, loyal to himself, and passionate to his career.

A man who didn't give up even though everything in his life was telling him to. That is determination, staying dedicated to his dream, Johnny Depp wasn't about to give up on something he loved so much. That was his music career at the time; he wasn't going to let any thing or one tell him, he can't have what he wanted. Johnny not giving up on his music, showed him a new dream, something he is absolutely amazing at. Acting.

What Johnny got into acting it was because of a friend. This friend helped Johnny realize how extraordinary he was at acting. Once Johnny got into the acting business, people knew who he was, he was a teen heart- throb. Depp was a major part in the TV series 21 Jump Street. After joining the cast his name was definitely known, but Depp's people thought he needed to change his look. They picked at him and told him he needed to change his clothes, hair, whatever else, but Johnny said no. He was going to stay loyal to himself and be who he really was.

Passionate is certainly a word you could use to describe Johnny Depp. Watching him perform his music, or even act, it is easy to tell he cares a lot about what he is doing. He gets so into his roles and brings something new to them every time. He has gone from Edward Scissors Hands, Jack Sparrow, Mad Hatter, to a cross dresser. When he is playing these people you don't think of him as Johnny Depp playing that role. He is that role! That person.

Johnny Depp, a man who found a dream, by chasing a different one. He never let something hold him down or tell him he can't. Depp was to determined to let anything stop him. Johnny being someone who is determined, loyal to himself, and passionate to his career.
