Johnny Depp reveals ‘fame is the last thing' he wanted

Johnny Depp never wanted to be famous.

The 62-year-old actor, one of the top names of Hollywood for the past four decades, just revealed that “pleasing” people was never part of his life plans.

He told The Sunday Times, "Well, fame is the last thing I ever chased.”

"If you look at the 9,000 years that I’ve been doing this s**t, it’s pretty clear that I wasn’t ever thinking how I could be more famous, make a hit or please the press. Fame is an occupational hazard — but if I spout off about how upset I am, people will say, ‘Sweetheart, take a job pulling trash bags,’” the Edward Scissorhands star claimed.

Additionally, Depp, who grew up with three other siblings and saw his parents divorce when he was a teenager, admitted that the "dynamics changed" once his siblings got married and he found himself having to "step in and out" to balance family life.

"My brother had his problems with the parents,” the Pirates of the Caribbean actor recalled, adding, "There were many episodes of conflict — he and my father would duke it out — and Debbie had her problems with them too.”

“Then Danny got married. Soon Debbie got married too, so it was only me and Christi. Then Christi got married, so it was only me. And dynamics changed. It was almost as if I was used to conflict. It was not abnormal. I did my best to just step in and out,” Johnny Depp concluded.
