Johnny Depp has been a household name for decades, starring in the likes of Edward Scissorhands, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Alice in Wonderland. However, the actor, 58, is taking a break from filming to attend his defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard, which is currently underway at Fairfax County Circuit Court, Virginia. Those who have seen clips from the court have been left scratching their heads at Depp’s accent, with many noting that it doesn’t resemble his birthplace.
But where does Depp originally come from – and where does he live now?Johnny Depp is American, born in Owensboro, Kentucky in 1963. However, he spent only his earliest years there, moving to the city of Miramar, Florida around age seven. He then moved to Los Angeles, California when he was a teenager.
It’s believed he currently lives in the Hollywood Hills neighbourhood of LA. When he isn’t in his LA penthouse, Depp resides in his very own private island. Depp’s 45-acre private island is located in the Bahamas.
It has six white sand beaches, a palm tree-lined lagoon, and solar-powered houses. The island is where Johnny and ex-wife Amber Heard reportedly held their wedding party following their intimate ceremony in Los Angeles in 2015. He reportedly first laid eyes on the island while filming Pirates of the Caribbean and purchased it for $3.
6 million (£2. 86 million) in 2004, according to Forbes. The island is known as Little Hall’s Pond Cay, but the actor is said to have renamed it to Lilly Rose Beach after his daughter.
Discussing the purchase in 2009, Depp told Vanity Fair, ‘I don’t think I’d ever seen any place so pure and beautiful. You can feel your pulse rate drop about 20 beats. It’s instant freedom.
