Johnny Depp Father: Who Is John Christopher Depp?

John Christopher Depp II was born on June 9, 1963, in Owensboro, Kentucky, the youngest of four children of waitress Betty Sue Palmer (née Wells) and civil engineer John Christopher Depp.

John Christopher Depp was born in 1938 to Violet Mattie Grinstead and Oren Larramore Depp. He is 83 years old and is still alive.

He was married to his wife Betty Sue Palmer but got divorced in 1978 when Johnny Depp was young.

John Christopher Depp has four children including Johnny Deep.

His other three children are Daniel Depp, Debbie Depp, and Christi Depp.

John Christopher Depp has two grandchildren named Lily-Rose Depp and Jack Depp.

Depp Jr.’s family moved frequently during his childhood, eventually settling in Miramar, Florida, in 1970.

Depp’s mother gave him a guitar when he was 12, and he began playing in various bands. He dropped out of Miramar High School at 16 in 1979 to become a rock musician.

He attempted to go back to school two weeks later, but the principal told him to follow his dream of being a musician. In 1980, Depp began playing in a band called The Kids.

After modest local success in Florida, the band moved to Los Angeles in pursuit of a record deal, changing its name to Six Gun Method. In addition to the band, Depp worked a variety of odd jobs, such as in telemarketing.

In December 1983, Depp married makeup artist Lori Anne Allison, the sister of his band’s bassist and singer. The Kids split up before signing a record deal in 1984, and Depp began collaborating with the band Rock City Angels.

He co-wrote their song “Mary”, which appeared on their debut Geffen Records album Young Man’s Blues. Depp and Allison divorced in 1985.
