Full Name: John Christopher "Johnny" Depp II; Profession: American actor, producer, musician and former teen idol whose eclectic and unconventional film choices made him one of the most recognizable and influential screen stars of his era. Nationality: American; Born: June 9, 1963; Birthplace: Owensboro, Kentucky, United States; Generation: Baby Boomer (born near the end of the post–World War II baby boom generation, defined as those born between 1946 and 1964); Chinese Zodiac: Water Rabbit, as 1963 falls in the Year of the Rabbit in the Chinese zodiac and is identified with the Water element, a sign traditionally associated with sensitivity, creativity, diplomacy and a quest for comfort and artistic refinement; Zodiac Sign: Gemini, reflecting a quick, versatile, communicative and intellectually restless Sun sign that fits his chameleon-like acting persona; Age in 2026: 63 years old on June 9, 2026 (calculated from his 1963 birth year); Marital Status: Divorced (briefly married to makeup artist Lori Anne Allison from 1983 to 1985, marking his first marriage in his early twenties; later married actress Amber Heard in 2015 after several years of dating, a tumultuous union that ended with their divorce finalized in early 2017 amid intense public and legal scrutiny; in between those marriages, he spent fourteen years in a long-term but unmarried partnership with French singer, model and actress Vanessa Paradis from 1998 to 2012, a relationship he has often described as a period of domestic stability and family life); Children: Two children with Vanessa Paradis—daughter Lily-Rose Depp (born 1999 in France), who has become a successful model and actress in her own right; and son John Christopher "Jack" Depp III (born 2002), who has largely stayed out of the spotlight but is known for artistic talents, including drawing and occasional work in film. Description: Globally known as one of the most versatile and charismatic film actors of his generation, Depp first rose to fame in the late 1980s as undercover cop Tom Hanson in the television series "21 Jump Street," where his brooding looks and intensity turned him into a reluctant teen idol and household name across North America; dissatisfied with being typecast, he pivoted into offbeat, often gothic-inflected film roles, beginning with his breakthrough collaboration with director Tim Burton in "Edward Scissorhands" (1990), whose success established him as a quirky, risk-taking leading man and launched a long creative partnership that would span films like "Ed Wood," "Sleepy Hollow," "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," "Corpse Bride," "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" and "Dark Shadows"; he achieved colossal worldwide fame and box-office power as the roguish, swaggering yet strangely vulnerable Captain Jack Sparrow in Disney’s "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise, a performance widely credited with redefining the modern swashbuckling hero archetype and becoming one of the most iconic characters in contemporary blockbuster cinema; over the decades he has alternated between eccentric outsiders, literary figures and real-life personalities in films such as "Finding Neverland," "Donnie Brasco," "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," "Blow," "Public Enemies" and "Sweeney Todd," earning three Academy Award nominations for Best Actor without yet winning, while collecting major honors including a Golden Globe Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award among many other nominations and popular-vote prizes; his public image has encompassed not only acting but also music—performing with various rock projects—and an enduring association with bohemian, rebellious glamour, even as his private life, notably his relationships with Vanessa Paradis and Amber Heard and the ensuing legal battles, has generated intense media attention and polarized public opinion without erasing his status as a central figure in global celebrity culture; in astrological and generational terms, he embodies a late Baby Boomer Gemini with a Rabbit-year sensibility: a shape-shifting storyteller who channels restlessness, imagination and emotional complexity into characters that blur the line between mainstream star and avant-garde artist, making him arguably the single most internationally famous personality born on June 9, a date shared by fellow luminaries but dominated in contemporary popular consciousness by his name; Cause of Death: Not applicable, as he is alive as of 2026 and continues to work in film and music.
