In that service was an electric guitar, and that was the “first time he had ever seen one” (UXL Biographies, 1). Depp himself said in an interview “I got obsessed with the electric guitar. My mom bought me one for about twenty-five bucks... Then I locked myself in a room for a year and taught myself how to play” (UXL Biographies, 1).

He played in a group called the Flames and also the Kids for the next five years, before heading with his band to L.A. Although the band encountered burdening times in the beginning of their time in Los Angeles, they eventually “attained a measure of success” (UXL Biographies, 1).

Johnny took this especially hard; he did not take to school and started to act out, once being suspended for mooning the gym teacher. By the time he was 12, he was smoking and very soon to came drinking and drugs, there was even petty theft

Pirates of the Caribbean was the first film of Pirates. The whole movie was about Pirates, their lifestyle such as stealing a boat from other people which were shown in the movie when Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) stole a boat from the British people. Other fascinating facts which I found about pirates were shown in the movie when they showed a couple of punishments for pirates who committed crimes and of course the myth of mermaids which for me was inaccurate. This movie was released in 2003 and was directed by Gore Verbinski.
