Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp initially pursued his dream as a musician after leaving school at 16. It wasn't until he was 20, following an encounter with Nicolas Cage, that he decided to try acting. He gained fame as a teen heartthrob with his first major role on "21 Jump Street."
However, Depp grew disenchanted with the commercial aspect of his role and sought more independent and intriguing projects. His collaboration with Tim Burton, which began with "Edward Scissorhands," has endured and continues to thrive.
