He wore a crop top, drowned in blood: why Johnny Depp’s first role may scare you

You will be surprised, but Johnny Depp might not have become an actor (yes, and we would have no Jack Sparrow!). In his youth, he was more into music and even started his own band. However, this did not bring in money and the group soon disbanded. And Johnny really needed the money because he didn’t have enough to rent an apartment anymore. That’s why he listened when someone advised him to try to make money in the cinema. Johnny’s first wife, Laurie Ann Allison, who was the sister of his bass player and worked as a make-up artist, introduced him to Nicolas Cage, who gave him some acting lessons.

As a result, Johnny made his debut in the film industry in 1984 when he starred in A Nightmare on Elm Street. Depp was 21 years old and got the role of Glen, a classmate and lover of the main character Nancy. By the way, Charlie Sheen also claimed the role of Glen, but his agent demanded too high a fee and the studio refused. And director Wes Craven decided to entrust the work to an unknown debutant – and he did not lose.

Young Depp looked adorable on screen with his wavy unruly dark hair. Is it possible to look away from Johnny in a sporty crop top and an actor’s defined stomach? But the fate of the hero Johnny was terrible – he becomes a victim of Freddy Krueger. This scene is quite terrifying, but even by today’s standards it looks impressive. Depp is pulled into the bowels of the bed and the room is filled with a stream of blood.

That scares you, doesn’t it?
