At the age of 12, his mother gave Depp a guitar. He began playing guitar frequently in nearby garages. At 16, he left school to pursue a musical career. But he was able to achieve only modest success, playing in different groups in Los Angeles.

From 1983-87, Depp did many odd jobs to support himself and his music career. This included telemarketing work for pens and other consumer products. He was advised to try his hand at cinema.
But in 1987, he landed a leading role in the television series “21 Jump Street”. His performances turned him into a celebrity overnight.
He soon decided that he would no longer act on television and focused only on getting good roles in films to support his new celebrity status in Hollywood. But the next decade proved to be not favorable for Depp. Most of his films flopped at the box office and he soon lost his confidence.
