Similar to a father and a son. Johnny Depp has given his son his trademark looks. Depp and his ex-girlfriend Vanessa Paradis have two children together, Lily-Rose, 24, and Jack, 21. There is a striking likeness between Jack and his well-known father in a 2020 snapshot taken when he was strolling around the U.K., but appearances aren’t the only thing that Depp and Jack have in common.
In a 2017 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, the Jeanne du Barry actor made light of the fact that his son shares his love of driving.
He’s crashed maybe five golf carts, so he has my instincts, my boy,” Depp said, explaining why he wouldn’t be teaching the then-15-year-old to drive.
In spite of their similarities, the two lead different lifestyles. Jack is uninterested in performing and would much rather have a quiet life. His parents chose to raise him and his sister in France, far from the limelight in Hollywood, in order to preserve their privacy.
When Jack Depp’s ex-wife, Amber Heard, first accused Depp of abuse, Lily-Rose took to Instagram in 2016 to defend her father, offering a rare look into her and Jack’s relationship with their father.
She wrote in the caption of a since-deleted picture of herself and Depp, ” My dad is the kindest, most kind guy I’ve ever met, and everyone who knows him would agree that he’s been an amazing father to my younger brother and me.”
Who is Jack Depp, then? All the information on Johnny Depp’s son is available here.
On April 9, 2002, he was born in France.
He went to live with his older sister, Lily-Rose, who was then about three years old. In 2007, Paradis explained to Belgium’s Weekend Knack magazine why she decided to bring up her kids close to her homeland.
“I secretly choose France for my kids. Even so, Los Angeles is also fantastic,” she remarked. “Only, in the south of France you can live much more anonymously. And that’s happiness, particularly in the early years for the kids.”
Jack Depp was given the name John “Jack”
Christopher Depp III in honor of his father and grandparents, who went by the names “John” and “Johnny,” respectively.
He goes by “Jack,” as he is the third generation to bear the family name. His moniker also refers to the well-known figure that his father created, Captain Jack Sparrow, from the popular Pirates of the Caribbean film series.
In his tribute, his father got a tattoo.
Depp got tattoos honoring his kids as a way to show how much he loved them. On his right forearm, he bears a tattoo of a flying sparrow with his son’s name inscribed beneath it. This is a tribute to his Pirates of the Caribbean character Captain Jack Sparrow, who had a nearly similar tattoo.
The fact that Depp’s tattoo was drawn flying in the direction of his body, as opposed to the sparrow in the movie, is one way the real and fictitious tattoos differ from one another.
In 2010, the actor proudly displayed his daughter’s name tattooed on his chest at a press conference held in conjunction with the Kustendorf Film and Music Festival in Serbia.
He speaks two languages.
Jack is a dual citizen of the United States and France. He spent his childhood alternating between the two nations, acquiring fluency in their respective languages.
In 2013, Lily-Rose told Interview magazine that they always talked French at home with their mother and that it helped to be fluent in the language, especially when going to school in the US.
” When we were in the same school, my brother and I could discuss anything in French that was going to be between us and nobody else would understand,” the woman recalled.
He avoids the spotlight.
Even though he comes from a well-known family, Jack has remained private throughout the years. He doesn’t seem to have any social media accounts and isn’t often photographed.
In a 2014 interview, Depp stated that his son appeared uninterested in pursuing a career in film. The conversation was conducted with The Philippine Daily Inquirer.
“Apart from school productions and other events, he hasn’t demonstrated an interest in acting. Whoa! “, he exclaimed.
He did, however, appear in a small part in the 2016 movie “Yoga Hosers” with his sister.
The French model Camille Jansen was most recently connected to him.
Jack was seen strolling throughout the United Kingdom in August 2020 with his girlfriend Camille Jansen. French musician and model Jansen has modeled for well-known designers like Giorgio Armani.
When the model sent a touching birthday message for Jack on his 18th birthday, it appeared that she was confirming their relationship status.
“Happy birthday, my love,” Jansen wrote as the caption on the picture of Jack cuddling with her from April 2020.
He likes to do art and play music.
While his son isn’t as interested in acting as he is, Depp said in a 2014 interview with The Philippine Daily Inquirer that he still appreciates the visual and performing arts. “Jack, my son, has always had exceptional craftsmanship,” he remarked. “He is a tremendously talented artist. He is also a very talented musician. He has a keen understanding of that.
In 2018, the actor from Murder on the Orient Express revealed to Rolling Stone that his son played guitar for a group named Clown Boner.
“A paternity test is not necessary. That’s my child,” joked Depp.
