Johnny Depp's 20 oddities

On June 9, American actor, musician, screenwriter and producer Johnny Depp turns 58. The actor became best known for his fruitful collaboration with director Tim Burton, whose work can be called unusual and a little strange. 

"If you're not weird, you're weird," Johnny Depp once said. In real life, the actor constantly proves that he is just that. Weirder than anyone else. By the way, his peers called him Johnny Deep (from dippy — "touched") as a child.

Johnny Depp suffers from coulrophobia, that is, he is terrified of clowns. When he sees a clown, he may start to choke with horror.

Depp is very allergic to chocolate. During the filming of the films "Chocolate" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" had to use fake sweets.

At the age of 16, Johnny was expelled from school because he took off his pants and showed a teacher, whom for some reason he did not like very much, his bare ass.

Depp collects false beards.

Johnny can train lizards. God knows why he needs it and how he discovered this ability in himself, but Depp is insanely proud of it.

Depp once stopped a robber armed with a knife. You think there was a fight and Johnny disarmed him? No. He just talked him into it.

In his youth, the actor himself inflicted injuries with a knife to cope with stress. With age, this has passed.

Johnny started smoking when he was twelve, and lost his virginity when he was thirteen.

Johnny Depp doesn't know how to tell jokes. He can't do it at all.
