Johnny Depp, a drug addict since the age of 11, spent € 26,527 on alcohol per month
The famous Hollywood actor Johnny Depp has revealed surprising facts about his relationship with drugs on Tuesday in the trial against the tabloid British tabloid "The Sun". The publication called him a "wife abuser," referring to the treatment of his ex-wife Amber Heard, who accuses him of abusing her. Tim Burton's muse has confessed that he started taking drugs at the age of 11, and that only three years later he had already tried all substances "known to man".
Depp confessed that he spent 23,834 pounds (26,527 euros) a month on wine for himself and others. The actor went so far as to say in the London Court that he enjoyed red wine "enormously". But, what is more, in response to a lawyer Depp confessed that he spent three times this amount.
Likewise, the protagonist of Pirates of the Caribbean assured that, after separating from Vanessa Paradis, mother of his two children, he made a “real effort” to give up drinking. Also revealed was the content of a letter that Depp sent to singer Elton John, a close friend whom he thanked for his support as he tried to put down his excesses: “My dear Elton, 100 fucking days of clarity for an old reprobate like me. No one would have ever believed it possible except a few, you the most important. I would have swallowed the monster if it weren't for you, "he confessed.
The actor gave some clues about his family life, which he considers guilty of having thrown him on drugs at such an early age. "There were a lot of unpleasant things at home," he said.
Johnny Depp explained that life at home was very troublesome, and his mother used to take relaxing pills. “My mother used to ask me to go get her 'nerve pills' and I think I was around 11 years old when I realized that those pills calmed her nerves, so I brought her pills and I took one, and that started (my drug use) ”.
JOHNNY DEPP HAD BREAKFAST "MEGA PINTAS DE VINO RED"
Thus beginning his substance use at age 11, the story ended with the actor descending into "physically destructive behavior." He himself refers to his "drunk and violent" persona as "the monster."
Amber Heard brought to court a video in which Depp yelled "motherfucker" while hitting a bookshelf. "We weren't even fighting, all I did was say I was sorry." Asked if he was drunk at the time of the recording, Depp explained that he had had a "mega pint of red wine", which was featured in the video.
However, he clarified that he believes the pint was there from last night. The actor has been accused of paying for his "anger and frustration" against Heard. Depp, for his part, has assured that his ex-partner hit him in the face several times, and that he threw a bottle of vodka that injured his finger in 2015.
