Johnny Depp’s First Big Purchase Wasn’t a Ferrari, It Was a Gift for His Mom That Was Long Overdue: “Her poor f*cking a** was on phenobarbital at 12”

Veteran actor Johnny Depp talked about his earlier career and what his first major purchase was after he had acquired enough money from his films!.

Johnny Depp, the man known for some iconic roles like Capt.

Jack Sparrow, Willy Wonka, and, Edward Scissorhands, is a man of high values.

That’s why, his first big purchase wasn’t for himself.

Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither was Johnny Depp’s career.

Having humble beginnings, the veteran actor found his way into Hollywood after several years.

After having enough money, the first major purchase he made was to buy a house for his mother!

Johnny Depp’s First Major Purchase Wasn’t a Luxury!

Depp is the youngest of four children born to John Cristopher Depp and Betty Sue Palmer.

Their beginnings weren’t so rich and so, money was a rare commodity for the Depp family back in the day.

Depp and his mother shared a convoluted relationship since his mother wasn’t always there for him.

Despite all the events that took place during the actor’s childhood, she was still his mother, after all.

So in an interview with Rolling Stone, Johnny Depp revealed that the first major purchase he made after acquiring enough money was to buy a house.

Not for himself, but it was a gift to his mother!

My mom was born in a f*cking holler in eastern Kentucky.

Her poor f*cking a** was on phenobarbital at 12.

For a little context, phenobarbital is used in anti-seizure management, treatment for insomnia, or, addressing alcohol withdrawal.

So whatever it was, it wasn’t good for Depp’s mother to be taking phenobarbital at 12.

That’s why, Johnny Depp went ahead and bought a house for his mother when he acquired enough money.

The second purchase that he made was a 1940 Harley-Davidson (which he still owns, by the way).

However, his relationship with his mother wasn’t always on great terms.

As the interview continued, the Edward Scissorhands actor further delved into the relationship he shared with his mother.
