Johnny Depp has no mobile phone

LOS ANGELES: Johnny Depp, who calls himself as ‘Mr. Stench’, was born to a waitress and a civil engineer in Owensboro and dropped out of high school by the age of 15. He then pursued his dream career as a rock musician with various garage bands, including ‘The Kids’ band.

He emerged as an actor with his debut film “A Nightmare in Elm Street” in 1985. Depp turned into a ‘teen idol’ with the popular Fox TV television series “21 Jump Street”. After numerous teen-oriented films, he decided to take up rightful challenging roles, thereby starred in the title role in “Edward Scissorhands” by Tim Burton.

Depp always fascinates his fans and critics by taking up unique, charming, characteristic roles in each of his films. His recent popular films include “Alice in Wonderland”, the blockbuster “Pirates of the Caribbean” series in which he portrayed the charming “Jack Sparrow” role and “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”. He has won the prestigious Golden Globe Award for the Best Actor for “Sweeny Todd: The Demon of Fleet Street” and has been nominated for the Academy Awards three times and BAFTA Awards two times.
With the world going gaga over mobile phones, it comes as a surprise that Depp actually does not use cell phones and not even call when he is at home! But he says, though he doesn’t like to be reachable all time through mobile phones, Internet does fascinate him as an “interesting” form of communication. When he was queried how he would be contacted, he replied that he could be just buzzed on the Internet or something. (And what if that fails?! Try the old pigeon messenger or some other form of “interesting communication”!) Yes, it’s so strange. Well but that’s – ‘tech-free’ or may be ‘mobile-free’ – Johnny Depp for you!!
