Johnny Depp was a ‘weird’ child

Depp felt like a freak when he was growing up and often shut himself away because he did not fit in.

Hollywood star Johnny Depp felt like a freak when he was growing up and considered himself “weird” when he was just five years old.

The ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ star used to shut himself away when he was younger because he never felt like he fitted in,reported Contactmusic. “When I was growing up I felt a complete freak. Very strange. I felt weird at five. At the age of 12 it was me against the world.

“I remember locking myself in my bedroom and playing my guitar. It seemed like I was in there for two or three years,” said Depp.

However,the 47-year-old actor has learned to accept himself since finding love with French singer-and-actress Vanessa Paradis 12 years ago. “The most important thing is that Vanessa has made me not have to pretend any more about who I am. I feel comfortable with myself. My life is divided in two. In the time before I met Vanessa,I was searching for something. Since our time together I have found it. She keeps me calm. There were times when I was burning inside,” he said.
