What were some obstacles that stood in Johnny Depp's way?

Answer 1

The breakup of his parent's marriage must have been very hard and at the same time the family relocated from Kentucky to Florida. That alone must have been a cultural shock for even the most resiliant person. He has had to work through some personal demons also, and went through a partying stage where booze and drugs played a large part. But he has survived and is much more settled since the birth of his two children. Professionally he continues to push himself with challenging and offbeat roles. He has been a fascinating study, watching him evolve as an actor and human.
