Same Mother Different Father

Johnny Depp’s brother, technically half-brother, Daniel Depp, was born to Betty Sue Palmer and her first husband on November 14, 1953. However, Daniel’s parents divorced when he was only four years old. Thus, his mother worked as a waitress to sustain the family, i.e., Daniel and his younger sister, Debbie Depp.

While talking to The Guardian, Daniel revealed that he was never close to his biological father, who died decades ago.

Originally from Kentucky, Daniel Depp and his family moved around a lot as his father struggled to find work. Thus, they moved constantly and thus revealed that he lived in 75 different homes once he worked out.

Moreover, when Daniel’s mother and step-father divorced in 1978, the sibling fell into a dark time. Their mother started to overdose on drugs and developed abusive nature. She used to abuse them with all kinds of physical and psychological means.

Never Envious Of His Good-Looking Brother

Although Johnny Depp’s half-brother, Daniel Depp, rarely shows himself forth camera or is available on social media, he is often described as less attractive than our beloved Jack Sparrow.

Despite the little physical resemblance between the Depp siblings, Daniel is a bearded man with “tiny hands” and dressed in moss-green shades. Furthermore, he has the typical ‘writer’ appearance with round spectacles, not particularly fashionable but does the job.

On the other hand, Daniel Depp’s brother, Johnny Depp, is a total heartthrob and thus raised people’s expectations. However, he knows he’s not a ‘handsome’ guy, so there will always be people better-looking than him.

Depp was already bitten by the movie bug long before his brother stood in front of the camera. Also, he reportedly spent hours sitting in a bit of cinema that screened 16 mm prints of French New Wave cinema.

Daniel’s dream of becoming an architect as a kid did not come to fruition. He loved the combination of art and science. Likewise, Depp revealed that all the architects he knew were terrific people. However, sadly, the training was too expensive, so he majored in classics and European History at the University of Kentucky. But thanks to that, we got four great thrillers to read.
