Sherilyn Fenn

The Story: Johnny fell for actress Sherilyn Fenn, born February 1, 1965, while filming the short film Dummies in 1985. Their romance was pure ’80s magic, with the pair appearing together in a 21 Jump Street episode. Sherilyn shared vivid memories in a 2017 The Big Issue interview: “He was very sweet. He was my first love. I had found real love. It was with someone who was walking the same path, but even if he wasn’t, the love and the connection was strong enough – cooking meals, hanging out, laughing and crying. So it is more about that than the fact he is this well-known person now. I know him as a human not a movie star.” She also recalled a nervous moment on Cheers: “The first big thing I acted in was Cheers – and my first love, little Johnny Depp, was waiting outside the door. I had to walk on and say three lines then leave. My body was shaking. I walked out to say my lines but I just wanted to run back into my boyfriend’s arms and run away.” Fans adore the fact that Johnny wrote Sherilyn’s name on his Platoon helmet, a romantic gesture that captures his young, passionate spirit.

Starring together in Tim Burton’s Edward Scissorhands (1990), their on-screen chemistry as tender outsiders mirrored their real-life love. Johnny proposed in 1990, etching “Winona Forever” on his arm—a bold tattoo he later changed to “Wino Forever” after their 1993 breakup, showing his quirky resilience. Winona’s memories of Johnny are warm, describing him as kind and loving, and their romance during his rise to fame (Cry-Baby, What’s Eating Gilbert Grape) made them Hollywood’s golden couple.

They met in 1998 at a Paris hotel, and their connection was instant, blending Johnny’s artistic soul with Vanessa’s multifaceted talent. Known for her hit “Joe Le Taxi” at age 14, her César-winning role in Noce Blanche, and her Chanel campaigns, Vanessa was Johnny’s equal in creativity and grace. Together, they raised two children, Lily-Rose and Jack, building a private, loving family life despite Johnny’s Pirates of the Caribbean megafame.

Their 2017 divorce triggered a painful legal battle, with Heard’s false abuse allegations threatening Johnny’s legacy.
