LOS ANGELES, June 29 — Johnny Depp has given his first interview since his split from wife Amber Heard, but he made sure not to talk about the divorce.
Depp and his fellow Hollywood Vampires bandmates Matt Sorum, Robert DeLeo and Bruce Witkin appeared on Jonesy’s Jukebox radio talk show recently to discuss their music.
The band discussed their origin as a band as well as behind-the-scenes stories of their European tour with Depp going on to reveal how he stumbled into acting while trying to pursue music as a teenager.
“I’ve (been a musician) since I was little — since I was 12, I’ve played. I started playing clubs when I was like 13 in Miami.”
“I needed to pay rent,” shared Depp. “Somebody said, ‘Why don’t you go meet an agent. My agent is with Nick Cage’, so she sent me on an audition for something and I got it.”
Depp revealed that it wasn’t until his band broke up that he considered acting full-time. “It seemed like a good way to pay the rent for a minute.”
