Surprisingly, after this character, the artist’s career went uphill.
This is Johnny Depp today – the main captain of Hollywood and a star from fashionable perfume advertising. Once upon a time, an aspiring actor had to participate in a project that was not the most pleasant for him.
Depp was 21 years old when he was invited to star in the movie A Nightmare on Elm Street. He played a guy named Glen – a classmate and passion of the main character. Handsome in a short top with thick hair was especially sorry, because Freddy Krueger kills him first.
Falling asleep, Depp’s hero does not notice the hand with huge iron claws, which is about to grab him. A serial maniac in a striped sweater turns handsome Glen into a bloody mess in seconds. Despite the fact that Depp’s character was not given much screen time, the role of Glen in the 1984 film by Wace Craven became a kind of springboard for Depp.
Two years later, he will star with Oliver Stone in the film Platoon, and four years later, in the musical Cry-Baby, after which the whole country will recognize Depp. It is noteworthy that he will return to A Nightmare on Elm Street. In the 1991 film, Depp can be seen in a TV commercial playing himself.
