Johnny Depp in the Nightmare on Elm Streetの主要なニュースを専門的かつ分かりやすくまとめました。最新トレンドを一目で把握できます。

Back in 1983, Johnny Depp was a struggling musician who wanted to be a rock star. He wasn’t trying to be an actor. His buddy Jackie Earle Haley (the original Rorschach from Watchmen) convinced him to audition for a “little horror film.” Depp showed up in a leather jacket, looking like he just rolled out of a punk show. He got the part because he didn’t care about the part.

Johnny Depp's Nightmare On Elm Street Role Explained

Director Wes Craven said Depp had a “natural, unaffected quality.” Translation: he didn’t look like he was acting, because he wasn’t really trying. This is the same guy who later built a multi-million dollar career on eccentricity. But here, he’s just a teenager with great hair and a moderately confused expression. It’s a beautiful accident.

The Romantic Subplot That Fizzled

Fun fact: Depp and Heather Langenkamp (who played Nancy) actually dated for a while after the film. They broke up, but that means the entire Nightmare franchise has a weird love story at its core. Imagine being dumped by Johnny Depp. It’s like being rejected by a beautiful, slightly drunken pirate.

Langenkamp said Depp was “very sweet” but also “very quiet.” So he was basically a handsome, brooding mime who later pretended to be a weirdo with scissors for hands. Classic method acting, I guess.
