He felt for Winoma Ryder which led to a famous tattoo on his right arm “Wino Forever” but that did not work out.

Then from 1994 to 1998, he dated famous model Kate Moss.

Does Johnny Depp Speak Spanish?

If you are one of the fans who wonder how Johnny Depp knows Spanish, here is the answer.

Surprisingly Johnny Depp is not fluent in Spanish.

What is that a surprise for me?

When he first came to Hollywood at age 20 (he was a musician then), he had a great opportunity to pick up Spanish because Southern California (I have had the honor to be living there since 2000 after my short stay in Dallas, Texas) is home to great deal of Spanish Speakers.

But that did not trigger Johnny Deep to learn Spanish.

Later, in his movie’s roles such as the 2011 film “Rango”, there are Spanish speaking parts which we learned that were voiced over by a Mexican actor.

Johnny Depp even jokingly admitted once that on the movie set Pirates of the Caribbean with co-star Penelope Cruz (who is perfectly fluent in Spanish), she tried to teach him several Spanish sentences, but the desire was not there.

Thirdly, Johnny Depp had another opportunity to master Spanish through his two-year relationship with Amber Heard between 2015 and 2017.

She speaks Spanish fluently as a Texas native thus she could have influenced him into learning Spanish over the course of their liaison.
