Né à Neuilly-sur-Seine, John Christopher “Jack” Depp
III Although he may be a double “son of” – that of Hollywood icon Johnny Depp (real name John Christopher Depp II) and our national Vanessa Paradis (the couple separated in 2012) – that doesn’t mean he’s chasing the spotlight. Quite the contrary. Because where his big sister, Lily-Rose, goes through haute couture shows and leading roles, Jack has chosen to completely ignore celebrity. His credo? Live happily, live hidden. At just 24 years old, the young man remains a enigma.
Relatively little is known about him. Over the years, he has been seen on a few rare occasions with his parents or his sister, thanks to the paparazzi… But he is not looking for
célébrité. Absent from social networks, the young man avoids photographers’ flashes like the plague. And he has never walked on the slightest red carpet.
Jack Depp, the discreet and mysterious son of Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis
Johnny Depp has often explained that his children grew up outside of Hollywood, notably in the south of France, in order to offer them as normal a childhood as possible. “We can live much more discreetly. And it’s a real joy, especially when the children are still small”declared the actor on this subject at Weekend Knack.
We know that Jack Depp worked incognito “behind the bar and in the kitchen”in a Lebanese restaurant in the Bastille district for two years. His former boss had spilled the beans to Daily Mailexplaining that the young man was “a good employé”but above all “a great guy”. And we had seen photos of the young man who looks a lot like his father. As for his
vie privatehe also compartmentalized it: we barely know that Jack Depp was in a relationship with the musician Camille Jansen.
Jack Depp never wanted to be an actor
A few years ago, Johnny Depp, very proud of his son, said of him that he was a very talented designer and a
excellent musician. “Apart from school plays and other such activities, he has shown no desire to become an actor. Phew!”sat amused at the star of Pirates des Caraïbes
during an interview with Inquirer. In fact, young Jack barely had a taste for comedy. Is it him, this “bébé dans un landau” that we see in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ? Maybe (at least the IMDb says so). He especially really played a small role in the film Yoga Hosersdirected by Kevin Smith, the opportunity to meet his big sister and his father.
Music, on the other hand, is more his thing. Jack Depp, guitarist, also collaborated on her mother’s last album, The return of sunny daysreleased at the end of 2025. Lily-Rose also brought her touch to it. The song Éléments
was written by Vanessa Paradis, but it was Jack who composed the music. Working with your children, “I didn’t do it on purpose, it wasn’t a goal”the singer swore
Monde about the presence of his offspring on his new album. “They live in music and their talent inspires me, that’s all.”
