Daniel and his sister Debbie stayed with his mother, who soon married the engineer-builder, John Christopher Depp.

Betty Sue’s second husband John Christopher Depp (by the way, the full namesake of his famous son Johnny Depp) adopted her children, and later the couple greeted two more children in this marriage- Johnny Depp and Christi Dembrowski (Depp).

Daniel Depp’s mother was a waitress and it was difficult to call their childhood easy, as Betty Sue did not pamper them and was supposed to be at work in a cafe from morning to night.

The family often moved and Daniel spent most of his childhood in Florida.
