1. Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp never dreamed of becoming an actor; in fact, he was a struggling musician crashing on friends’ couches when fate stepped in. Thanks to a casual nudge from Nicolas Cage and a lucky audition, Depp found himself cast in A Nightmare on Elm Street without a single acting class under his belt. What began as an accidental detour quickly turned into a legendary career, inspired by raw charm and a heroic leap into the unknown.
