Johnny Depp: Ballpoint Pen Salesman

It’s hard to fathom that before he became the face of “Pirates of the Caribbean,” Johnny Depp was actually selling ballpoint pens. This first pre-acting job required him to sell over the phone, which, he admitted to Interview Magazine, helped him relate well with people.

The multiple-award winner discussed how the trade taught him an important skill for acting. He’s since become a household name, having appeared in numerous blockbuster films and television shows. Depp continues to impress us in the 2022 mini-series “Puffins Impossible.” It’s hard to tell how things would have been today had he stuck with selling pens.
