In the midst of the scandalous defamation lawsuit currently facing Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, many little known secrets and details about both actors have come to light or gained notoriety, from the net worth of the Pirates of the Caribbean star or now the NFL team that Captain Jack Sparrow supports.

To the surprise of some Depp fans, the actor is not a fan of a team close to Hollywood like the reigning Super Bowl champions Los Angeles Rams or the Chargers, or even a franchise with a California past like the Las Vegas Raiders, but the Miami Dolphins.

Why is Johnny Depp a Dolphins fan?

The love story between Depp and the Dolphins has to do with his childhood, as the actor, born June 9, 1963 in Owensboro, Kentucky, and his family moved to Miramar, Florida in 1970, when Johnny was just seven years old.

During Depp’s childhood and adolescence, the now actor became a Dolphins fan and every chance he got to see the team play at home he did, even when he dropped out of Miramar High School at age 16 to try his luck in the music world with his first rock band, The Kids.

Since then, and already a famous actor, Depp has not missed the opportunity to go see the Dolphins at different NFL stadiums, either accompanied by his family, such as his ex-partner Vanessa Paradis and their son John “Jack” Christopher Depp III, or even alone.

From time to time, Depp has not hesitated to go to the stadiums wearing the colors of the Miami franchise, although we are not sure if during the 2022 NFL season the actor’s legal problems have already been resolved and we will see him again supporting his team.
