Johnny Depp gets nostalgic remembering his passion for the painting

Johnny Depp is known for his iconic act of an eccentric pirate Captain Jack Sparrow in one of the most successful film series across the globe 'Pirates of the Caribbean' which started in 2003. The series has already completed 5 parts of it with the last part released in 2017.

Apart from being a great actor, Depp is often seen doing some other activities such as playing guitar and painting. One such painting which he started in the year of the second part of the Pirates of the Caribbean, 'Dead Man's Chest' in 2006, has made Depp nostalgic remembering about the painting.



Remembering about that painting, the 56-year old actor couldn't stop himself writing about his painting passion which would give him pure, intense focus and devotion to for months on end.

Sharing the painting from 2006 on I, he wrote, "It’s odd, the things that we once gave such pure, intense focus and devotion to for months on end. Then suddenly the wind shifts and off we go on a new tack. And for far too long, these earlier interests or passions sadly fall by the wayside and recede into the vast recesses of some hoarder’s crawlspace in the brain cloaked in heaps of the other things that my skull had no room for…until recently".

"I found this painting, which I had started in 2006 … for 14 years I’d never touched the painting – the occasional glance, at best. Yet it somehow always lingered in my mind, this piece of unfinished business. Even while we are forced to live in the immediate, some strange species of the interrupted passion that has been invested in an object we once focused on awaits our return from far away. I will keep you apprised of the progress! All Love, JD," he concluded.
