Christina Applegate reflects on her teenage crush.
The 54-year-old actress opened up about the challenges she faced early in her career and her recent health struggles after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in her new memoir: You with the sad eyes, that were already on the shelves.
She revealed in her book: “In my cupboard there is a locked box containing all my diaries from the age of 13 until the moment I stopped wanting to write. Thank goodness – the box is open.”
And Johnny Depp appeared several times in her diary when she admitted that she was “madly in love” with him at the age of 15.
The Dead to me star wrote in her memoir that Depp, who is now 62 years old, “was part of my friend group growing up, a group that also included my still best friend Sam Sarkar.”
Applegate’s diary entries from her teenage years make it “very clear” that she was “in love with Johnny Depp for years.”
“My journals are filled with complicated and ever-changing feelings,” Applegate admitted.
One of the notes Applegate shared in her memoir read: “I’ve been having very strange dreams about Johnny. I can’t really analyze them because when I wake up I don’t remember what they are. All I can remember is who’s in them…Johnny.”
The actress added at the time, “I can’t sit here and wish he was something he’s not. I can’t change him. But I still wish I could get through to him.”
