Trending Now: Christina Applegate was ‘in love’ with Johnny Depp for ‘years,’ but ‘I was just one of the guys to him’ – Fans React

For her new memoir, You With the Sad Eyes, Christina Applegate dug into the journals from her teen years, and it turns out that she was quite fond of Johnny Depp.

Beginning at age 15, Applegate writes that she was “madly in love” with Depp, and the Married… With Children actress soon became a member of his friend group after guest starring on Depp’s cop series, 21 Jump Street, often visiting him on set in Vancouver.

“One thing is very clear from the journals: I was in love with Johnny Depp for years,” Applegate said in her book. “He was eight years older than me. He always behaved impeccably toward me, even though I was clearly mad about him. It seems that back then I was just one of the guys to him, yet my journals are filled with complicated and ever-changing feelings. I swing from swoon to a cold bucket of water on the face in the span of less than two months.”

The Emmy-winning actress even cited a specific journal entry that read, “I’ve been having really strange dreams about Johnny of all people. I can’t really analyze them because I don’t remember what they are once I wake up. I can only remember who’s in them … Johnny.”

The young Applegate continued, “I can’t sit here and wish he was something that he’s not. I can’t change him. But yet I wish I could get through to him.”

Depp’s dating timeline suggests that he was in a relationship with his Edward Scissorhands costar Winona Ryder during Applegate’s infatuation period.

Applegate eventually wed actor Johnathon Schaech, only to divorce in 2007. Since 2013, she’s been married to musician Martyn LeNoble, with whom she shares a daughter.
