Christina Applegate had a major crush on Johnny Depp back in the 1980s, and it turns out this wasn’t just an obsession. As it turns out, the actress was in love with him for years, and she has the old diary entries to prove it.
While most of us would probably cringe at reading our teenage diaries today, Applegate has decided to share hers with the world. In her new memoir, the actress opens up about her early days in Hollywood and her feelings for Depp.
But Depp wasn’t some distant celebrity to Applegate. The two actually knew each other, hung out together, and even worked together. And judging by what she wrote in her diaries, her feelings were a lot more complicated than a typical teenage crush.

Johnny Depp Was Madly In Love With Christina Applegate When She Was 15
Christina Applegate was only 15 when she was head over heels for Depp. The two were already part of the same Hollywood friend circle, and their paths also crossed professionally when their paths also crossed professionally in 21 Jump Street. But what apparently seemed like an innocent friendship was much more complicated for Applegate.
The actress has revealed in her memoir You With the Sad Eyes that she “was madly in love” with Depp. She has also admitted that her feelings lasted for years, and her journals even documented how those feelings kept changing. It’s one thing to admire a star from a distance, but it’s another tough thing to spend time with them and keep feelings hidden.
The actress had been writing journals since she was 13 and kept them locked away in a box in her closet. While introducing those entries in her memoir, she writes, “In my closet there is a locked box of all my journals from the age of 13 to the time I stopped wanting to write.” Then adds, “Lucky you, the box is open.”
Applegate’s Diary Entries Show Why Her Feelings For Depp Were So Complicated
One thing that immediately caught my attention in Applegate’s old journals was how much Johnny Depp occupied her thoughts. In one entry, the actress also recalled having strange dreams about Depp. She couldn’t remember what actually happened between them after waking up, but she always remembered that he was there.
However, another entry reveals a more serious side of her feelings. She writes, “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.”
Of course, we don’t know exactly what happened between Christina Applegate and Johnny Depp that made her write those words. Still, Applegate doesn’t claim that she and Depp were even romantically involved.
