Depp wears a navy double-breasted blazer and a blue button-up in the picture, with just a golden ring as an accessory. Small strands of his salt-and-pepper hair fall at the sides, and his hair is pulled back and parted halfway.
He leans on a granite bar and watches intently, clutching a glass loaded with ice. Fans are raving over more than just the actor’s apparent ability to fully inhabit his role.
Many admired his graying appearance and wished he would keep it. One exclaimed, “I hope Johnny accepted his grey hair! To be honest, he appears younger and quite attractive with it! I’m sorry, but this style is amazing! “👏🤍🩶”
Depp was nearly unrecognizable to others, as one person exclaimed, “No way that’s him 😍.” “This doesn’t resemble Johnny at all! “Whoa!!!” said someone else.
The compliments continued on X, where spectators took note of Depp’s eye color, another odd aspect of his alluring appearance. Does he appear to have different-colored eyes? “Looking good, though,” a fan said.
“Man, man! At first, I didn’t recognize him. However, upon closer inspection of his face traits, I recognized him! Does he have on blue contacts? [sic]” pondered another. “Johnny Depp is the best with brown hair or gray hair with blue contact lenses, he rocks!” said another.
Some viewers, however, weren’t overly pleased with the alteration; one said, “I know they’re contacts but not digging the light eyes.” One more bemoaned, “His eyes “What did they do to your eyes, baby?”
Lionsgate posted a screen grab of the Deadline story revealing additional information on the movie, which will also feature Madelyn Cline, Penélope Cruz, Manu Ríos, Arón Piper, Juan Diego Botto, and Anika Boyle, in addition to the eye-catching image.
After costarring in “Blow,” “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” and “Murder on the Orient Express,” Depp and Cruz will collaborate once more on “Day Drinkers.” The film, which was directed by Mark Webb, takes place in Spain.
Positive responses to Depp’s appearance may have been elicited by Lionsgate’s Instagram post, but this isn’t always the case. Netizens had a lot to say about his attendance at the Rome Film Festival last year.
On October 26, 2024, Depp, 61, attended the 19th Rome Film Festival, where he introduced his film “Modi, Three Days on the Wing of Madness.” Everyone was watching him closely. While some admirers were delighted to see him, others expressed disapproval of his look and pointed out that the actor has not fared well in the passing of time.
Depp’s ensemble, which included a dark, classic suit, a cream-collared top, and a scarf with an artistic pattern, balanced vintage flare with his trademark bohemian edge. He added a variety of rings and colored spectacles to complete his look.
His disheveled and somewhat curled hair became a focal point on the internet. Cameras flashed around the “Edward Scissorhands” star as he walked the red carpet, recording every step he took.
Investigating the life of the late Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani, who was both admired and tormented by his own genius, “Modi, Three Days on the Wing of Madness”
The film examines the thin line separating genius from insanity as it follows the artist’s journey through passion, vulnerability, and the unrelenting quest of creativity.
In pictures, Depp and Scamarcio, as well as other cast members Antonia Desplat, Luisa Ranieri, and Bruno Gourey, were seen smiling and making friendly gestures.
In a video that the Associated Press uploaded to YouTube, the director’s night at the Rome Film Festival took a joyous turn as he received the coveted Lifetime Achievement Award.
Depp had a lighthearted moment with the Italian actor as he walked on stage to accept the award, which was given to him by Scamarcio. The audience cheered and laughed as he gave him a little peck on the lips.
During his acceptance speech, Depp conveyed his sincere gratitude to the audience and gave a message that reflected his commitment to his craft.

“I have to salute you all because you’ve truly been warriors and heroes,” the actor said. He said, “And you’re the very reason that I do continue and want to continue to make films.”
Although the film industry’s recognition of Depp was a significant milestone, the public’s attention was diverted elsewhere, with many examining his appearance on social media.
There were many who suggested that his appearance was a result of aging. One spectator asked, “Is that even him?” while another remarked, “He’s not aging well.”
One netizen said, “Time hasn’t been kind to him, has it?” “He’s the age of a grandfather,” one person said. It is regrettable that he was deprived of his final years in Hollywood.
But someone else quickly refuted this viewpoint, saying, “They weren’t.” For decades, his career was in decline, but suddenly it’s over, and he’s receiving an award. That’s the way his business operates. Seldom do you continue to work into old age [sic].
In addition to discussing Depp’s age, a number of online viewers focused on his evening hairstyle. One person on social media said, “I love Johnny, but please wash your hair,” while another person put it more succinctly: “Wash You [sic] hair.”
Another person said, “Grease, probably, since he doesn’t like to bathe.” According to another user, “the [sic] wet hair look 😩[…] 😍.”
Nevertheless, other fans felt Depp looked just as compelling as ever in spite of the criticism. Another praised Depp’s manner, saying, “Looks amazing. Maybe you’re always a little anxious? Adorable!” “Bless him, it’s okay. He’s so sad and incredibly anxious.” 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰,” a fan echoed.
Some people experienced nostalgia when they saw Depp because it brought back memories of one of his most famous roles. “Capitan! One fan wrote, “Capitan Jack [sic] Sparrow inside 😍😍,” while another yelled, “JACK SPARROW 😍.”
Before attending the festival, Depp was seen traveling to Rome, where he spent some time interacting with fans.
He was wearing an oversized, rolled-up-sleeved denim shirt during these unguarded moments. He also wore a rough scarf loosely around his neck, which was placed over the top.
In addition, Depp wore a camouflage jacket that he knotted over a pair of checkered pants that had extra layers of fabric on them to give the appearance of patchwork. He completed the look with tinted eyeglasses and a knit beanie with stripes in various colors.
With real excitement, the actor greeted fans, chatting with them and posing for pictures while showing off his white teeth.
A bartender from Lorraine’s Cafe & High Tide shared a carousel of Johnny Depp’s “new teeth” on Instagram on August 30, 2024, shocking the public who had previously been renowned for having poor tooth health.
Depp was seen in the video sampling a drink made by the bartender from the Bahamas. The mixture was so popular that the actor said, “You better copyright this immediately.”
Depp also posed with an artwork depicting him as Captain Jack Sparrow from the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise in one of the carousel’s images.
After watching the bartender’s second video of Depp, one of the followers commented, “Def got his teeth done! It looks fantastic. “Is it ke or do his teeth look more straight?” asked another. [sic]”
His teeth appeared “brighter than ever before,” according to a third party, and an Instagram user agreed, writing, “Hello new teeth! He looks fantastic.
Due to the obvious damage to his natural teeth, Johnny Depp now wears dentures. An X user remarked, “Or he most likely had a tooth infection and had them all pulled.”
Additional video captured during Depp’s visit to the cafe showed him eating with pals before posing with two admirers in front of the identical piece of Jack Sparrow art. Additionally, there was a video of him shaking hands with Rap Rap Zoilo, the bartender.
The celebrity’s rendezvous delighted Zoilo, who said, “Jacksparrow meets the killerbartender of Exuma Bahamas once in a lifetime moments with Mr. Jonhny Depp [sic].”
The remarks regarding Depp’s teeth followed responses from online users who chastised the celebrity’s previously decaying teeth in May 2023, as reported by Page Six.
“Fans repulsed by #JohnnyDepp’s brown, ‘rotting’ teeth at the #CannesFilmFestival” was the caption for the photo. For instance, in September 2023, an X user posted, “Johnny Depp’s teeth are literally rotting away.” This is just one example of the kind of remarks Depp received. The post featured a picture of a happy Depp in a suit, sunglasses, and with his hair pulled back.
He was at the 76th annual Cannes Film Festival’s “Jeanne du Barry” screening and opening ceremony in the Palais des Festivals in France at the time.
Prior to the Cannes Festival and his cafe appearance, the actor also changed the appearance of his teeth. Depp went above and above to play Sparrow when Disney Studios decided to make a film based on their “Pirates of the Caribbean” theme park ride in 2003.
The fact that he wore gold crowns on his front teeth startled both Disney executives and Jerry Bruckheimer, the film’s producer!
According to the actor, “Jerry was slightly uncomfortable and the Disney executives weren’t exactly enthusiastic about it.”
But he said, “Look, these are the decisions I made. You are familiar with my work. Therefore, you can either trust me or fire me. Fortunately, they didn’t. Depp did, however, make a concession by exposing a few of his teeth.
