In a set of images posted to Instagram, Depp is seen on a yacht with several other famous people, including Will Smith. The gang appears to be enjoying the beautiful summer weather in good spirits. But what really caught people’s attention was Depp’s unexpected outfit and appearance.

Depp wore a grey T-shirt underneath an unbuttoned floral shirt, keeping things simple. He wore pants and even had a cardigan pulled around his waist, despite the sun shining outside. Shades, a cap, and a bandana completed his ensemble.

The critics didn’t mince words. Regarding Depp’s aging, one person said, “Depp has not aged well. He appears rugged.” Somebody else said, “Depp needs meat, the gym, and a shower.” Those who doubted his identity said things like, “That’s his clone,” and one even called him a “homeless guy.”

Some onlookers remarked, “There’s something different about Depp,” while another even said, “Johnny looks sick.” The most scathing remark was probably “Why does Johnny look like a lesbian carpenter.”

Depp collaborated with Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli for a moving performance at the latter’s concert, the day after the actor partied with other celebrities on a yacht. The two performed in memory of late English musician Jeff Beck, who succumbed to bacterial meningitis in 2023.

“En Aranjuez Con Tu Amor,” a song that Depp and Bocelli first performed together in 2020 when Depp traveled to Bocelli with Beck, was performed at the Teatro del Silenzio in Italy. This heartfelt homage highlighted Depp and Beck’s close friendship.

Smith, another A-list attendee, gave a performance at the occasion. Depp and Smith’s friendship was highlighted by their apparent camaraderie. Depp and Smith have been spotted together previously.

They went to the renowned Red Sea International Film Festival in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, in November 2023. Special moments from the event, including a warm embrace and a lighthearted chat between the two Hollywood titans, were captured in a video that Smith posted to Instagram.

Even when Depp appears in public, his wardrobe selections are still a major talking point for both admirers and detractors. While in London earlier this month, the actor from “The Pirates of Caribbean” started a furious online controversy.

After a night of partying with friends in London, Depp made a rare public appearance and captured the attention of bystanders. Long after midnight, the adored singer and actor was spotted leaving Mayfair’s Cipriani, a classy Italian eatery.

The actor appeared to have had a good night’s worth of eating, having taken his time over a four-hour meal. Reputable for his unique sense of style, Depp did not let us down.

Wearing a striped suit over a baggy shirt, he looked put together while maintaining his distinctive eccentricity. His vibrant shoes provided a humorous element to the ensemble, while his black fedora and shades created a sense of mystery.

He accessorized the ensemble with a necklace made of shell beads, which demonstrated his varied taste in accessories. The 61-year-old actor’s mysterious charm was further enhanced by the book he was clutching in one hand and the cigarillo-like object hanging from his mouth.

Online comments to the photo of Depp enjoying a rare night out in his element went viral. His images went viral right away, and people on the internet expressed varying views on them. While some thought his distinct approach was admirable, others had other opinions.

One admirer said, “He just gets more gorgeous every single day!!!” Another said, “It’s fantastic! Johnny Depp and his friends are spotted in London, and they both look fantastic, may I say.

Not everyone, though, was impressed. Partying? A reviewer remarked that Depp was too old to be having parties. His proper place is in a nursing home.” Another person swiftly refuted this notion by writing, “He has money that he has earned through effort. You are free to spend and pleasure as you like. You live it.”

Despite the conflicting opinions, Johnny Depp’s late-night excursion in London demonstrated his enduring charm and distinct sense of style, reminding everyone why he remains a topic of discussion and curiosity.

The Oscar nominee shocked everyone in May by getting a new haircut. At the London premiere of “Jeanne du Barry,” Depp dazzled the crowd with a daring new look that brought back memories of his more modest public persona.

He changed up his hairstyle from his long, disheveled locks to a short one. People swiftly expressed their opinions on social media in response to Depp’s new appearance.

One of Depp’s biggest film comebacks since his defamation battle with ex-wife Amber Heard in 2022 was this movie. Fans were talking about his new hairstyle, with some connecting it to the fallout from his well-publicized legal dispute.

The actor’s transformation was for his role as King Louis XV in “Jeanne du Barry,” directed by Maïwenn, who also stars alongside Depp. Despite his initial reluctance to star in the film, he felt fortunate to receive the opportunity to play the French royal.

According to Depp, “I feel very lucky to have been [offered the role] – strangely, oddly, perversely lucky.” In addition to bringing back a French monarchy on television, he sparked controversy in the community by putting his eye on a historic $4 million castle in Turin, Italy, off-screen.

The mayor of Montaldo Dora, Renzo Galletto, voiced his concerns about the Hollywood actor holding this land. “A celebrity buying a historic monument like the Montalto Dora castle would bring a lot of attention to the area, but we’re not sure if it would be the right ‘economic synergy’ for the community,” he stated.

As a “Site of Community Interest,” the castle is subject to certain restrictions, as Galletto pointed out. “Building [anything new inside or out] would require a lot of approvals and permissions,” he stated. The Italian Cultural Heritage also provides protection for the castle.
