Following his return, the actor conducted an interview in which he discussed his sentiments.
Throughout a 7-minute standing ovation, Depp held back tears. Meanwhile, his supporters were appalled to discover his “literally rotten” teeth.
Johnny Depp was in the middle of controversy for a long time due to the legal battle he had with his ex-wife Amber Heard.
In the highly publicized defamation trial, Heard accused Depp of abuse, but the jury sided in the actor’s favor.
The actor made a comeback from battling for his reputation after he was recognized for his role in a film at the premiere of the Cannes Film Festival.
Depp’s attendance at the festival was his first public appearance since his legal battle with Heard was completed in 2022.
“Johnny Depp’s new film, #JeanneDuBarry, opened with a Metacritic score of 51 and a F grade. The score is now as yellow as his teeth. Congratulations!”
Users were concerned by the photographs of Depp’s teeth, with one saying he didn’t want to see them because he had already seen every image without his will. Another fan claimed Depp’s teeth appeared like they had been seized and painted black.
An online fan defended the actor, saying, “He has too much money to have teeth like that.” Perhaps he’s filming another Pirates movie, lol.” Another person commented that Depp’s teeth resembled those pictured on cigarette packs. One individual commented:
“Yeah, he smokes tobacco/hash spliffs 24/7 and has been doing so for around ten years. That’s when I read the Rolling Stone story.
Another person stated that simply viewing photographs of the actor’s teeth was enough to destroy their mood. More users complained that Depp’s teeth made him look ugly:
“If u post a pic of johnny depp i will block u because that man is so ugly. i deadass get chills just thinking of his face [sic].”
Online users suggested that they should start a petition to petition the actor to get his teeth looked at by a dentist. “He better book his appointment for them veneers the way his teeth looking,” one person added.
However, some people suggested that Depp’s teeth looked like they were rotting because the actor was allegedly preparing for his “new jack sparrow role.”
More people defended Depp and said that actors were human beings and should be allowed to look unappealing because that was part of being realistic and engaging in real life.
Depp also gave an interview at the Cannes Film Festival, where he said he would not allow the high-profile legal battle he had with Heard to define him.
The “City of Lies” actor asked people not to judge him over the legal battles. The legal battle with Heard had a great impact on the actor’s career as he lost roles, including losing his part in the “Fantastic Beats” franchise.
However, the actor’s movie career seems not to be in jeopardy as he has already featured in a high-profile movie. He noted:
“Comeback is a weird thing because… I didn’t go anywhere. People may have made sure that I was not looked at favorably – powerful press, powerful media, for whatever reasons.”
The 60-year-old also told people who are judging him to focus on their families and take one day off work to judge the people close to them.
He told people to look way back and judge their fathers, uncles, and brother to see if they have always been wonderful people:
“Look around you first before you start passing judgment on someone that you have no idea what that person has been through, who they are.”
Depp, who had disappeared from the public’s eye for a while, seemed happy at the Cannes Film Festival as he engaged with fans, took selfies with them, and signed their autographs.
