Recently, 61-year-old Hollywood actor Johnny Depp was spotted vacationing in the Bahamas. A video circulating online shows him chatting happily with staff at a local bar, much to the delight of fans. Many are reflecting on how Johnny Depp, who has emerged from the shadow of a divorce lawsuit, seems to have returned to his best self, with a particularly striking transformation that has sparked discussion.
According to a report by “Page Six,” Johnny Depp was criticized last year for having yellow and decaying teeth, indicating serious dental issues that were aesthetically unpleasing. However, a year later, Johnny Depp’s teeth appear completely revitalized, and his smile has become radiant. In a new video posted on Instagram, the star of “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” was seen enjoying his time in the Bahamas during his vacation.
The report mentioned that Johnny Depp interacted with customers and staff at a seaside bar in the Bahamas, flashing his bright smile multiple times during the filming. The report described, “The 61-year-old actor was vibrant as he shook hands with fans and even went behind the bar to help the bartender make drinks. When taking a photo together, Depp even embraced the excited employee.”
Fans have been quick to praise Johnny Depp, commenting on how “he looks very healthy, his teeth look much better,” “the pirate teeth are finally gone, looks great,” and “Depp has clearly had his teeth corrected, he looks really good.”
At the Cannes Film Festival red carpet last year, Johnny Depp became a focal point of attention, with discussions revolving not only around his performance in the film “Jeanne du Barry,” but also on the storm of attention drawn to his discolored and crooked teeth.
A user remarked, “Johnny Depp’s teeth were really in a bad state.” Another user argued, “Johnny Depp looks like someone grabbed his teeth and painted them black.”
In the midst of the public’s concern about Johnny Depp’s oral health, a renowned dentist, Dr. Apabu, told “Page Six” that this was simply a “severe” case of wear and tear on his teeth, with Johnny Depp likely not having had his teeth cleaned in many years.
Johnny Depp, a three-time Oscar nominee, won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy for his role in “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street,” and later won a Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actor for his performance in “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.” In 2012, he was listed in the Guinness World Records as the highest-paid actor, earning $95 million.
In 2016, Hollywood actress Amber Heard filed for divorce from Depp and accused him of domestic violence, leading to Depp losing film and television work and suffering damage to his image. In 2019, Depp filed a defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife, Amber, who then countersued the following year.
The court proceedings began in April 2022. Throughout the lawsuit, details of their private lives were gradually exposed, causing public opinion to shift in sympathy towards Depp. On June 1 of the same year, a jury in a Virginia court ruled in Depp’s favor on all seven points of his lawsuit, while only one of the three points in Amber’s counterclaim was upheld.
Ultimately, the judge ordered Amber to pay Depp $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages. However, under Virginia law, punitive damages are capped at $350,000, thus reducing the total amount to $10.35 million. On the other hand, Depp was ordered to pay Amber $2 million in compensatory damages, with no punitive damages required. The century-long divorce case finally came to a close.
