Johnny Depp Goes Public With Fresh Shave Transformation After Ditching Longtime Goatee

Published

on

Johnny Depp is soaking up as much of a resurgence as possible following his win over Amber Heard in their defamation trial if you can consider that victory. Now he’s out working on being a rock star, buddying up with Jeff Beck and preparing for an album.

He’s also doing some shaving, according to Parade, ditching his long-running facial hair for a clean-shaven look. As Depp has shared in the past, he cannot grow a full beard. It just grows in much as you see it, becoming a signature look for the Pirates of the Caribbean alum.

He showed off his shaved look during an appearance with Beck at the Oct. 12 SiriusXM Town Hall, promoting their new album 18. The 59-year-old likely saw his face plastered all over during his trial and wanted to distance himself from the controversy he’s faced over the past few years.

A shaved face and fresh music are only the latest bit of news for Depp in the wake of the trial. Many speculated that Depp was dating his lawyer, Camille Vasquez, but it turns out he’s actually connected to his other lawyer, Joelle Rich. She represented him in his failed libel case in the U.K., with Us Weekly reporting that the couple is “the real deal.”

Depp also made a strange cameo at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards, appearing as the face of a CGI spaceman floating above the audience at the annual show. “I just want you guys to know I’m available for birthdays, bat mitzvahs, weddings, wakes – any old thing you need,” Depp said, returning throughout the night. “Hey VMAs, let’s get back to the f-ing music, shall we?” The actor is also the face of Dior after the trial, though hard to think they wanted him shaved and looking unlike Johnny Depp.

There is also Heard’s appeal and lingering accusations from her camp that are still looming on the horizon for the actor. The actress filed her appeal back in July, soon after the original trial wrapped up, and alleged that the court made mistakes.

“We believe the court made errors that prevented a just and fair verdict consistent with the First Amendment. We are therefore appealing the verdict. While we realize today’s filing will ignite the Twitter bonfires, there are steps we need to take to ensure both fairness and justice.”

Heard’s attorney’s made it clear that she cannot afford to pay the $10.35 million judgment to Depp and that key evidence was left on the bench during the trial. Depp’s team responded with his own appeal, adding that the jurors did not “violate their oath” and they saw no errors during the trial.

Keira Knightley Ponders a Swashbuckling Comeback in the Next Pirates of the Caribbean Installment

In a recent interview with Collider,Knightley was asked about the possibility of reprising her role as Elizabeth Swann in the upcoming “Pirates of the Caribbean” films. She responded by saying that she has not yet been approached about the project, but would definitely consider it if the opportunity arises.

“I don’t know if it’s happening,” Knightley said. “I haven’t heard anything about it. But, you know, I would always be open to the idea of revisiting Elizabeth Swann. It was a huge part of my life and career, and I’m very fond of the character.”

Knightley first appeared as Elizabeth Swann in the original “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” in 2003. She continued to play the character in the following two sequels, “Dead Man’s Chest” and “At World’s End,” before sitting out the fourth installment, “On Stranger Tides.”

While Knightley’s character was not present in “On Stranger Tides,” the film still managed to gross over $1 billion worldwide. The most recent entry in the franchise, “Dead Men Tell No Tales,” was released in 2017 and also went on to earn over $794 million globally.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, which has seen its fair share of ups and downs in recent years. Johnny Depp, who played the lead role of Captain Jack Sparrow, was dropped from the series following allegations of domestic abuse. The studio has since announced that it is planning to reboot the franchise with a new cast and crew.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding the future of the franchise, Knightley’s potential return to the series would undoubtedly be a welcome sight for fans. Her portrayal of Elizabeth Swann was a key factor in the success of the early “Pirates of the Caribbean” films, and her absence from the later entries was felt by many.

Knightley has remained busy in the years since her last “Pirates” film, taking on a variety of roles in both independent and big-budget productions. She has been nominated for two Academy Awards for her performances in “Pride & Prejudice” and “The Imitation Game,” and has also appeared in films such as “Atonement,” “Anna Karenina,” and “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms.”

Whether or not Knightley ultimately returns to the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, her fans can look forward to seeing her in a variety of upcoming projects. She is set to star in the upcoming biographical drama “Silent Night,” as well as the action thriller “The Essex Serpent
