Critics didn't hold back. One commented on Depp's aging, stating, "Depp has not aged well. He looks rough." Another remarked, "Depp needs meat, gym, and shower." Skeptics questioned his identity, with one suggesting, "That's his clone," while another harshly compared him to a "homeless guy."
Other observers noted, "There's something different about Depp," and one even suggested, "Johnny looks sick." Perhaps the most biting comment was, "Why does Johnny look like a lesbian carpenter."
A day after mingling with other A-listers on a yacht, Depp joined forces with Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli for a heartfelt performance at the latter's concert. The duo took the stage to honor the late English guitarist, Jeff Beck, who passed away in 2023 from bacterial meningitis.
At the Teatro del Silenzio in Italy, Depp and Bocelli performed "En Aranjuez Con Tu Amor," a song they first played together in 2020 when Depp visited Bocelli with Beck. This emotional tribute showcased Depp's close friendship with Beck.
Smith, another A-list guest, also performed at the event. The camaraderie between Depp and Smith was evident, highlighting their rapport. This isn't the first time Depp and Smith have been seen together.
In November 2023, they attended the star-studded Red Sea International Film Festival in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. A video uploaded by Smith on Instagram captured special moments from the festival, including a friendly hug and a light-hearted conversation between the two Hollywood icons.
Even as Depp makes public appearances, his fashion choices continue to be a hot topic among fans and critics alike. Earlier this month, "The Pirates of the Caribbean" actor ignited a firestorm of debate online while in London.
Depp was spotted in a good mood during a rare public appearance, captivating onlookers after a night of partying with friends in London. The beloved actor and singer was seen emerging from Cipriani, an upscale Italian restaurant in Mayfair, well past midnight.

The actor had enjoyed a leisurely four-hour dinner, his cheerful demeanor suggesting a night well spent. Depp, known for his distinctive fashion sense, did not disappoint.

Completing the look, he wore a shell-beaded necklace, a testament to his eclectic taste in accessories. In one hand, the 61-year-old actor clutched a book, and from his mouth dangled what appeared to be a cigarillo, further enhancing his enigmatic charm.
The sight of Depp in his element, savoring a rare night out, sparked a flurry of reactions from fans online. His photos quickly went viral, with netizens sharing their different opinions. Some admired his unique style while others had something different to say.
"He just gets more gorgeous every single day!!!," wrote one admirer. Another enthusiastically stated, "Love it! Johnny Depp out in London town with his mates (both looking fiiiiiiine, might I add)[sic]."
However, not everyone was impressed. One critic felt Depp was too old to be partying, commenting, "Partying? He should be in a nursing home." This sentiment was quickly countered by another user who wrote, "He has money that he has earned with work. You can spend and enjoy whatever you want. It's your life."
Despite the mixed reactions, Johnny Depp's late-night outing in London highlighted his enduring charisma and unique style, reminding the world why he continues to be a figure of fascination and debate.

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.

Depp said, "I feel very lucky to have been [offered the role] – strangely, oddly, perversely lucky." While he revived a French monarch on screen, he had also set his sights off-screen on a historic $4 million castle in Turin, Italy, which stirred some local controversy.
Renzo Galletto, the mayor of Montaldo Dora, expressed reservations about the Hollywood star owning this property. "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 said.
Galletto highlighted that the castle is a "Site of Community Interest," which imposes specific regulations. "Building [anything new inside or out] would require a lot of approvals and permissions," he added. The castle is also protected by the Italian Cultural Heritage.
