Hollywood icon Johnny Depp revealed a dramatic transformation at the UK premiere of his new French film, Jeanne Du Barry, on Monday night. Known for his eclectic style, Depp has swapped his bohemian attire for a sharp, tailored Dior suit and a clean haircut, suggesting a fresh start as he approaches his 61st birthday.
Depp’s makeover comes after a turbulent year, marked by his legal victory over ex-wife Amber Heard. His latest appearance in London not only reflects a significant weight loss but also a move towards a more refined aesthetic, possibly in line with his upcoming Dior campaign.
Earlier this year in Turin, Italy, Depp was seen in a distinctly different ensemble featuring a rasta beanie and a camo jacket adorned with a Che Guevara patch while directing his new film about the artist Modigliani.

Jeanne du Barry is not just another film for Depp but a major comeback. Following the highly publicized trial with Heard, where Depp was awarded $10 million in damages, his return to the silver screen was met with both admiration and controversy. His performance received a standing ovation at Cannes 2023, despite some backlash over the trial’s allegations.
Amber Heard, meanwhile, has chosen to focus on her work, appearing in the first trailer for the Aquaman sequel amidst rumors of her being dropped from the franchise due to the legal drama.
Johnny Depp’s public transformation and return to acting signal a new chapter for the actor, both personally and professionally. As he redefines his image and resumes his career, the film industry and his fans are watching closely.
