It was then that the Edward Scissorhands (1990) star’s ex-wife — actress Amber Heard — published an OpEd in The Washington Post accusing the actor of domestic violence and sexual abuse.
While many of his fans stood by him, Depp was dropped from two major film franchises — Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean (2003) and Warner Bros. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016).

Depp ended up suing Heard for defamation of character, and a jury awarded him more than $10 million in damages in 2022. But even having a jury side with him didn’t help Depp’s career get back to where it once was. He has only appeared in a handful of films since the OpEd came out. However, he is hoping his new film, Jeanne du Barry, will give him the critical acclaim he once had.

While Depp is best known for his film roles like Captain Jack Sparrow and Sweeney Todd, he is also known for his campaign for the fashion giant, Dior.
His first Dior: Sauvage campaign launched in 2015 and a second one aired three years later. Depp is now preparing for a third fragrance campaign, and he has left fans stunned with his dramatic transformation.
Mr. Depp was recently seen out and about, looking much more clean-cut than he has in recent months. Many worried for the actor, as he was frequently seen with long, shaggy hair, an unshaven face, and appeared to be gaining a lot of weight.
But now, he has cut his long locks, cleaned up his facial hair, and is even looking a lot slimmer. Fans were shocked and praised the actor for just how incredible he looked.
