The Actor Was Previously Compared To His Jack Sparrow Character Due To The State Of His Teeth
The new makeover comes after the 61-year-old actor set tongues wagging with his teeth after making his Hollywood comeback last year.
At the time, Depp showed off what fans said were his “rotten” teeth as he received a seven-minute standing ovation at the premiere of his film “Jeanne du Barry” at the Cannes Film Festival.
Fans couldn’t help but pick on his colored teeth, which seemed to show signs of decay as he posed for photos on the red carpet.
According to the Daily Mail, Depp has previously weighed in on his dental health, telling Premiere Magazine in 1995 that he had “loads of cavities” by the age of 31.
“I had a root canal done eight years ago that’s unfinished. It’s like a rotten little stub,” Depp said at the time. “When I see people with perfect teeth, it drives me up the wall. I’d rather swallow a tick than have that!”

Johnny Depp Is ‘Prioritizing His Health And Wellbeing’
Meanwhile, a source close to the “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” actor recently told People Magazine that he’s moving forward in his life without any hate and is prioritizing his health more these days.
“He is prioritizing his health and wellbeing much more these days,” the source shared. “People were loving his look for the Jeanne du Barry U.K. premiere. He got a new haircut, he looked polished and clean-cut. He’s lost weight. He’s feeling and looking healthier.”
“He’s taking advantage of being in this better headspace,” the insider added. “There’s a lot of good energy, and he surrounds himself with a good group of people.”
The Actor Is Focused On ‘Moving Forward’
Nearly two years after his heated defamation case against his ex-wife, Amber Heard, in Virginia, they eventually reached a settlement, and the actor was paid $1 million, which he distributed to five different charities.
The source explained that there are no more loose ends in that litigation, and Depp has seemingly settled for “more of a quiet life” in London, where he sings and paints when he’s not making films.
“He’s focused on moving forward,” the source told People. “He’s keeping busy. There’s a lot of good distractions, so there’s not that much time to be reminiscing on that darker period.”
“There’s been a release of the old and embarking on this new chapter. He’s feeling better about where he is in life,” the insider explained. “There’s no animosity toward anybody.”
