Johnny Depp has long been outspoken about his dental imperfections, boasting in a 1995 Premiere Magazine interview about his “brown decaying teeth.” Depp described his oral condition as “like a rotten little stub” from an unfinished root canal, proudly likening it to intentional imperfections in beaded crafts. He expressed disdain for perfect white teeth, stating, “When I see people with perfect teeth, it drives me up the wall. I’d rather swallow a tick than have that!”
This personal quirk has led to some online criticism, with fans commenting on his dental state. One user tweeted, “Johnny Depp’s teeth appear to be rotting,” while another noted, “Seeing that pic of Johnny Depp’s teeth on my tl just ruined my mood.” Comparisons with his ex-wife, Amber Heard, have also surfaced, with some users attributing his dental issues to lifestyle choices, including “rum, drugs, alimony.”
Despite the buzz around his dental appearance, Depp’s latest film, Jeanne Du Barry, has been well-received at the Cannes Film Festival. Depp, who stars as King Louis XV, was visibly emotional as the audience applauded his performance. The film’s director and star, Maïwenn, also shed tears during her speech, expressing gratitude for the support and acknowledgment of the film’s challenging production.
Festival director Thierry Fremaux addressed Depp’s presence and the surrounding controversy, emphasizing the importance of freedom of expression within legal bounds. Fremaux stated, “I don’t know about the image of Johnny Depp in the US. To tell you the truth, in my life, I only have one rule: It’s the freedom of thinking, and the freedom of speech and acting within a legal framework. If Johnny Depp had been banned from acting in a film, or the film was banned, we wouldn’t be here talking about it.”
