At the London premiere of “Jeanne du Barry,” Johnny Depp dazzled netizens with a dramatic new look reminiscent of his early career. He debuted a short haircut, a departure from his usual long, tousled locks.
Depp’s new look sparked a flurry of reactions on social media as netizens quickly voiced their opinions. A fan noted, “He has been looking unhealthy for awhile. I’m glad he’s past that now.” Another reacted, “He looks so much better with short hair. It makes him much younger.”
The sentiments were further reinforced by others who felt the change was significantly positive. A fan remarked “He looks great, 10 years younger,” while another echoed, “Looking sharp.” One user commented, “About time he cleaned up his act.”
