Where’s our handsome pirate? Fans fear for Depp
PALE and gaunt, he is a shadow of the swaggering swashbuckling pirate the world fell in love with.
This new picture of Pirates Of The Caribbean star Johnny Depp sparked fears for his health this week after he posed with fans in Russia where he is touring with his band The Hollywood Vampires.
Fans took to social media saying the 54-year-old was ‘barely recognisable’ while another concerned woman wrote: ‘I think that my hero looks ill.’ One Twitter user remarked: ‘F*** me, is that Johnny Depp?’
Depp has long struggled with addiction issues, previously telling Rolling Stone magazine: ‘I’m a dumb a** and I poisoned myself for years. I was poisoning myself with alcohol and medicating myself.’
The actor returns to the big screen later this year as he reprises the role of Grindelwald in Harry Potter spin-off Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald.
