Johnny Depp’s stardom and popularity across the world needs no introduction, but life has never been easy for him. From dealing with a troubled childhood to becoming an open book in front of the world during his messy divorce and defamation trial, the actor has been subjected to a lot in his life. The Pirates Of The Caribbean actor has come a long way after the much-publicized defamation courtroom trial.

He struggled with one of the toughest periods of his life when his existence crumbled into pieces. His public image took a toll on his acting career as well as his social life. He lost multiple projects and was even barred from endorsements. Johnny Depp lost everything amidst the legal mess with his ex-wife Amber Heard. But his fans and followers supported him, and his colleagues stood by him through thick and thin.

Charlize Theron Responds To A Post That Mentions Johnny Depp

The Charlie and The Chocolate Factory actor Johnny Depp made a comeback with a Cannes Film Festival opening movie Jeanne du Barry. He became the talk of the town after his portrayal of King Louis XV, whose dedication to his favorite controversial extramarital fling brought a big scandal to Versailles.

A lot has been said and published about The Alice In Wonderland actor after the announcement of his Cannes Film Festival movie Jeanne du Barry. The column written by the American film critic Stephanie Zacharek in Time magazine mentioned that the actor in his late 50s has seen highs and lows in his life. With time passing by, he is not only growing old mentally but also physically. The film critic wrote-

“To see him looking as if all the life has been sucked out of him—not to mention the creeping jowlishness, the deepening frown lines, and other physical indignities that come with getting older—is akin to watching a bird fall from the sky, though birds, unlike men, don’t bring about their own downfall.”

She further went on to add-

“Depp is a nest of tragedies, an extraordinarily gifted man who has most likely hurt others, as well as himself. He’s his own worst enemy, and no matter how loudly the crowd cheers for you, there’s no glamour or valor in that.”

The article also touched upon how the continuous ups and downs in the life of Johnny Depp have changed him as a person. Charlize Theron happened to be the only actor from Hollywood who went on to read the entire article about her The Astronaut’s Wife co-star.

She even interacted with a like and was seemingly the only person from the movie industry who actually bothered to read the entire column. The Mad Max: Fury Road actor has always supported Johnny Depp. She even confirmed that despite all this, he is still loved by his fans.
