A versatile actor

The 58-year-old actor has about 100 different on-screen appearances to his credit, which shows his versatility as an actor. Apart from his iconic role as Captain Jack Sparrow in The Pirates of Caribbean series (2003- Present), Depp has had a lot of success, from What’s Eating Gilbert Grape (1993, Donnie Brasco (1997), Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998), and more. He was recently present as a guest at the Deauville American Film Festival in France for the premiere of his movie, ‘City of Lies’.

Johnny Depp had been embroiled in a long-standing controversy with his ex-wife, Amber Heard who had back in 2016 accused the star of being abusive under the influence of alcohol. What followed in the following years was a very public and legal battle between the two sides. This almost led to an implicit ban on the career of Johnny Depp. However, with the once again public defamation suit against Amber Heard, Johnny Depp seems to have taken another step in restarting his acting career.
