I didn’t recognise him! He’s scrubbed up well hasn’t he in preparation for an upcoming role ‘Day Drinker’ as a guest onboard a yacht. He’s 61 now and it’s good to see him ditching the ‘grunge look’ with the beads, bandanas etc. okay it’s only for a production but I think he looks great!

He still abused his much younger girlfriend though... and fantasised about killing her to his friends.... Court in case in London decided that (that was the court case that doesn't get all over the media unlike the showtrial in the US which also found against him, as well as her.) He can be as handsome as he likes, I still wouldn't want my daughter going near him.

Thanks for this reminder

That court case was very unsavoury. It saddened me as I’d always loved him as an actor and even more as a loving father and loyal husband to his wife and admired how he supported the hospital that treated his daughter.But then it all seemed to unravel when he split up from his wife and I can’t look on him in the same way now.

He wasn't in Thelma and Louise ... that was the other one grin - Brad Pitt.

JD doesn't do it for me either ... and in the pic it still looks as if he is sporting a pony tail.

I rather liked the pirate look.

henetha Wed 16-Apr-25 17:24:32

Just regarding his looks, I think he's gorgeous....

Ziggy62 Wed 16-Apr-25 17:25:58

Agreed. I thought I was dreaming when I saw him in Birmingham
Felt like a teenager again

He was beautiful in Edward Scissorhands.

I don’t think Kate Moss ever got over their split. And it took Winona Ryder a long time, too. I can understand that!

Not sure about this new look. As a pirate, he made me melt!

I liked him in Thelma and Louise but that was an epic film anyway…..

I don't think he was in Thelma and Louise.

Brad Pitt was.

He wasn't in Thelma and Louise that was Brad Pitt

Lupatria Sun 20-Apr-25 13:49:22

i'd join a queue if i was younger and fitter!

All of you 😁

He looks attractive in that photo. Generally I'm not keen.

Mojack26 Sun 20-Apr-25 14:25:51

Needing a haircut but look is probably for his role

Tooyoungytobeagrandma Sun 20-Apr-25 14:33:48

Nell82 mmmm I'm with you on the Jack Sparrow look or Chocolat 😜 I like all his "looks". He has great bone structure and an easy "air" about the way he carries himself. I'm off to cool down as well 😁

Iam64 Sun 20-Apr-25 14:59:25

Men who drink drug and violent never did it for me. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near him

He wasn’t like that when he was married to Vanessa Paradis though. Seemed to be a loving husband and father. Then his marriage broke up and he ended up in a destructive relationship with that other woman. I totally went off him then and don’t understand why he’s still in that after shave advert that was him as he was not what he is now. I do think he’s a good actor, though and respected the way that he went for indie films in much the same way that Cillian Murphy has always done.

Gogo84 Sun 20-Apr-25 16:20:30

I agree. Don't care for him at all.

Susieq62 Sun 20-Apr-25 16:49:20

I think he is handsome plus I don’t believe all that was said in the court case! Other women defended him!

melp1 Sun 20-Apr-25 17:08:24

Ditch the beard and cut the hair!

Camry1952 Sun 20-Apr-25 18:37:29

If I had randomly seen the photo I wouldn't have recognized him. Thank you for sharing it. I know he's a bit of a bad boy but so stunning to look at. Aging well!

Allsorts Sun 20-Apr-25 18:37:55

Prefer his new look, always thought he needed a shower. Do not believe all I read about him and think he and Amber bought the worst out in each other.

Iam64 Sun 20-Apr-25 19:02:58

Yes indeed, some couples do bring out the worst in each other. It’s important to remember in the English court case, where Depp sued `The Sub newspaper , the Judge ruled that a newspaper article calling Depp ‘a wife beater’ was substantionallg true. The court found 12 of 14,alleged incidents against Bamber Heard has occurred. Consequently, Depp lost the libel case.

It should no longer surprise us that women defend men like this despite the fact 1.2 women each week are murdered by male ex/partner,
