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!

I'm inclined to think that the Amber Heard episode still casts a shadow over him. Although, IMHO, she was using him to further her ambitions (what happened to her?) she still managed to throw enough mud, re Domestic Abuse, for some of it to still stick.
His good looks alone had women flocking to the court each day to throw flowers at him and ask for his autograph. That was disturbing in view of the nature of the court case.

@ shinamae
Didn’t he turn down the role in Thelma and Louse? Wasn’t it Brad Pitt?

I love his cheekbones.

Mt61- so you’re dismissing a high court judgement

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.

Sounds like they abused each other, tbh.
Looks way better like this, although I thought he had brown eyes. He alway looks like he needs a good wash.

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

I'm sorry, but if he behaved badly towards just one woman that's enough for me. Maybe around other women he behaved well, because they did everything he wanted them to, but who could trust him not knowing whether he might turn violent if you did something to piss him off.

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,

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.

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!

Ditch the beard and cut the hair!

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

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.

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 😁

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

Needing a haircut but look is probably for his role

Moggycuddler Sun 20-Apr-25 14:22:04

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

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.

Oh yes, you’re right 😬😂

All of you 😁

i liked the grunge look and he does scrub up very well.
i'd join a queue if i was younger and fitter!

AncientGleek Sun 20-Apr-25 13:46:38

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

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.

Cabowich Sun 20-Apr-25 06:33:18

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

MayBee70 Wed 16-Apr-25 17:32:05

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

MayBee70 Wed 16-Apr-25 17:29:03

He was beautiful in Edward Scissorhands.
