Johnny Depp, 61, Turns Heads with Hollywood Comeback and Shocking New Look

Johnny Depp’s long-awaited comeback to the big screen is finally here — and fans can’t stop talking about his dramatic new look. After years away from Hollywood spotlight, the actor is stepping back in with a bold transformation that’s turning heads.

Johnny Depp is back in front of the camera - and he looks totally transformed.

Lionsgate just announced that filming has started on a new thriller called Day Drinker. They even shared a behind-the-scenes photo of Depp holding a drink on set.

At 61, the Pirates of the Caribbean star looks almost unrecognizable. He now has a full gray beard, blue contact lenses instead of his usual brown eyes, and salt-and-pepper hair instead of his signature messy brown locks.

Depp took a break from Hollywood after his very public court battle with ex-wife Amber Heard in 2022.

After laying low for a while, Depp is now returning to acting. But he doesn’t see it as a "comeback."

“I didn’t go anywhere,” Depp said. “Maybe people stopped calling because they were scared, but I’ve always been here.”

He added, “Calling it a ‘comeback’ sounds like I’m about to dance for approval.”

Day Drinker is expected to hit theaters next year.

Fans were excited with such a huge news, and shared comments about Depp’s new look.

• He looks better as a silver fox than any other style I’ve seen so far. This is really a game changer. Looked good when he was Grindelwald but for some reason this one is different must be the tan that blends so well with it. © carmenlafavourite1 / Instagram

A Johnny Depp fan shared videos and images of the actor after meeting him for the first time during his trip to the Bahamas, reigniting discussions about Depp’s teeth, which now look noticeably different compared to their previously damaged state.

On August 30, 2024, Johnny Depp’s followers got a fresh look at him when a bartender from Lorraine’s Cafe & High Tide, known as @k***erbartender, posted the footage. Fans were stunned by the transformation in Depp’s appearance, noting how his teeth had gone from rotten to healthy-looking.

One person commented, “Good to see Johnny so relaxed and living his best life. And yes, his teeth look healthier, and he just couldn’t help but flash them. Stay healthy, Johnny.” Another, also fixated on his teeth, questioned, “Am I right to see that his teeth are looking brighter than ever before?”

Whether you call it a comeback or just another chapter, one thing’s clear - Johnny Depp is back, and he’s not holding anything back. And he’s not alone - Hollywood is seeing the return of several beloved stars, including Cameron Diaz, who just made her first red carpet appearance in five years. It looks like 2025 is shaping up to be the year of unforgettable comebacks.
