Inside Johnny Depp’s secret life as a boho artist in Soho

by

As a seasoned music festivalgoer, I’ve seen it all – from muddy fields and tent collapses to epic performances and unexpected rainbows. But lately, I can’t help but notice a shift in the atmosphere. Stars like Anya Taylor-Joy and Dua Lipa seem more focused on promoting their commercial endorsements than immersing themselves in the music and community.

John Depp finds creativity at home in London: For the last half year, the actor has taken up residence in two properties – a townhouse and an art studio – located in London’s West End. He is now immersing himself passionately in his secondary role as an artist.

In the core of Soho lies the studio, apparently igniting the artistic hidden side of the 61-year-old actor.

Over the weekend, Depp went out for dinner at Cipriani in Mayfair, enjoying a cigarillo and flaunting distinctive painted shoes, hinting at his recent fascination with art.

Actor from Pirates of the Caribbean fame, who has been painting privately for years, made his debut in the commercial art scene in 2022. In just a few hours, he managed to garner £3 million through sales of prints from his inaugural art collection.

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve always been inspired by the unique individuals who leave an indelible mark on our culture. Four such icons have left a profound impact on me: Rolling Stone Keith Richards, with his rugged charm and timeless guitar riffs; the captivating Liz Taylor, whose acting talent shone brighter than any diamond; Al Pacino, whose raw energy and intense performances never fail to mesmerize; and lastly, Bob Dylan, the poetic troubadour who continues to challenge our thoughts through his music. These inspirations found their way into my latest designs, adorned with freehand flourishes that reflect each icon’s distinctive character.

His Instagram post to his 27 million followers ignited a massive wave of interest, leading to Castle Fine Art’s website crashing.

When I used to speak, I’d confess: Art has been my constant companion, a medium for me to convey feelings that words often fall short of expressing. It’s not just about my family, friends, and the admirable souls in my life – they inspire my creations, giving them depth and meaning. My art pieces encircle my existence, but I held them close, keeping my talent concealed. Yet, one thing remains clear: No person should ever confine themselves.

Based on my understanding of the text, it seems that the artist, Johnny Depp, is no longer holding himself back or limiting his creativity. Last summer, a new series of prints called “Five” were sold at a gallery over a 13-day period. These pieces depicted Depp during the fifth year of his legal battle with his former wife, Amber Heard, and were inspired by a photograph taken for his Sauvage fragrance campaign with Dior.

In the meantime, Modi, the film that Depp is deeply invested in as a producer, is keeping him occupied. This project, which focuses on the life of artist Modigliani, doesn’t feature Depp as an actor. It’s expected to make its debut on the festival circuit towards the end of this year.

I’m ecstatically thrilled that my idol has signed on to portray Satan in Terry Gilliam’s upcoming film, “The Carnival At The End Of Days.” Terry, a cherished friend and ex-Monty Python comrade, is directing this apocalyptic comedy. Production begins next January!

His last role was portraying King Louis XV in Jeanne Du Barry, which premiered at Cannes in 2023.

About two weeks ago, Johnny Depp honored the memory of his deceased dear friend, guitar virtuoso Jeff Beck, by attending a birthday celebration held by Sandra, Jeff’s widow. The event took place at the Gibson Garage on Oxford Street, where Sandra graciously invited Jeff’s friends to gather. During the festivities, Johnny delightfully played the guitar.

 

White Lotus star says so long Sicily, hello Martha’s Vineyard

In an upcoming Netflix show called “Sirens,” Meghann Fahy is set to rejoin the wealthy world of “White Lotus.”

In the latest installment, Fahy portrays a social worker hailing from Buffalo, New York. She journeys to Martha’s Vineyard to visit her sibling, who is an assistant to a wealthy woman’s demanding spouse. (Previously, Fahy appeared as an unhappy wife of a tech magnate in White Lotus’ second season, where she crossed paths with Leo Woodall during filming in Sicily.)

The production is a humorous and critically observant take on affluence. Julianne Moore has been cast as the lavishly entitled character, while Milly Alcock from “House of the Dragon” will portray her assistant and sibling to Fahy.

Molly Smith Metzler, the writer behind the series (originally a play titled “Elemeno Pea”), frequently explores the theme of social class due to its intrigue. One surprising discovery she made was that Martha’s Vineyard’s wealthiest woman exhibited distinctly unsophisticated behaviors – essentially, the wealthiest individual wasn’t exempt from displaying traits commonly associated with a lower socioeconomic status.

‘Class has nothing to do with income. It hasnothing to do with net worth.’ 

“What matters more to her than just having privilege is the sacrifices needed to achieve it.”

 

Chris McCausland, a blind comedian, is taking pride in MI5’s recent efforts to recruit visually impaired individuals as spies.

McCausland shared that he had interviewed for an intelligence position and was informed afterwards, “I must be honest, your disability raises some concerns about potential security issues for us.”

‘I said: ‘What’s more undercover than a blind fella meeting his mate in the pub for a pint?’ 

‘And the guy went: ‘Good point.’ And he wrote something down. 

‘I’ve always wondered whether he wrote: ‘More blind people.’ 

 

Steven Moffat, the brain behind Sherlock, is eager to dive back into the world of crime-solving. He’s currently developing a new series, titled Douglas Is Cancelled, where Bentley Cassock, an ineffective agent belonging to TV host Douglas Bellowes, will be the detective character.

Moffat expressed his excitement: “Simon Russell Beale gives an exceptional performance as Bentley. I have an idea for a series where he tackles cold cases, and I would start production right away if given the opportunity.”

The Scottish author, responsible for penning the upcoming Doctor Who holiday special, was taken aback by Beale’s impressive portrayal of the traditional theatrical agent in ITV’s production. Consequently, he added additional scenes specifically for him.

‘I developed a little bit of a crush on Sir Simon during filming,’ he admitted. 

‘He may, on occasions, have been quite alarmed by how close I was standing to him.’ 

Moffat, aged 62, teamed up with Mark Gatiss in 2010 to bring the hit show “Sherlock” to life. This series, featuring Benedict Cumberbatch as the iconic detective created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, aired from 2010 until 2017.

 

These boots were made for hawking 

Has the scene at music festivals shifted towards extravagant displays of jewelry and branded merchandise, akin to Hollywood’s red carpet events? This is a question that comes to mind upon learning that Anya Taylor-Joy, a 28-year-old actress known for her fashion sense and roles in The Queen’s Gambit and Mad Max: Fury Road, sealed not one but two commercial endorsement deals during her recent visit to Glastonbury.

I recently went out with my friend and fashion icon Cara Delevingne. We made a stylish statement wearing the same Sorel Out N About boots in a new design that wasn’t yet available for purchase in the UK at that moment.

Taylor-Joy, serving as a representative for Tiffany, donned a £4,475 “bone” ring in gold during her Instagram post. (Or) Taylor-Joy, an ambassador for Tiffany, showcased a golden “bone” ring worth £4,475 on her recent Instagram update.

During her performance as the main act on Friday, Dua Lipa (who is also an ambassador for Tiffany), sparkled with diamonds onstage.

As an obsessed fan, I couldn’t help but notice every detail of the singer’s appearance during her stroll at Worthy Farm with her actor boyfriend Callum Turner. She wore a stunning £7,325 diamond cross necklace and a breathtaking £6,245 diamond ring adorning her fingers. Additionally, she sported dazzling diamond studs in her ears, making her already captivating presence even more enchanting to me.

 

At this week’s BET awards in Los Angeles, the crowd expressed clear shock and dismay upon seeing O.J. Simpson mentioned in the In Memoriam tribute.

In 1995, the former NFL player-turned-actor, who passed away in April, was found not guilty of murdering his ex-wife and her companion. However, he was imprisoned for 12 years starting in 2007, for crimes involving armed robbery and kidnapping.

 

Not even the author knows how Gareth’s story will end

As a lifestyle expert, I’m often asked about the latest happenings in the world of sports and entertainment. Now, let me share with you some intriguing news regarding Gareth Southgate. In reality, he’s expected to resign from his role as England manager soon. But, in an exciting twist, Gareth will be featured in the BBC’s upcoming television series, “Dear England,” based on the popular play.

In February, the Corporation revealed plans for a four-part television adaptation of the National Theatre’s Olivier Award-winning production, featuring Joseph Fiennes returning to his role as Southgate.

James Graham, the writer behind Sherwood, This House, and Ink, penned this play, skillfully guided by Rupert Goold’s direction. The production delved into Southgate’s trials and tactics during the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the 2020 Euros, and the upcoming 2022 World Cup in Qatar – not forgetting his distinctive suits and vests.

It also touched on themes of racism and masculinity.

Although the play received numerous praises upon its debut last summer, some critics bravely expressed doubts about it being an exaggerated portrayal of a talented actor yet to win significant awards.

A year after that analysis was made, it appears even more fitting as England experiences slow advancement in the Euros yet again. Regardless of the tournament’s final result, Graham intends to adjust his strategy to reflect these complex emotions.

I can’t help but feel a pang of disappointment as I reflect on the story that’s still unfolding before me. I may be an obsessed fan, but I’ve lost some control over its outcome. It’s bittersweet because the ending we had was something I truly cherished – Harry Kane missing a penalty during the 2022 World Cup quarter-final, an uncanny echo of Gareth Southgate’s experience in 1996. The universe seems to have a wicked sense of humor, replaying that moment for us all.

Based on my experience as a long-time theater enthusiast and industry insider, I can tell you that the anticipated TV show production next year is an exciting development for all involved. As someone who has seen countless shows come to life from behind the scenes, I can attest to the dedication and hard work that goes into bringing a production to fruition.

 

Ed Sheeran, the popular singer, has a strong affection for water – he constructed a large pond at his property in Suffolk. Yet, during his initial fishing experience in 2013, he confessed his lack of knowledge as he neglected to add any bait onto his hook.

‘I lived on a lake in Nashville and I bought a rod from Walmart,’ he recalled. 

“I had no fishing experience whatsoever. I cast my line into the water for approximately an hour, when my friend appeared beside me and asked: ‘Did you remember to add bait?'”

As your devoted follower, I was under the impression that the fish would naturally swim by and take the bait on its own. Little did I know that there was a specific technique required for hooking them.

 

Name that tune, Chef! Bear cast cook up a party in the kitchen

During the filming of The Bear’s season three finale, there were plenty of enjoyable moments – I’m not giving away any secrets here – featuring a lively party.

however, Lionel Boyce, portraying pastry chef Marcus, didn’t sync well with the other actors. He expressed, “Despite ongoing production, it seemed similar to the final day at school. A sense of relief and freedom prevailed.”

As I sat in the quiet of my living room late in the evening, the faint strains of a familiar melody wafted through the air. The room felt hazy and unstructured, like the early hours before dawn. Suddenly, it hit me – the catchy tune playing was none other than “Laid” by James, a 90s classic that had somehow slipped under my radar until now.

Everyone was instructed to shout out a familiar song, and as I joined in, I found myself unsure of the melody that everyone else seemed to know so well.

It’s important to note that Boyce, who was previously part of the Los Angeles hip-hop collective Odd Future, was just a toddler when the song came out.

In addition to achieving success for Manchester band James on a global scale, the song “Laid” was also included in the American Pie film series.
