Johnny Depp’s ‘Silver Fox’ Transformation: Fans Love His New Look!

In a remarkable change, the well-known figure Johnny Depp appears almost untraceable in his latest role for the movie “Day Drinker”, leaving fans spellbound by his astonishing makeover.

Lionsgate has revealed an initial glimpse of Johnny Depp’s character portrayal. The actor now sports a silvery mane, a substantial, grey-colored beard, and striking blue contact lenses.

Initially, an image shows Johnny Depp at age 61 portraying his role. Remarkably, he has been significantly altered using silver hair, a voluminous grey beard, and blue contact lenses.

He stands casually, clad in a sharp, azure suit, leaning nonchalantly against a bar counter while holding a drink – a contemplative expression gracing his countenance.

61-year-old Depp was admired by fans for his “silvery-gray” charm, with many commenting that he appeared significantly different than his typical image, as he frequently alters his physique for film roles.

‘We are entering the Silver Fox era of Johnny Depp and I am here for it,’ one posted. 

As a dedicated follower, I must say, Johnny Depp is truly embodying the silver fox charm during the filming of Day Drinker. From what I’ve seen so far, this movie promises to be nothing short of amazing!

‘Who knew Johnny Depp would look this good with grey hair and beard….’ another noted.

‘He does look nice with this glow up,’ another noted.

Johnny’s outfit was similarly likened to the character portrayed by actor Jonathan Goldsmith, known as ‘The Most intriguing Man in the World,’ in the Dos Equis advertisements.

He appears to resemble the character from the Dos Equis advertisements, and I must admit, I find that quite appealing.

‘Is this the story of the “Stay thirsty my friends” guy ??’ another asked. 

Many people also mentioned that the change was similar to Johnny’s portrayal of Gellert Grindelwald in the Harry Potter movies.

‘Grindelwald vibes,’ one fan account noted with a side-by-side comparison of his two roles.  

‘He they never took away Grindelwald from us,’ one posted. 

‘Grindelwald is back !’ one fan quipped. 

Several gave shout-outs to the makeup department.  

‘Makeup department over budget on making him not look like a walking corpse,’ one X user posted.

One person said, “He always needed the costume team to do most of the acting for him. He’d joke about his blue contact lenses and wig (laughing-crying emoji), admitting it was true.

In an effort to rejuvenate his film career, which has faced challenges due to past scandals following his high-profile divorce with Amber Heard, Day Drinker represents Johnny Depp’s most ambitious attempt so far.

Marc Webb takes charge as director, and this project brings him back alongside Penelope Cruz for their fourth collaboration on a movie.

Previously, Johnny Depp and Penélope Cruz have starred together in movies such as “Blow” released in 2001, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” which came out in 2011, and “Murder on the Orient Express,” a 2017 production.

As per IMDb, the movie revolves around a mysterious newcomer who develops an unconventional relationship with a mourning bartender who suffered a loss, their paths crossing in ways they wouldn’t have anticipated.

Adam Fogelson from Lionsgate earlier mentioned to The Hollywood Reporter: ‘Day Drinker features a marketable idea with shockingly eccentric twists and turns, all within an extraordinary universe. No filmmaker fits this story better than Marc, and there aren’t two more suitable actors than Johnny and Penélope to breathe life into this world.’

2023’s Cannes Film Festival saw Johnny Depp discuss the influence on his acting profession following his high-profile separation from Amber Heard.

He expressed that it seemed like he was being excluded or shunned by Hollywood. In other words, when he was asked to step down from a project due to a matter as trivial as the sound of his name, it gave him the sensation that something larger and more sinister was at play.

Depp added, ‘I don’t feel boycotted by Hollywood, because I don’t think about Hollywood.’

In June 2022, a court ruled in favor of Johnny Depp, awarding him $10.35 million following a decision that Amber Heard’s Washington Post article, which alleged domestic abuse by her former spouse, was defamatory after his legal team presented compelling arguments to support this claim.

In my writing, I didn’t explicitly mention Johnny Depp by name, but considering our well-known relationship and the subject matter, it was clear whom I was referring to as someone with a past history of alleged abuse.

Over half a billion individuals apparently watched the six-week long civil defamation trial that took place at Fairfax County Circuit Court, Virginia, back in 2022 via live streaming.

Ultimately, he was held responsible for all three instances of defamation that were brought up, whereas Depp was found guilty of just one out of the three defamation cases.

The jury concluded that the statements made by Depp’s lawyer were defamatory towards Heard, as they implied that she and her companions falsified proof of a physical altercation involving her and her former spouse in 2016.

Ultimately, the ex-pair agreed on the jury’s compensation decision, with Heard being obliged to pay Depp a total of $1 million, leaving her owing the remaining $1 million in damages awarded initially ($2 million minus $1 million).

In 2020, Johnny Depp experienced a court loss during a defamation case, where The Sun newspaper accused him of being a domestic abuser (referred to as a ‘wife beater’).
