The actor came to the festival for the premiere of his film 'Jeanne du Barry'
Johnny Depp became the subject of internet attention for more than one reason after his appearance at the Cannes Film Festival, with fans pointing out his “rotten” teeth. They took to social media to compare him to his popular pirate character Captain Jack Sparrow.
The actor came to the festival for the premiere of his film
Jeanne du Barry which went on to get a seven minute standing ovation. The
announcement of his invitation to the event received significant backlash
due to his defamation case against ex-wife and actress Amber Heard.
When
posing for the cameras, people took note of the actor’s teeth that are
visibly going brown and are showing signs of decaying.
The veteran actor recently signed a $20 million deal with Dior;
however, it seems he has chosen to forego spending money on getting veneers
or composite bonding like many celebrities choose to do so.
“Very,
very, very inspired to brush my teeth, floss and use a tongue scraper every
time I see a pic of Johnny Depp at Cannes,” one user wrote.
“@Dior Johnny Depp needs to see a dentist. His teeth make him
look unhealthy,” wrote another.
Others took to defending him,
writing: “If Johnny Depp doesn't want fake ultra white teeth he doesn't need
them. I have seen a lot worse as well.”
