Johnny Depp, 61, Called ‘Homeless’ as He Poses on a Yacht with Another Famous Star

Johnny Depp is soaking up the sun in Italy with some famous friends, but not everyone is impressed. As photos of Depp on a yacht with Will Smith make the rounds online, fans are buzzing about his surprising appearance and choice of outfit.

Johnny Depp is enjoying life to the fullest, but critics just can’t leave him alone. The celebrated actor has been basking in the Italian sun and mingling with other A-listers, but it’s his appearance that’s got the internet talking. It’s not just about him being there; his outfits are causing quite a stir too.

A series of photos shared on Instagram shows Depp aboard a yacht with other celebrities, including Will Smith. The group looks to be in high spirits, enjoying the glorious summer weather. However, what truly stood out for many was Depp’s attire and appearance, which some found surprising.

Keeping it simple, Depp rocked a grey T-shirt beneath a floral shirt left open. Despite the sunny weather, he chose to wear jeans and even had a cardigan tied around his waist. Completing his look were a bandana, cap, and sunglasses.

Critics didn’t hold back. One commented on Depp’s aging, stating, “Depp has not aged well. He looks rough.” Another remarked, “Depp needs meat, gym, and shower.” Skeptics questioned his identity, with one suggesting, “That’s his clone,” while another harshly compared him to a “homeless guy.”

Other observers noted, “There’s something different about Depp,” and one even suggested, “Johnny looks sick.” Perhaps the most biting comment was, “Why does Johnny look like a lesbian carpenter.”

A day after mingling with other A-listers on a yacht, Depp joined forces with Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli for a heartfelt performance at the latter’s concert. The duo took the stage to honor the late English guitarist, Jeff Beck, who passed away in 2023 from bacterial meningitis.

At the Teatro del Silenzio in Italy, Depp and Bocelli performed “En Aranjuez Con Tu Amor,” a song they first played together in 2020 when Depp visited Bocelli with Beck. This emotional tribute showcased Depp’s close friendship with Beck.

Smith, another A-list guest, also performed at the event. The camaraderie between Depp and Smith was evident, highlighting their rapport. This isn’t the first time Depp and Smith have been seen together.

In November 2023, they attended the star-studded Red Sea International Film Festival in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. A video uploaded by Smith on Instagram captured special moments from the festival, including a friendly hug and a light-hearted conversation between the two Hollywood icons.

Even as Depp makes public appearances, his fashion choices continue to be a hot topic among fans and critics alike. Earlier this month, “The Pirates of the Caribbean” actor ignited a firestorm of debate online while in London.

Depp was spotted in a good mood during a rare public appearance, captivating onlookers after a night of partying with friends in London. The beloved actor and singer was seen emerging from Cipriani, an upscale Italian restaurant in Mayfair, well past midnight.

The actor had enjoyed a leisurely four-hour dinner, his cheerful demeanor suggesting a night well spent. Depp, known for his distinctive fashion sense, did not disappoint.

He sported a striped suit layered over a loose shirt, effortlessly blending sophistication with his signature quirkiness. A black fedora and shades added an air of mystery, while his colorful shoes brought a playful touch to the ensemble.

Completing the look, he wore a shell-beaded necklace, a testament to his eclectic taste in accessories. In one hand, the 61-year-old actor clutched a book, and from his mouth dangled what appeared to be a cigarillo, further enhancing his enigmatic charm.

The sight of Depp in his element, savoring a rare night out, sparked a flurry of reactions from fans online. His photos quickly went viral, with netizens sharing their different opinions. Some admired his unique style while others had something different to say.

“He just gets more gorgeous every single day!!!,” wrote one admirer. Another enthusiastically stated, “Love it! Johnny Depp out in London town with his mates (both looking fiiiiiiine, might I add)[sic].”

However, not everyone was impressed. One critic felt Depp was too old to be partying, commenting, “Partying? He should be in a nursing home.” This sentiment was quickly countered by another user who wrote, “He has money that he has earned with work. You can spend and enjoy whatever you want. It’s your life.”

Despite the mixed reactions, Johnny Depp’s late-night outing in London highlighted his enduring charisma and unique style, reminding the world why he continues to be a figure of fascination and debate.

Back in May, the Oscar nominee surprised everyone with a new haircut. During the London premiere of “Jeanne du Barry,” Depp impressed fans with a bold new style that harked back to his earlier days in the spotlight.

He debuted a short haircut, a departure from his usual long, tousled locks. Depp’s new look sparked a flurry of reactions on social media as netizens quickly voiced their opinions.

The film marked one of Depp’s major film comebacks since his 2022 defamation trial with ex-wife Amber Heard. His new hairstyle had sparked fan discussions, some linking it to the aftermath of their publicized legal battle.

The actor’s transformation was for his role as King Louis XV in “Jeanne du Barry,” directed by Maïwenn, who also stars alongside Depp. Despite his initial reluctance to star in the film, he felt fortunate to receive the opportunity to play the French royal.

Depp said, “I feel very lucky to have been [offered the role] – strangely, oddly, perversely lucky.” While he revived a French monarch on screen, he had also set his sights off-screen on a historic $4 million castle in Turin, Italy, which stirred some local controversy.

Renzo Galletto, the mayor of Montaldo Dora, expressed reservations about the Hollywood star owning this property. “A celebrity buying a historic monument like the Montalto Dora castle would bring a lot of attention to the area, but we’re not sure if it would be the right ‘economic synergy’ for the community,” he said.

Galletto highlighted that the castle is a “Site of Community Interest,” which imposes specific regulations. “Building [anything new inside or out] would require a lot of approvals and permissions,” he added. The castle is also protected by the Italian Cultural Heritage.
