Swarming with projects to revive his acting career, while also performing on stage as a musician, Johnny Depp also seems to have a knack for drawing, given that he has amassed a fortune selling screen prints.
An essential face of Hollywood cinema for many years, Johnny Depp saw his career suffer a real setback, following accusations of domestic violence made by his former partner Amber Heard. The two former lovers have settled accounts in court from Fairfax, Virginia, in a highly publicized trial. In the end, justice ruled in favor of Johnny Depp, when the jury recognized Amber Heard guilty of defamation of her ex-husband. The actress was therefore ordered to pay millions of dollars to Johnny Depp in damages.
While Amber Heard’s acting career has stalled since the verdict of this trial, the former star of the franchise Pirates of the Caribbean is now trying to relaunch his own. Johnny Depp recently shot in the latest film by French director Maïwenn, in which he slipped into the skin of King Louis XV. Moreover, the actor should soon go behind the camera, in order to make his second film. Lately, his fans have been able to see him performing on stage as a musician, alongside the famous guitarist Jeff Beck, who sadly has since passed away. Besides comedy and music, Johnny Depp also seems to have some talent for drawing.
