Early life

John Christopher Depp II was born in Owensboro, Kentucky, on June 9, 1963, the youngest of four children of waitress Betty Sue Depp (née Wells; later Palmer) and civil engineer John Christopher Depp II. During his youth, Depp's family migrated often, eventually settling in Miramar, Florida, in 1970. His parents divorced in 1978 when he was 15, and his mother later married Robert Palmer, whom Depp describes as "an inspiration."

When Depp's mother was 12, he was given a guitar and he began playing in various bands. In 1979, he dropped out of Miramar High School to become a rock musician. He tried to return to school two weeks later, but the principal told him not to go back to school, but the principal told him not to pursue his dream of being a singer. Depp formed The Kids in 1980, and he started playing in a band called The Kids. After modest success in Florida, the band migrated to Los Angeles in the hopes of a historic contract, renaming it Six Gun Method. In addition to the band, Depp held down a variety of odd occupations, such as in telemarketing. Depp married makeup artist Lori Anne Allison, his band's bassist and singer, in December 1983. Before signing a record contract in 1984, the Kids split up, and Depp began collaborating with the band Rock City Angels. He co-wrote their song "Mary," which appeared on Geffen Records' debut "Youth Blues." In 1985, Depp and Allison divorced.

Depp is mainly of English descent, with traces of French, German, and Irish origins. Pierre Dieppe, a French Huguenot immigrant who immigrated to Virginia around 1700, has given his surname. In interviews in 2002 and 2011, Depp claimed to have Native American ancestry, saying: "I suspect I have some Native American somewhere down the line." My great-grandmother was a bit of a Native American. She grew up Cherokee or perhaps Creek Indians. In terms of coming from Kentucky, which is rife with Cherokee and Creek Indians, makes sense. When Indian Country Today reported that Depp had never inquired about his roots or been recognized as a member of the Cherokee Nation, his allegations came under scrutiny. Depp has no documented Native ancestry, and Native American chiefs regard him as a non-Indian" and a pretendian. In The Lone Ranger, Depp's choice to play Tonto, a Native American character, was chastised, as well as his decision to name his rock band "Tonto's Giant Nuts." During the launch of The Lone Ranger, Depp was officially adopted as an honorary son by LaDonna Harris, a Comanche Nation member, but not a member of any tribe. The adoption of Depp's Comanche name, "Mah Woo May," which means shape shifter. Following this, critical reactions from the Native community have increased, including satirical portrayals of Depp by Native comedians. After being accused of societal exploitation and bigotry, a Depp and Native American photograph, which Dior's fragrance "Sauvage," was discontinued in 2019.

Personal life

Lori Anne Allison, a depp and makeup artist, were married from 1983 to 1985. He was engaged to actress Jennifer Grey and Sherilyn Fenn before he dated Edward Scissorhands co-star Winona Ryder on his right arm, which he later changed to "Winner Forever" in the late 1980s. He was in a relationship with English model Kate Moss between 1994 and 1998. Following his release from Moss, Depp began a friendship with French actress and singer Vanessa Paradis, whom he met while filming The Ninth Gate in France in 1998. They have two children, daughter Lily-Rose Melody Depp (born 1999) and a son, Jack (born 2002). In everything, Depp said that having children has given him a "true foundation, a real strong place to stand in life, and that he is unable to predict the deep love that results in children. There was no conscious decision in allowing fatherhood. It was part of a wonderful ride. It was destiny. "All the math finally worked." In June 2012, Depp and Paradis announced that they had split in June 2012.

Depp began dating actress Amber Heard, with whom he costarred in The Rum Diary (2011) after his break with Vanessa Paradis. In February 2015, Depp and Heard were married in a civil ceremony. Heard applied for divorce in May 2016 and received a provisional restraining order against Depp, claiming she had been verbally and physically threatening throughout their marriage, usually when under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Depp denied these allegations and said she was "attempting to obtain a prompt financial resolution." In August 2016, a deal was reached, and the divorce was finalized in January 2017. Heard disregarded the restraining order, and they released a joint statement stating that their "intimate relationship was tense and volatile, but that love was still bound by love." Both sides have made inaccurate claims of financial gain. There was never any intention of physical or emotional harm." Depp paid Heard a US$7 million divorce settlement, which she promised to give to the ACLU and Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA).

"How Can J K Rowling be "genuinely happy" casting wife beater Johnny Depp in the forthcoming Fantastic Beasts film in the United Kingdom in 2018? In July 2020, the trial was a highly publicized lawsuit, with Depp and Heard testifying for several days. The High Court of Justice found that 12 of Heard's 14 incidents of violence were "completely true" in November 2019. The court dismissed Depp's allegations as a hoax and found that the allegations against Depp had harmed her career and activism. Following the decision, Depp resigned from the Fantastic Beasts franchise after being asked to do so by its production company, Warner Bros.

Depp appealed the decision, with his lawyers arguing that Heard did not keep the charity pledge and that the promise had profoundly influenced the judge's opinion of Heard. In response, Heard's legal team said she had not contributed the full amount due to the deposition of Depp's case. The Court of Appeal dismissed Depp's bid to reverse the decision in March 2021. The Court of Appeal rejected the contention that the charity pledge influenced the decision, as the judge in the trial had reached their decision by reviewing the evidence relating to the 14 suspected crimes of violence; the donation was not involved in the investigation, but a comment made after the verdict had already been reached.

In February 2019, Depp sued Heard for defamation in connection with a December 2018 op-ed for The Washington Post. The litigation, which culminated in Depp's deposition, included three defamatory allegations: first, its headline, "Amber Heard: I spoke out against sexual abuse and confronted our culture's wrath," the defamatory remarks on the op-ed. "I became a public figure defending domestic violence two years ago, and I felt the full force of our culture's wrath for women who speak out," Heard's remarks; third: "I had the rare vantage point of seeing how organizations shield men accused of violence in real time." Depp argued that he was the one who was assaulted by Heard and that his allegations were a hoax, and that, as a result, Disney did not want to cast him in future projects.

Heard counterdeputied Depp in August 2020, alleging that he orchestrated "a harassment campaign on Twitter and [by] orchestrating online petitions in an attempt to get her fired from Aquaman and L'Oreal." Heard's counter-suit came to a conclusion over three charges that Depp defamed by his words in the media, including a "sexual harassment sting" against Depp, according to Depp's second, Waldman said that after "at a penthouse, he and her allies spent a little wine and yelled the place up, his sister and his friend, Adam Waldman, said a second call to 911 had been "abuse hoax" against Depp,

In October 2020, the judge dismissed Depp's counsel Adam Waldman after he leaked classified information covered by a protective order to the media. Following the trial in Depp's case against The Sun next month, Heard's lawyers filed to have the defamation case dismissed, but judge Penny Azcarate refused to hear it because Heard was not a defendant in the UK case. A New York judge ordered that the ACLU have to hand over information relating to Heard's charitable contribution to the group in August 2021.

The Depp-Heard trial in Fairfax County, Virginia, dated from April 11, 2022, to June 1, 2022. The jury found that all three Heard's op-ed predictions were inaccurate, defamed Depp, and made with apparent malice, so the jury awarded Depp $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages. Due to a limit set by a Virginia state statute, the punitive damages were reduced to $350,000. The jury found that Waldman's first and third comments to the Daily Mail were not defamatory, not defamatory, and that his second remark to the Daily Mail was inaccurate, defamatory, and made with actual malice. Heard received $2 million in compensatory damages and zero in punitive damages from Depp as a result.

Depp responded to the verdict by announcing that the "jury gave me my life back." "I am truly humbled." "Overwhelmed" by love's outpouring of love and the colossal love and kindness from around the world, Depp said. "I hope that my quest to have the truth be told" has inspired those, men or women, who have been in my situation, and that those who support them never give up." Depp also praised the Judge's "incredible and unwavering legal team" for "an extraordinary career" for "an extraordinary career."

After the police were ordered to put an raucous party in his hotel room, Depp was arrested in Vancouver in 1989 for assaulting a security guard. He was also arrested in New York City in 1994 after causing significant harm to his room at The Mark Hotel, where he was staying with Kate Moss, his mother. Since he promised to pay US$9,767 in damages, the charges were dropped against him. When dining in London with Paradis, Depp was arrested again in 1999 for brawling with paparazzi outside a restaurant.

Robin Eckert, a UCLA medical professor, sacked Depp and three security companies in 2012 after being roughed up by his bodyguards at a concert in Los Angeles in 2011. During the assault, she was allegedly handcuffed and pulled 40 feet across the floor, resulting in bruises, including a dislocated elbow. Eckert is suspected of triggering the assault, according to Depp's attorneys, who were "consented to any assault and battery." Depp, despite being his security guards' direct manager, did nothing to prevent the assault, according to Ekert's legal papers. According to TMZ, Depp settled with Eckert for an undisclosed sum before the trial began.

Amber Heard, Depp's second-wife, breached Australia's biosecurity legislation when she refused to register their two dogs to the customs when they landed in Queensland, where he was filming. Heard pleaded guilty to falsifying quarantine records, claiming she had made a mistake due to sleep deprivation. She was placed on a $1,000 per month basis for delivering a false document; Heard and Depp also released a video in which they apologized for their behavior and encouraged people to adhere to the biosecurity laws. The case was described by the Guardian as the "most high-profile criminal quarantine case" in Australian history.

In March 2016, Depp dissolved his relationship with his management company, The Management Group (TMG), and sued them in January 2017 for allegedly misusing his money and leaving him with more than $100,000 in debt. Depp was blamed for his own financial mismanagement, according to TMG, who sued him for unpaid fees. In a related lawsuit, Depp sued his advocates, Bloom Hergott, in January 2017. Both cases were settled, the former in 2018 and the latter in 2019.

In 2018, two of Depp's former bodyguards sued him for unpaid wages and unsafe working conditions. In 2019, the case was settled.

Depp was also sued in 2018 for allegedly hitting and verbally insulting a crew member while under the influence of alcohol on the setting of City of Lies. Depp never touched the [crew member]," a lawyer for Depp told the media, but Depp's legal team filed a court suit that denied that Depp attacked the crew member, although Depp's legal team did not admit to it, but said the crew member "provoked" the incident with "unlawful and unlawful conduct," causing Depp and film producer Brad Furman to fear for their safety. Depp did not assault the crew member, only scolded him, according to a film script supervisor. A preliminary deal regarding the dismissal of the claim between Depp and the crew member was reached before the trial was heard.

For the most part of his life, Depp has suffered with alcoholism and heroin. He began using opioids at the age of 11, was smoking at age 12, and by the age of 14, he had used "every kind of drugs there were." Depp admitted to using alcohol during the filming of What's Eating Gilbert Grape? (1993) Ancestral (1996) In a 2008 interview, Depp said he had "poisoned" himself with alcohol "for years." In 2013, Depp said he had quit drinking alcohol and that he "probably got everything [he] could get out of it"; Depp later said, "I investigated wine and spirits thoroughly, and they did, as well; we found out that we got along fine, but perhaps too well." Depp said he would not be relying on the drink to ease things, cushion the blow, or cushion the situation because it could have been lethal."

After bingeing on drugs and alcohol during their marriage between 2013 and 2016, Depp "plunged into the depths of chaos and violence," according to his ex-wife Amber Heard. In a 2018 Rolling Stone profile of Depp, reporter Stephen Rodrick claimed that he had used hashish in his presence and referred to him as "alternatively funny, sly, and incoherent"; Depp also said that the accusation made by his former business executives that he had spent more than $100,000 per month on wine was "insulting" because he had spent "far more" than that amount. Depp confessed to being addicted to Roxicodone and alcohol, as well as other drugs like MDMA and cocaine during his Heard's relationship.

In November 2016, Depp became a member of the campaign for Art to demand the release of Ukrainian filmmaker Oleg Sentsov, who was detained in Russia, on Sunday.

"When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?" Depp, a critic of President Donald Trump, asked at the Glastonbury Festival in 2017. I want to clarify: I am not an actor. I work for a living. However, it's been a long time, and it could have been a long time," says the author. "I'm not insinuating anything," he said. The remark was mistook it for John Wilkes Booth, the actor who assassinated Abraham Lincoln. Shawn Holtzc law told CNN that they were aware of Depp's remarks but that "for safety reasons, we are unable to discuss specifically nor in general terms the means and methods of how we carry out our security duties." Depp apologized shortly afterward, saying that the comment "did not come out as expected" and that "I intended no regret."

Career

When he was 20 years old, Depp and his band migrated to Los Angeles. Lori Ann Allison, Depp's then-wife, introduced him to actor Nicolas Cage after the band split up. Cage encouraged him to continue acting after they became drinking buddies. Since reading a biography of James Dean and watching Rebel Without a Cause, Depp had been keen on acting. Depp helped Depp get an audition with Wes Craven on Elm Street; Depp, who had no acting experience, said he "ended up acting by accident." Depp was chosen to play the main character's boyfriend, one of Freddy Krueger's victims, thanks in large part to his seeing the eye of Craven's daughter.

Despite Depp's assertion that he "didn't have the ambition to be an actor," he continued to be cast in films, earning enough to pay some bills that his musical career went unpaid. After a leading role in the 1985 comedy Private Resort, Depp was cast in the lead role in the 1986 skating drama Thrashin' by the film's director, but the film's producer overruled the decision. In Instead, Depp appeared in a minor supporting role in Oliver Stone's 1986 Vietnam War drama Platoon, as a Vietnamese-speaking private. He made a name for himself in the late 1980s, when he appeared as an undercover police officer in a high school operation in Fox's 21 Jump Street, which premiered in 1987. He accepted this role to work with actor Frederic Forrest, who inspired him. Despite his triumph, Depp said that the series "pushed [him] into the role of product."

Depp began playing more interesting roles than those he imagined would do well at the box office, disillusioned by his youth idol experience in 21 Jump Street. Cry-Baby, John Waters' first film release in 1990, was a musical comedy set in the 1950s. Although it was not a box-office hit right away, over the years it has risen to cult classic status. In Tim Burton's romantic fantasy film Edward Scissorhands opposite Dianne Wiest and Winona Ryder, Depp appeared as the title character in 1990. With a domestic gross of $53 million, the film was a commercial and critical success. In preparation for the role, Depp watched many Charlie Chaplin films to see how to generate sympathy without talking. Rolling Stone's Peter Travers praised Depp's performance, writing that he "artfully articulates the longing in gentle Edward"; "it's a brilliant display," she wrote, while Rita Kempley of The Washington Post wrote that "brings the eloquence of the silent period to this area of few words," referring to the eloquent black eyes and his tremulous care with which he holds his terrified hands." Depp received his first Golden Globe Award for the film.

Except for a brief appearance in Freddy's Dead (1991), the sixth installment of the A Nightmare on Elm Street series, Depp had no film releases in the next two years. In 1993, he appeared in three films. He played an eccentric and illiterate silent film fan who befriends a physically ill woman and her brother in Benny and Joon; it became a sleeper hit. According to Janet Maslin of The New York Times, Depp "may look nothing like Buster Keaton," but "there are times when he genuinely appears to be the Great Stone Face," bringing Keaton's demeanor and magically to life." Depp received his second Golden Globe award for his work. What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Lasse Hallström's second film of 1993, was a film about a dysfunctional family starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Juliette Lewis. It did not do well commercially, but critics gave it encouraging reports. Although the majority of the reports were focused on DiCaprio, who was nominated for an Academy Award for his work, Variety's Todd McCarthy wrote, "Depp commands center screen with a very affable, appealing characterization." Emir Kusturica's surrealist comedy-drama Arizona Dream, Depp's last 1993 film debut, attracted critical attention and gained the Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival.

Depp reunited with Burton in 1994, playing the title role in Ed Wood, a biographical film about one of history's most inept film directors. Later, Depp said he was devastated by films and filmmaking at the time, but that "within ten minutes of learning about it, I was committed." He found that working with Martin Landau, who played Bela Lugosi, "rejuvenated my love for acting." Despite the fact that it didn't earn back its production costs, Ed Wood received a warm reception from reviewers, with Maslin's comment that Depp had "proved himself as an established, accredited genius actor" and "captured all the can-do enthusiasm that kept Ed Wood alive thanks to his ability to spy at the silver lining of any cloud. For his appearance, Depp was nominated for a third time for a Best Musical or Comedy Actor Golden Globe.

In three films over the next year, Depp appeared in three films. In the box-office hit Don Juan DeMarco as a man who believes he is Don Juan, the world's best lover, he appeared opposite Marlon Brando. He appeared in Jim Jarmusch's Dead Man, a Western shot entirely in black-and-white; it was not a commercial success and had mixed critical evaluations. Depp played an accountant who is told not to kill a politician in order to save his kidnapped daughter, who is also in the financial and emotional crucible.

Depp and Al Pacino appeared in the crime drama Donnie Brasco, directed by Mike Newell in 1997. Joseph D. Pistone, an undercover FBI agent who assumes the name Donnie Brasco, was able to infiltrate the Mafia in New York City. Depp spent time with Pistone on whose memoirs the film was based to prepare. Donnie Brasco was a commercial and critical success, and is considered one of Depp's finest performances. Depp debuted with The Brave in 1997 as a producer and screenwriter. He appeared in it as a struggling Native American man who accepts a bid from a wealthy man played by Marlon Brando in exchange for money for his family. It premiered at the 1997 Cannes Film Festival in general to mostly critical feedback. "It's a turgid and stunning neo-western," Variety called it, "the course has two significant shortcomings: it's both tediously slow and narcissistic as the camera focuses constantly on Depp's bandana's head and rippling torso." Depp did not announce The Brave in the United States due to the reviews.

In Fear and Loathing, Terry Gilliam's film adaptation of Thompson's pseudo-biographical book of the same name, Depp was a fan and acquaintance of writer Hunter S. Thompson. It was a box-office failure and polarized protesters. Depp appeared in Mika Kaurismäki's L.A. later this year. (1998)) There is no such thing as a Map.

The third installment of Burton's version of Sleepy Hollow, in which Depp played Ichabod Crane opposite Christina Ricci and Christopher Walken. "I always thought of Ichabod as a very delicate, fragile individual with a little too in touch with his feminine side, like a frightened little girl," Depp inspired for his appearance. Sleepy Hollow was a commercial and cultural success.

The Man Who Cried (2000), Sally Potter's directed by Sally Potter and starring him as a Roma horseman opposite Christina Ricci, Cate Blanchett, and John Turturro was Depp's first film film release of the new millennium. It wasn't a critical success. In Julian Schnabel's critically acclaimed Before Night Falls (2000), Depp appeared in several films. Hallström's last film of 2000 was his critically and commercially successful Chocolat, in which he played a Roma man and Juliette Binoche's love interest. Both Depp's next roles were based on historical figures. George Jung, a cocaine smuggler who was part of the Medell'n Cartel in the 1980s, appeared in Blow (2001). The film did not do well at the box office and got mixed feedback. In Depp's comic book adaptation From Hell (2001), the inspector Frederick Abberline who investigated the Jack the Ripper murders in London in the 1880s. Mixed reviews were also received, but the film was a moderate commercial success.

Depp appeared in the Walt Disney Pictures adventure film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, which was a huge box office hit in 2003. He received numerous accolades for his comic appearance as pirate Captain Jack Sparrow, as well as a MTV Movie Award for Best Actor. Sparrow is "definitely a part of me," Depp said, and that he modeled the character after Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards and cartoon skunk Pepé Le Pew. Studio managers had been ambivalent about Depp's portrayal at first, but the role became increasingly popular with audiences. Depp played a corrupt CIA agent in Robert Rodriguez' second film, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, a corrupt CIA agent. It was a moderately successful box-office, with Depp's contribution in particular lauded.

The Earl of Rochester and poet Depp appeared in the British-Australian independent film The Libertine (2004), which was released around the same time. It was only available on the internet and had mostly critical feedback.

M. Barrie. In addition, Depp appeared in the French film Happily Ever After (2004) and founded Infinitum Nihil, a Warner Bros. Pictures.

In which Depp voiced Victor Van Dort, the main character, the Chocolate Factory was followed by another Burton venture, stop-motion animation Corpse Bride (2004). In the Pirates sequels Dead Man's Chest (2006) and At World's End (2007), Depp reprised the role of Jack Sparrow, both of whom were big box office successes.

According to a survey conducted by Fandango, Depp in the role of Jack Sparrow, many cinemagoers want to see a Pirates film.

In 2007, Depp co-produced their sixth film together, this time portraying murderous barber Sweeney Todd in the musical Sweeney Todd (2007). As his main influence on the role, Depp cited Peter Lorre's performance in Mad Love (1935), in which Lorre played a "creepy but sympathetic" surgeon. Depp was required to sing in Sweeney Todd, the first film in which Depp had been required to perform. Rather than recruiting a qualified vocal coach, Bruce Witkin prepared for the position by recording demos with his old bandmate Bruce Witkin. The film was a commercial and critical success. "Depp's soaring voice makes you wonder what other tricks he's hiding," Entertainment Weekly's Chris Nashawaty said. It's difficult not to remember Edward Scissorhands frantically shaping hedges into animal topiaries 18 years ago... and much of the twisted beauty we would have missed out on if [Burton and Depp] never met." For the third time for an Academy Award, Depp was nominated for the Golden Globe for Best Musical or Comedy Actor for the role.

In Michael Mann's 1930s crime film Public Enemies, Depp portrayed real-life gangster John Dillinger. It was commercially successful and received moderately favorable feedback. In his review, Roger Ebert said, "This Johnny Depp show is something else." For the first time, an actor playing a gangster does not appear to base his character on movies he has seen. He goes cold right away. He pretends he is playing Dillinger as a fact." The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, Depp's second film of 2009, reunites him with director Terry Gilliam. Both Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell played the character who had been first introduced by their friend Heath Ledger, who had died before the film was finished. Matilda, Ledger's daughter, gave the three actors their paychecks.

Depp began with a new friendship with Tim Burton, Alice in Wonderland (2010), in which he appeared in the Mad Hatter opposite Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway, and Alan Rickman. Despite mixed critiques, it earned US$1.025 billion in the box office, making it the second-highest-grossing film of 2010 and one of the highest-grossing films of all time. The Tourist, Depp's second film release of 2010, was the romantic drama in which he starred opposite Angelina Jolie. It was commercially profitable, but critics chastised it. Despite this, he was named Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy Golden Globe nomination for both films.

The animated film Rango, Depp's first film release in 2011, was a lizard. It was a huge cultural and commercial success. On Stranger Tides, the fourth installment in the Pirates series, was also a box office hit, becoming the third-highest-grossing film of 2011. In 2011, Depp began a second project co-produced by his company Infinitum Nihil. Hunter S. Thompson's first film adaptation of the novel The Rum Diary starred Depp. It was unable to reduce its production costs and received mixed feedback. Martin Scorsese's Hugo (2011), the company's second venture, received major critical acclaim and several awards nominations, but the box office did not do well. In 2011, Depp appeared in the Adam Sandler film Jack and Jill for a brief period.

Depp, one of the world's best-paid actors, was listed as the world's highest-paid actor by 2012, earning over $75 million. Peter DeLuise and Holly Robinson, co-stars on 21 Jump Street, reprised their roles in cameo appearances in the series's home movie version this year. With Tim Burton's latest film, Dark Shadows (2012), Depp co-produced and coproduced his eighth film with him, including Helena Bonham Carter, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Eva Green. The film was based on a 1960s Gothic television soap opera of the same name, and it had been one of his childhood favorites. Depp's star appeal was put into doubt by the film's poor reception in the United States.

Infinitum Nihil's contract with WB ended in 2011, Depp signed a multi-year first-look contract with Walt Disney Studios, and the company's Infinitum Nihil's contract with them came to an end. The Lone Ranger (2013), Depp's first film in which Depp appeared as Tonto, was the first film made in the partnership. Depp's portrayal as a Native American led to allegations of whitewashing, but the film was not well received by the public or analysts, causing Disney to lose $190 million. Depp appeared in the sci-fi thriller Transcendence (2014), which was also a commercial failure and garnered mainly critical feedback, after a brief cameo in the independent film Lucky Them (2013). In 2014, he appeared as The Wolf in Kevin Smith's musical adaptation Into the Woods, as a minor supporting actor, and in a more substantial role as an eccentric French-Canadian ex-detective in which he was credited to the character's name, Guy LaPointe.

Depp appeared in two films made by Infinitum Nihil in 2015. Mortdecai, a comedy-thriller, appeared opposite Gwyneth Paltrow in the first film. Both actors were nominated for the Golden Raspberry award, which was a critical and commercial disappointment. In which he played Boston crime boss Whitey Bulger, his second film, Black Mass (2015), was much appreciated. Critics from The Hollywood Reporter and Variety called it one of Depp's best shows to date, and Depp's third nomination for the Best Actor SAG award went to Depp. However, the film was unable to defray its production costs. Depp appeared in the critically panned London Fields starring his then-wife Amber Heard, but its general release was postponed by litigation until 2018. Dior, the French luxury fashion house, received Depp as the face of their men's fragrance, Sauvage, in addition to his work in film in 2015, and he was inducted as a Disney Legend.
