Recently, a Johnny Depp fan shared images and videos of the actor showcasing how much his teeth have improved—a phenomenon that had previously frightened many of his admirers.
The post was originally written by a bartender who works at Lorraine’s Cafe & High Tide in the Bahamas and goes by the social media handle @killerbartender.
Depp’s most recent video captured the attention of viewers, particularly because it contrasted his previously shattered teeth sharply with a healthier-looking smile. In the videos, Depp appears to be sampling one of the bartender’s creations. After becoming impressed with the drink, the actor gave the bartender a humorous piece of advise, saying, “You better copyright this immediately.”
In the video, Depp was additionally shown in front of a painting that portrayed him as the well-known Captain Jack Sparrow from “Pirates of the Caribbean.”
As the post quickly gained traction, many admirers complimented the actor’s better appearance, especially his teeth.
“He undoubtedly underwent dental work! He looks great,” a follower remarked, expressing what many others have also thought.
Another fan remarked, “Is it just me, or do his teeth look straighter?”
Likewise, one person remarked that his teeth appeared “brighter than ever.”
An Instagram user perfectly captured the emotion when they posted, “Hello new teeth! He looks great:).
Several people speculated on X (now Twitter) that Depp’s current denture use could be the outcome of previous dental issues.
Since it is evident that Johnny Depp’s natural teeth are missing, he currently wears dentures. “Or he probably got a tooth infection and had them all pulled,” one person speculated as to why his smile had changed.
In the initial video that @killerbartender shared, Depp was having dinner with pals when he stopped to snap photos with two fans in front of the artwork featuring Captain Jack Sparrow.
Rap Rap Bartender Zoilo posted a second, longer video of his late-night rendezvous with the star in Exuma that he had taped. In the footage, Zoilo is seen shaking hands multiple times with the 61-year-old actor while he converses with other patrons. Zoilo stated his happiness over meeting the Hollywood icon for a “once-in-a-lifetime moment.”
The debate over Depp’s dental work is not new. When images of his teeth deteriorated during his presence at the Cannes Film Festival appeared in May 2023, fans voiced their concerns.
At the time, others expressed their worries on social media; one user said, “Johnny Depp’s teeth are literally rotting away.” This remark was made in response to a photo of the actor that was taken at the 76th Cannes Film Festival in France. In the photo, the actor was promoting “Jeanne du Barry,” and it was clear that his teeth were discolored and brown.
It’s noteworthy to note that Depp’s dental choices have generated discussion in the past. In 2003, while getting ready for the role, Depp seized the chance to get gold crowns placed on his front teeth in order to accurately capture the essence of Captain Jack Sparrow.
Disney officials and producer Jerry Bruckheimer were shocked by his choice because they had first expressed concerns about the image. “Jerry was a little uncomfortable, and the Disney executives weren’t exactly enthusiastic about it,” Depp stated in an interview with the “Los Angeles Times.”
“Look, these are the choices I made,” he informed them, but he didn’t waver in his choice. You know what I’ve done. Therefore, you can either believe me or let me go. Thankfully, they didn’t. Fortunately, they chose to trust him. Depp gave up and removed a few of the gold caps as a concession, but his commitment to the role had a big impact on his iconic portrayal of the outlaw pirate.
