Johnny Depp is once again commanding attention in front of the camera. The 63-year-old actor has taken part in a new advertising campaign for the Sauvage Extrait fragrance while his long-awaited return to Hollywood continues to gather momentum.
The luxury fashion house behind the campaign remained loyal to Depp throughout his highly publicized legal conflict with Amber Heard. At a time when Hollywood studios were distancing themselves from the actor, the company chose to maintain their partnership.
Their professional relationship continued after the courtroom battle. In May 2023, following Depp’s legal victory, the actor signed a new three-year deal reportedly worth more than $20 million.
Depp and Heard, who is 22 years younger than the Pirates of the Caribbean star, married in February 2015. Their marriage ended after just 15 months, followed by a bitter divorce and allegations of domestic violence from both sides. Depp later won the widely followed 2022 defamation trial.
In the aftermath, both stars effectively moved away from Hollywood. Depp concentrated on European film projects, while his personal life also made headlines because of his relationship with Russian model Yulia Vlasova.
Heard chose a different path, settling in Spain with her daughter Oonagh Paige. She later welcomed twins Agnes and Ocean and has kept the identities of her children’s fathers private.
Depp’s career is now entering another chapter. In July, the first trailer for Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol, based on Charles Dickens’ story, appeared online. Eight years after his so-called cancellation, Depp is returning to Hollywood in the role of the famously miserly Ebenezer Scrooge.
