Johnny Depp has undergone a radical mid-life transformation – totally making himself over as he approaches his 61st birthday.
Earlier this year, the actor cut a distinctly bohemian figure.
In February, in Turin, Italy – where he is directing his new film ‘Modi’, about the artist Modigliani – he was pictured wearing a rasta beanie, a camo jacket complete with a Che Guevara patch, and hair so long that it spilled below shoulder length.
He has since had a very respectable make-over. Exclusive pictures show him arriving on Monday night at the small UK movie premiere of ‘Jeanne Du Barry’.
Depp – who has clearly lost a considerable amount of weight – wore a slim-fitting Dior suit and had his hair trimmed short.

Friends of the Hollywood star, who turns 61 in June, confide that he has been living in London for a period and that the city is suiting him.
One says: ‘He’s been living in the UK while editing Modi, and has been living a cleaner lifestyle than at times in the past.’
I’m told that the long hair came off around a fortnight ago – in advance of Depp filming another advertising campaign for Dior. (He is the face of their best-selling fragrance, Sauvage.)
Depp plays Louis XV in ‘Jeanne Du Barry’, and speaks in French in the picture. The film is out in the UK on Friday and released in America next month. It was premiered at the Cannes Film Festival last May.
Back then, Depp decried talk of his ‘comeback’.
Asked whether he felt ‘boycotted by Hollywood’ following domestic abuse allegations made against him by his ex-wife Amber Heard, he said her claims were ‘just vowels and consonants floating in the air.’

‘It’s almost like I need to comeback and do a tap dance and dance my best for you guys, and hope you approve,’ he said.
‘I didn’t come back from anywhere,’ he added. ‘I didn’t go anywhere.’
In 2022, Depp won a blockbuster US trial against Heard, with the court finding that she had defamed him when she alleged domestic abuse.
A previous libel trial, against The Sun newspaper which had called him a ‘wife beater’, ended in defeat for Depp in 2020.
