Johnny Depp has once again captured the spotlight, but this time, it’s not just for his acting—his bold new appearance has fans buzzing. The 61-year-old actor recently debuted a striking silver-haired and bearded look in a promotional image for his upcoming thriller, Day Drinker, shared by Lionsgate on Instagram.
In the photo, Depp sports a sleek navy blazer over a blue button-up shirt, accessorized only with a golden ring. His hair, pulled back with a few loose strands, reveals a distinguished salt-and-pepper shade, while his piercing gaze—enhanced by what some fans suspect are blue contact lenses—adds to his enigmatic charm. Leaning against a granite bar with a glass of ice in hand, Depp looks every bit the sophisticated yet mysterious character he’s set to portray.
The reaction from fans was immediate and overwhelmingly positive. Many praised his embrace of gray hair, with one admirer writing, “Johnny looks incredible with silver hair—it suits him so well! This might be his best look yet!” Others were so taken aback that they barely recognized him, with comments like, “Wait, is that really Johnny Depp? He looks completely different!”
However, not everyone was sold on the transformation. Some fans questioned his eye color, debating whether the light-blue hue was natural or the result of contacts. “The eyes are throwing me off—still handsome, though!” one fan remarked. Another joked, “Did Johnny raid the costume department for those peepers?”
Day Drinker reunites Depp with his Pirates of the Caribbean and Murder on the Orient Express co-star Penélope Cruz, alongside a talented ensemble including Madelyn Cline and Manu Ríos. Directed by Mark Webb, the film is set in Spain and promises to be a gripping thriller.
This isn’t the first time Depp’s appearance has sparked debate. Last year, at the Rome Film Festival, his disheveled curls and bohemian-style suit drew mixed reactions. While some fans adored his signature eccentricity, others criticized his unkempt hair, with one blunt comment reading, “Johnny, please wash your hair!”
Still, many defended the actor, pointing out that his unique style has always been part of his charm. “He’s Johnny Depp—he doesn’t follow trends, he sets them,” one supporter wrote.
Beyond his looks, Depp continues to engage warmly with fans. During a recent visit to a café in the Bahamas, he happily posed for photos and even joked about copyrighting a bartender’s special drink. Observant fans also noticed his noticeably whiter, straighter teeth—sparking speculation about dental work. “Whatever he did, it’s working—he looks fantastic!” one fan commented.
From his early days as Captain Jack Sparrow to his latest transformation, Johnny Depp remains one of Hollywood’s most captivating stars. Whether he’s rocking silver hair, blue eyes, or his signature bohemian flair, one thing’s for sure—he’ll always keep us guessing.
