Johnny Depp: Restart with his own castle and new look?

Johnny Depp (60) appeared in London on Monday in a new and somewhat unusual look. The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star walked the red carpet for the UK premiere of his film “Jeanne du Barry” in a serious black suit and tie. He wore a stylish gray coat over it. Johnny Depp had his hair slicked back. They are also cut significantly shorter than in the recent past.

In photos from the last few months, Depp wore his hair shoulder length. Pictures from the filming of his new directorial work “Modi” in Turin also showed him in his famous old rocker look, with a number of scarves and chains as decoration. But a film premiere is a special occasion. “Jeanne du Barry” opens in British cinemas on April 19th. From May 2nd it will also be shown in Depp’s home country, the USA. The historical film was shown in Germany last year.

In general, Johnny Depp looks fitter than he has in recent months, and the actor also seems to have lost some weight. He is currently living a healthier lifestyle than in the past. Friends of Depp are said to have told the British newspaper this. The American currently lives in London, where he is working on the editing of “Modi”.

Restart with a castle in Italy?

Johnny Depp generally seems to be aiming for a new start in Europe. Since the trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard (37), he has tended to be rather undesirable in the USA – although he won the trial against Heard for defamation. She had previously accused him of domestic violence.

After starring in the French film “Jeanne du Barry”, Johnny Depp worked as a director on “Modi”. In Turin, among other places, he shot the biopic about the Italian painter Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920). He apparently fell in love with a castle. He is said to have had his eye on the Castello di Montalto Dora between Turin and Milan. The 12th century castle is said to cost $4 million. The property is around 2,044 square meters in size and has eleven bedrooms.

Residents apparently aren’t keen on Depp as a neighbor

But the residents of Montalto Dora are not said to be happy about a Hollywood star in their neighborhood. “A star buying a historical monument like the Montalto Dora Castle would bring a lot of attention to the area,” said Mayor Renzo Galletto. “But we are not sure if that would be the right economic synergy for the municipality,” he said Head of the 3,000-soul community.

Since the castle is part of the Italian cultural heritage, Johnny Depp would have to comply with various requirements. According to TMZ, he is said to be willing to do so, as a source close to the actor said.
