Johnny Depp is making news at the Cannes Film Festival, but not for the reasons he might have hoped. His new movie, Jeanne Du Barry, premiered on May 16th, but it was Depp’s appearance that stole the spotlight—specifically, his teeth.
The 59-year-old actor, known for his roles in *Pirates of the Caribbean* and *Sweeney Todd*, has kept a low profile since his 2022 legal victory over ex-wife Amber Heard. He has been spending time at his large estate in Somerset, England. However, he decided to attend the Cannes Film Festival for his film’s premiere.
Unfortunately, Depp’s teeth have become a major topic online, with fans expressing shock and disappointment. Some even compared his look to that of rock musician Ozzy Osbourne. Comments on social media have been harsh, with some fans saying they are “disgusted” by how Depp looks. It seems Depp’s appearance at Cannes is getting more attention than his movie.

Fans have been reacting strongly to Johnny Depp’s appearance on social media, especially his teeth. Some people are shocked and unhappy about how his teeth look in photos from the Cannes Film Festival.
One Twitter user wrote, “Johnny Depp’s teeth are literally ROTTING,” and shared a close-up picture of his teeth. Another person asked, “Why do I have to see close-up pics of Johnny Depp’s teeth against my will?” A third critic said, “Johnny Depp just looks like someone grabbed his teeth and painted them black.”
Many fans expressed their disappointment, with one saying, “Seeing that pic of Johnny Depp’s teeth on my timeline just ruined my mood. That’s enough Twitter for me.” Another joked, “Well, at least he’s committed to staying in character for his next pirate movie.” One person even commented, “This should be considered bacterial biological warfare,” while others speculated that his long-term smoking might be the cause, with one user writing, “Dude has been a tobacco smoker for his entire adult life so not surprising.”

Johnny Depp received a standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival, despite some criticism about his teeth. After the premiere of his French biographical drama, Depp was applauded for seven minutes. Reports say he was moved to tears by the response.
While some fans commented negatively on social media about his teeth, many others defended him. On an Instagram post from OK! Magazine, fans showed their support. One wrote, “Jeez, negative trolling—give the guy a break after all he’s been through.” Another said, “Still love Johnny Depp,” with a hand-praising emoji. Fans also praised Depp as a “wonderful talented actor” and a “great man, great father, and amazing actor,” reminding others that he’s been through a lot and deserves respect.
The mom who stabbed her baby to death is found dead in prison
Six years into her 17-year-long sentence for stabbing her baby with a pair of scissors, Rachel Tunstill dies in prison.
Back in 2017, she stabbed her baby girl, Mia Kelly, more than 15 times in the bathroom of their Burnley home and threw her lifeless body in a bin.
Tunstill was initially convicted of murder and handed a life sentence with minimum term of 20 years, but a re-trial proved the jury in the case should have been offered a verdict of infanticide to consider. During the re-trial she was once again convicted of murder and put behind bars for a minimum of 17 years.
“HMP Styal prisoner Rachel Tunstill died in custody on 1 August 2023. As with all deaths in custody, the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman will investigate,” a spokesperson from the Prison Service confirmed the news of her passing.

At the time she gave birth, her boyfriend was playing video games in the next room. She then told him she had a miscarriage and asked for the scissors after which she remorselessly stabbed the baby to death.
At the time of sentencing, the judge, Mr Justice King, said: “This must have been a sustained and frenzied attack on a victim who because of her age was particularly vulnerable. Her duty to her newborn baby was to cradle and comfort her – not to stab her to death.
“There was here in my judgement concealment of the body, albeit short-lived and in addition there was undoubtedly the indignity which was wrought upon the body by disposing of it in the way she did.”

Tunstill was a university master’s graduate in forensic psychology.
“She showed no emotion or remorse for stabbing her baby to death,” said Mr Justice King.
