• With the film “Jeanne du Barry”, US actor Johnny Depp (59) returns to the cinema screen.

• Photos from his appearance at the Cannes Film Festival recently showed how bad the actor’s dental care is.

• Sources close to him now reveal that he had to be dressed up for days for the performance and that he generally takes it easy with hygiene.

Johnny Depp’s appearance made headlines at the Cannes Film Festival – but not with his role in the opening film “Jeanne du Barry”, but much more because of his obviously poor dental care. Photos in which the 59-year-old reveals his teeth with a wide smile are rare. But when they become visible, the enormous discolouration is noticeable. Fans comment on Twitter that Depp’s teeth are “rotting”. Now an insider unpacks the background and reveals how complex the preparations were.

“In order for him to even walk the red carpet, he had to be washed and dressed up,” the unspecified source told Page Six. This all happened at the posh JW Marriott Hotel on the Boulevard de la Croisette in Cannes. In order to make the “notoriously dingy superstar” suitable for the public, a whole “team of highly paid professionals” was needed behind the scenes.

Another person confirmed the information to the outlet, adding that he had had his longtime stylist, Samantha McMillen, do his hair all week before his performance. Finally, Johnny Depp stepped out in front of the photographers in a custom-tailored tuxedo by Dior designer Kim Jones.

Complaints about his body odor

The fact that the “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor takes it easy with hygiene is no longer a secret in Hollywood. As early as 2010, an insider complained in an interview with the TV station Fox about Depp’s strong body odor.

‘Johnny smells anything but good. That’s because he almost never takes a shower,” the source is quoted as saying. In an interview at the annual beauty awards ceremony, the showbiz giant defended himself: “It’s not all true. When I met people, they said to me: You look like a bum. But you smell really good. And yes, dammit, I smell really good.”

Johnny Depp doesn’t need Hollywood anymore

Apparently, the actor these days doesn’t seem to care as much about how he is received by the audience. He no longer needs Hollywood, as he explained at the press conference in Cannes. In “Jeanne du Barry” Depp plays King Louis XV. It is his first film since the lawsuit with his ex-wife Amber Heard (37). He had accused her in a defamation lawsuit last year that he had lost engagements because of her allegations of violence. As a result of the trial, he was asked to step out of the «Harry Potter» spin-off «Fantastic Beasts». In the end, the court largely sided with him: Heard was sentenced to $10 million in damages and Depp to $2 million.

The public mud fight has apparently left its mark. Now he is no longer interested in studio projects, Depp told the press. “I don’t feel boycotted by Hollywood because I don’t think about Hollywood. I don’t need Hollywood anymore.” This attitude was also reflected in the fact that Depp showed up late for the press conference. According to him, because he was stuck in traffic. The rest of the film team headed by director Maïwenn was there a good half hour earlier to take photos and answer initial questions.
