Johnny Depp will return to theaters this fall in the sequel to Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, but the star is making headlines for a different reason to kick off June. A series of photos that made their way to Instagram showing Depp looking thin and “ill” have his fans questioning his health according to The Hollywood Reporter:
Depp posed with fans at a Four Seasons hotel in St. Petersburg, Russia, last week, looking visibly thinner than in previous appearances.
“I think my hero looks ill,” one user commented on Facebook of the shared fan photo.
Other comments included, “He looks thin” and “F-k me is that Johnny Depp?”
The photos in question soon spread across social media after the originals had been deleted, showing Depp posing by himself and then with a fan. One that remains from a week ago still shows the Pirates of the Caribbean star looking very thin:
The fan concern follows a year of legal disputes for Depp, including his high-profile divorce from Amber Heard and a lawsuit against his own management company over millions of dollars in loans and investments given without permission. THR adds that Depp’s latest projects, City of Lies and Richard Says Goodbye, are currently in post-production.
Representatives for Depp haven’t responded to requests for comment on the issue.
