Johnny Depp made a splash at the Cannes Film Festival in France, where he attended to promote his new movie Jeanne Du Barry.
However, it wasn't his upcoming project that caught social media users' attention.
Instead, fans were shocked by the appearance of Depp's severely discolored teeth.
Rare photos of the 59-year-old actor showed him flashing a cheerful smile for the camera while dressed in a suit for the event.
Upon closer inspection, viewers couldn't help but notice the apparent decay of his teeth.
Social media was abuzz with comments about Depp's dental condition.
“Johnny Depp's teeth are literally ROTTING,” one person tweeted alongside close-up pictures of his mouth.
Another sarcastically snubbed his new movie's score, comparing it to the yellow hue of his teeth.
A third person simply declared, “his teeth are absolutely disgusting, it's gotta smell so bad in there ew.”
Despite the criticism, some fans came to Depp's defense.
One supporter pointed out that considering his age and the challenges he has faced, his teeth aren't that bad.
Another defended him by attributing his dental issues to factors such as alcohol, cigarettes, and aging, emphasizing that it is nothing out of the ordinary.
However, there were still admirers who couldn't understand the obsession with criticizing Depp's appearance.
They insisted that if he doesn't want ultra-white false teeth, then he shouldn't feel pressured to have them.
Amidst the scrutiny over his teeth, Depp received a warm welcome from the festival attendees.
This year's event marked his return to the spotlight after a controversial trial with his ex-wife, Amber Heard.
Depp graciously stopped to sign autographs and take selfies with fans as he made his way into the theater.
An enthusiastic admirer even shouted “go Johnny!”
as he walked past.
Thierry Fremaux, the chief of the Cannes Film Festival, addressed the public's mixed feelings towards Depp.
He stated that he was not aware of the image of Depp in the U.S., but emphasized the importance of freedom of thought, speech, and acting within a legal framework.
Despite the attention drawn to his dental dilemma, Depp continues to make waves in the film industry.
While his teeth may have caused a stir, it is clear that his talent and presence captured the hearts of those in attendance at the festival.
