Johnny Depp Looks Happy As Ever Debuting New Clean Shaven Look

Publish date: 2024-04-25

On June 27, the Daily Mail published photos of Johnny Depp looking pleased as punch at the Paris airport. The smiling actor was spotted sans chin hair, but what he lacked in facial hair, he made up for with the long braids he was rocking. Depp looked the part of a troubadour in a fringe-trimmed suede jacket, fedora, and aviators. However, he was in the City of Lights to prepare for his role as a king.

Depp reportedly tried on some of the costumes for "Jeanne Du Barry," a movie about one of King Louis XV's mistresses, per Deadline. Depp will play the French monarch once known as Louis the Well-Beloved. However, he was a feckless ruler whose subjects eventually soured on him, per Britannica. Deadline reports the movie is being directed by French filmmaker Maiwenn, who will also play the titular role of the king's paramour. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Depp can speak French, but it remains to be seen if he will put that particular skill to use in the film.

It does look like the actor won't have to utilize his limited ability to grow facial hair, as paintings of King Louis XV show him with a bare chin. While Depp is known for his killer goatees, past attempts at sprouting a full beard were futile. "I grew about seven or eight hairs on this side and maybe about five over here," he said in a 2017 appearance on "The Graham Norton Show."
