Johnny Depp was spotted rocking a new set of braids in his hair, while he was preparing to film Jeanne du Barry. The actor was seen with a new hairstyle walking around in Paris in new photos taken on June 18. He rocked a stylish jacket with some tassels hanging off of it, as well as a matching hat, plus a black pair of pants and dress shoes. He also carried a suitcase and a scarf in one of his hands.
The film Jeanne du Barry in which he will play 18th Century French monarch Louis XV, is still in pre-production and doesn’t have a set release date yet. It will be directed by and star Maïwenn as the title character and stars include Pierre Richard and Noemie Lvovsky. The description for the film says, “The life of Jeanne Bécu who was born as the illegitimate daughter of an impoverished seamstress in 1743 and went on to rise through the Court of Louis XV to become his last official mistress,” per IMDb.
This movie is expected to be Johnny’s first starring role after winning the trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard earlier in June.
Johnny with his band the Hollywood Vampires also announced a Europe tour for next summer, the supergroup include rockstars Alice Cooper, Joe Perry and Tommy Henriksen. The tour of six date run shows are at Rudolf-Weber Arena in Oberhausen, Germany, Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg’s Rockhal; Olympiahalle in Munich; Stadtpark in Hamburg; Berlin’s Zitadelle Spandel; and Zitadelle Mainz in Mainz, Germany.
Johnny certainly seems excited to get back to work, after the trial against his ex-wife Amber, although she officially appealed the verdict on Friday, June 24. Even though he was awarded $10 million, Johnny’s lawyers have made it clear that the trial wasn’t about the money. “This was about restoring his reputation, and he’s done that,” his attorney Ben Chew said in a Good Morning America interview after the fact.
