Johnny Depp is King Louis XV in French film ‘Jeanne du Barry’<\/p>\n

Accomplished if controversial actor Johnny Depp was last seen in court in a lawsuit against his ex-wife, now he’s back in the movie “Jeanne du Barry.”<\/p>\n

Johnny Depp<\/a> is looking unrecognizable as he mounts a comeback after his yearslong court battles with ex-wife Amber Heard<\/a> derailed his Hollywood career.<\/p>\n

Lionsgate shared a photo Monday of Depp<\/a> in the upcoming movie “Day Drinker,” and the actor, known for his flowing dark hair that fans often associate with his “Pirates of the Caribbean” character Jack Sparrow, has transformed. Depp, 61, looks grizzly in a grown-out graying beard and his hair pulled back into a bun.<\/p>\n

Variety<\/a> first shared the news. The film, directed by Marc Webb of “500 Days of Summer” fame, has started production.<\/p>\n

The film will feature frequent collaborators Depp and Pen\u00e9lope Cruz<\/a>, who have worked together on a trio of films. including “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.” Madelyn Cline<\/a>, a breakout actress in Netflix’s “Outer Banks,” also stars.<\/p>\n

“Day Drinker” follows a private-yacht bartender (Cline) who meets a mysterious guest (Depp), but the pair soon become connected with a “criminal figure” played by Cruz.<\/p>\n

Last year, Depp dipped his toes back into movie-making. In “Jeanne du Barry,”<\/a> he played 18th-century monarch France\u2019s King Louis XV in the French-language film, which premiered at the annual Cannes film festival.<\/p>\n

Former pirate Johnny Depp returns to the <\/strong>screen as King Louis XV. But will audiences care?<\/a><\/p>\n

Johnny Depp, Amber Heard trial exposed shocking claims of abuse<\/p>\n

The return followed an unflattering spotlight for the former industry titan, which was ignited by his 2022 defamation case against his ex-wife, actress and model Heard. Though a\u00a0civil jury ultimately awarded Depp $10 million and Heard $2 million<\/a>, the trial exposed shocking claims of mutual physical and emotional abuse.<\/p>\n

He also made a return to directing last January for the independent film “Modi,” his first notable re-emergence to the film world in the last few years.<\/p>\n

Depp’s career, initially turbocharged by his ’80s TV series “21 Jump Street,” has led to three best actor Oscar nominations (no wins) and an iconic role in the “Pirates” franchise.<\/p>\n
