‘No Way That’s Him’:

Johnny Depp caused a stir online with a striking new look in Lionsgate’s first peek at Day Drinker, a thriller also starring Penélope Cruz and Madelyn Cline. Dressed in a navy blazer and sipping a cocktail, Depp’s salt-and-pepper hair and piercing gaze had fans swooning. Many praised his elegant, graying style, calling him a “silver fox,” though some were surprised by his apparent blue eye contacts. The buzz extended to Depp’s upgraded smile, first noticed in the Bahamas, with fans speculating about dental work, a change that followed years of criticism over his teeth.

Despite some backlash over his aging appearance, greasy hair, and light-colored eyes, Depp’s fans celebrated his return to the spotlight. He recently attended multiple festivals for his film Modì, Three Days on the Wing of Madness, where he was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award. Depp’s charisma and connection with co-stars, along with nostalgic nods to his Jack Sparrow days, reminded many of his enduring appeal. His new film marks a reunion with Cruz and showcases a revitalized Depp — now sporting a more polished look that’s drawing admiration and curiosity in equal measure.
