Johnny Depp is making news at the Cannes Film Festival, but not for the reasons he might have hoped. His new movie, Jeanne Du Barry, premiered on May 16th, but it was Depp’s appearance that stole the spotlight—specifically, his teeth.
The 59-year-old actor, known for his roles in *Pirates of the Caribbean* and *Sweeney Todd*, has kept a low profile since his 2022 legal victory over ex-wife Amber Heard. He has been spending time at his large estate in Somerset, England. However, he decided to attend the Cannes Film Festival for his film’s premiere.
Unfortunately, Depp’s teeth have become a major topic online, with fans expressing shock and disappointment. Some even compared his look to that of rock musician Ozzy Osbourne. Comments on social media have been harsh, with some fans saying they are “disgusted” by how Depp looks. It seems Depp’s appearance at Cannes is getting more attention than his movie.
Fans have been reacting strongly to Johnny Depp’s appearance on social media, especially his teeth. Some people are shocked and unhappy about how his teeth look in photos from the Cannes Film Festival.
One Twitter user wrote, “Johnny Depp’s teeth are literally ROTTING,” and shared a close-up picture of his teeth. Another person asked, “Why do I have to see close-up pics of Johnny Depp’s teeth against my will?” A third critic said, “Johnny Depp just looks like someone grabbed his teeth and painted them black.”
Many fans expressed their disappointment, with one saying, “Seeing that pic of Johnny Depp’s teeth on my timeline just ruined my mood. That’s enough Twitter for me.” Another joked, “Well, at least he’s committed to staying in character for his next pirate movie.” One person even commented, “This should be considered bacterial biological warfare,” while others speculated that his long-term smoking might be the cause, with one user writing, “Dude has been a tobacco smoker for his entire adult life so not surprising.”
Johnny Depp received a standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival, despite some criticism about his teeth. After the premiere of his French biographical drama, Depp was applauded for seven minutes. Reports say he was moved to tears by the response.
While some fans commented negatively on social media about his teeth, many others defended him. On an Instagram post from OK! Magazine, fans showed their support. One wrote, “Jeez, negative trolling—give the guy a break after all he’s been through.” Another said, “Still love Johnny Depp,” with a hand-praising emoji. Fans also praised Depp as a “wonderful talented actor” and a “great man, great father, and amazing actor,” reminding others that he’s been through a lot and deserves respect.
Boy Didn’t Stop Kicking My Seat during a Long Flight – My Dad Taught His Parents a Nice Lesson
Long-haul flights can be uncomfortable without the added factor of confrontation. Unfortunately, one father-daughter duo had to deal with a cramped plane and a child whose parents neglected to control him on top of the discomfort of travel.

A few years ago, during a long night flight back from India, a family found themselves embroiled in a conflict with the family sitting behind them. The father and his then-14-year-old daughter were seated in front of a trio: a couple and their son, who was approximately 9 or 10 years old.
The plane ascended into the night sky, but the tranquility of the journey was soon disrupted by the the little boy behind them repetitively kicking the daughter’s chair. Initially, the father addressed the issue with a polite request for the boy to cease his kicking. The boy stopped, but only for a short time before he started again.

In a strategic move, the father reclined his seat fully, disturbing the boy’s mother seated behind him. When the mom and her husband protested, seeking the intervention of a flight attendant, she asked if the man wanted to keep his seat reclined. The father responded in the affirmative and the flight attendant confirmed he could do as he pleased.
The couple then exchanged a few whispers, which led to their little boy no longer kicking the young girl’s seat. However, her father kept his seat reclined for an hour so that he could be sure the couple had learned their lesson.

Many people were entertained by the story. One person suggested that the father should have waited until the couple had received drinks and then reclined his seat fully, causing the drinks to spill on them.
Another person shared that many people wouldn’t understand how something was impacting others until they were directly impacted by something themselves. The commenter shared that since the couple couldn’t feel their son’s kicks in the chair, they couldn’t care less about how it was affecting someone else. However, when their comfort was compromised, they knew they had to do something.

Some people even shared similar stories to the one this poster shared. One woman shared that she had been on a flight on her way back from Egypt when a man was seated behind her. He was indignant that a woman should be sitting in front of him, which led to him aggressively kicking her seat each time she moved.
At one point, the woman leaned back slightly, prompting the man to call a flight attendant over. The man screamed that a woman shouldn’t be allowed into his space. He pushed her seat as hard as possible in an effort to straighten the seat and no longer have it near him.

The flight attendant told the man that the woman was allowed to lean her seat back if she wanted to. The woman’s husband offered to switch seats with her, but she remained steadfast in her resolve to stay in her seat for the seven-hour flight.
Another Reddit user shared that they were 18 when they traveled from the US to the UK. They sat in front of a child who was kicking their chair and causing general discomfort. The traveler politely turned to the child’s mom and asked if she could tell her child to stop kicking the seat.

The child’s mother shrugged and said her child could do what he wanted to do. The commenter replied that they could also do what they wanted and that unless the mother wanted things to get ugly, she should reign her child in. The person said they would embarrass the woman if she did not control her child.
The mother seemed nonplussed, so the traveler stood up and shouted to the plane that they were having an issue with the child. They then asked if anyone else was experiencing the same issue or if the child’s mother just didn’t know how to parent. The woman became enraged, but the person did not care.

When the flight was over, the traveler walked into the airport and was greeted by their friends. The mother and her son walked past the group with their heads down, not saying anything.
While these parents didn’t know how to control their children on the plane, one mother was not even allowed to get on the plane with her child. Read the full story here.
