Rewind: 29-year-old Johnny Depp on being teen idol, turning 30, Nightmare on Elm Street & more -1993

[@Bayoubebe]

I used to look at Johnny as “hot”, but now I realize it’s not even like that. Yes he’s physically gorgeous, but I think it’s more about just appreciating the way he holds his space. He doesn’t come across as arrogant; he just is who he is. I hope he doesn’t let life and it’s energy vampires steal his individual glow. Keep being you Johnny.

[@deniseketo]

Yes 👍 agreed

Except for the profound, obvious damage the drugs and alcohol have done to him.

[@GodyP]

@@joemiller95 I haven’t noticed any profound damage caused by drugs/alcohol he’s just 30 yrs older now

[@joemiller95]

@@GodyP To me it's obvious that his speech is significantly disrupted. He has to stop to think of words, to remember what he's trying to say. I watched video from long ago and he's quick, responsive, and his cognition seems fresh and snappy. In my personal experience I haven't seen anyone slow down to the degree he has without some kind of obvious damage to them, and in this case, for me, the fact that there is no known physical or disease-related damage suggests that the only thing that explains the enormous slowdown is the drugs and alcohol. To me, during the trial, he was struggling to find words, and in many places, to remember what he was even talking about. I'm older than he is by a few years, I've watched a lot of people go through that time period in their lives, and I've not known anyone who naturally slows down to the degree he has and appears to struggle to find the words or complete thoughts the way he does. Additionally, he is incredibly different in his physicality in a similar way. When he walks, waves, speaks to reporters, even now, he is like some kind of ancient person, when in fact he's still a young man, relatively speaking. He comes across like someone who is extremely dazed and somewhat confused about where he is and what he's saying. He's talking and moving like someone much older than he is. But that's my perception, one I think is quite obvious, and maybe you have a different life experience that makes it seem very different to you.

[@GodyP]

@@joemiller95 he was on the stand fighting for his career and reputation his life would be ruined if he lost, obviously he’s gonna try to choose his words carefully since they’re literally looking for any reason to pick apart his answers, he isn’t gonna act or speak the same exact way he would in a friendly care free interview where he can speak freely without worrying about being interrupted mid sentence, he’s 60 yrs old that’s not a young man and he doesn’t even look bad for 60 the average life expectancy for a man in the us is 79 meaning he’s in or closing in on the twilight yrs of his life

I love the resurgence of all this appreciation for Johnny. There has always been something special about him. I think ppl really missed him these last few years because he has a sincerity or relatable vibe about him. He has also contributed to death of "flawless celebrity". We don't need more of that pretentious sh.t.

[@leogem177]

I think Im finally working out what makes him so attractive other than just being really handsome - it's just his way and his mannerisms. He just has this really gentle, sweet nature. A very expressive face, those beautiful twinkling dark eyes of his, a great sense of humour and a deep sexy voice. (And really nice hair!)

[@tutsybassista]

He was kind of like River Phoenix. God, I miss him....

Yes. It’s why in pictures I often think “wow he’s old, not that attractive anymore”, and then you see him speaking on the stand and age doesn’t matter anymore. It’s the same old Johnny he was back then.

[@leogem177]

Well he was under a huge amount of stress for weeks (if not years) and looking a little puffy in the face. It would be almost annoying if it didn't show. God knows I can relate to not looking great in photos🤭.

@@leogem177 Yeah, he looks like a 59 yrs old, he’s not 30 anymore haha. We all lose our looks. Actually I think he looks better than he did during that relationship.

He looks older now but his appearance seems back to what it used to be if that makes sense.

I guess there's one thing we can thank that vile, lying woman. We're seeing a renewed love and appreciation for Johnny Depp. I loved him in his Tim Burton movies bc I like that quirky/dark style. I was never really much interested in Johnny's personal life. But as this trial continues to unfold, I find myself discovering new sides of Johnny Depp that I never knew before and liking him not just as an actor, but as a person. Whatever the verdict [given that the jury wasn't privy to all the information we, the public had access to]... Johnny has already won in the court of public opinion; because we have eyes and ears and in our gut, we can tell there's something rotten about AH. I hope Johnny and his children are able to heal from all this and truly move forward. The majority of the people are with you Johnny.

🌹 After all these years, he remains so real here is the proof - such humility even as a young man.

[@awellculturedmanofanime1246]

What an absolute legend. Its unbelievable what uk did to him and how amber treated him ( all the recordings from them ) in which he still Said that he just wanted her to stop hurting him and rather finally love him without hurting him ( physically and even mentally) she didn't give him his medicine etc when he needed it and didn't do so until he begged her which was the lowest he ever felt he said .what a horrible horrible world we live in ,nobody deserved johnny depp . He is underappreciated and so much more . I'm so unbelievably mad

[@laurelsfaves2665]

Whoever delivered that verdict in the UK should be under investigation !!!

[@leogem177]

It's true but please don't blame the UK it feels like a betrayal of the people from our own justice system. It's embarrassing I was so sure AH lies were obvious and the court would see them as such- instead their decision was they were substantially true- unbelievable! Johnny Depp was treated basically like he was some rich entitled scumbag! Rather than what he actually is- someone who got where he was from an abundance of talent, creativity and hard work. Someone who gets along easily with others, a sensitive, caring humanitarian, who's very generous with what he has made through his own hard work. And all this incredibly for someone who had a very rough unstable, insecure childhood growing up with an abusive mother. Now I feel unsure to what degree we can actually trust our own justice system. Its a scary thought! There is a petition on the change website to re-appeal the case-its already got 60,000 signature in about a week. For the sake of people's faith in our justice system I really hope something is done about the appalling way the case was handled from beguinning to end. That judge should never have been allowed to try the case for one thing- he should have declared his conflict of interest - its such basic stuff.

There is a line in the movie, “It’s a Wonderful Life” in which an old man stands up, frustrated at the young couple that he had been watching and says, “Youth is wasted on the young!” Or something to that effect. I’ll bet that Depp wishes that he could relive his 20s with the knowledge that he has now….just like most people who are over 40 and would like that energy back but do not want to suffer through all the stupid stuff they went through when they were younger.
