Once a Hollywood favorite with iconic roles in Pirates of the Caribbean and Edward Scissorhands, Johnny Depp faced significant setbacks after his contentious divorce from Amber Heard. The legal battles and accusations that followed led to a substantial career fallout, including losing his role in the Fantastic Beasts series. Despite these challenges, Depp began to rebuild, taking on the role of King Louis XV in Jeanne du Barry in 2021—his first major film in years. His journey reflects resilience and the determination to move forward against the odds.
