How Dior Helped Johnny Depp Bounce Back After Amber Heard—And His Stunning New Look

Johnny Depp is once again the face of Dior, this time channeling a rugged cowboy vibe for the luxury brand’s latest ad campaign. Spotted filming in the hills of Villaspesa, Spain, Depp cut a striking figure in a wide-brimmed cowboy hat and a poncho reminiscent of Clint Eastwood’s iconic western look. The arid landscape provided a dramatic backdrop as the actor embraced his character with ease.

Depp, ever the seasoned performer, took direction on set without issue, all while flashing smiles and waving at nearby onlookers. The atmosphere appeared light and relaxed, with Depp holding what looked to be a refreshing lemon-infused drink between takes—a smart choice for the warm Spanish afternoon.

Dior’s loyalty to Depp stands out in stark contrast to the many brands and film projects that distanced themselves from the actor following his legal battle with ex-wife Amber Heard. The brand remained steadfast, renewing Depp’s contract in 2022 after his courtroom victory—a deal reportedly valued at $20 million. This long-standing partnership has not only helped sustain Depp’s public image but also reinforced Dior’s confidence in the star’s enduring appeal.

Since his high-profile defamation trial, Depp’s career has been back on the upswing. He’s lined up several projects, including a notable role as Satan in an upcoming film. With these new endeavors and a thriving partnership with Dior, Depp appears ready to leave past troubles behind and fully re-engage with his craft.
