Johnny Depp & Amber Heard step out in NYC: somber or normal?

Johnny Depp

These are photos of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard yesterday in NYC. Do they look somber to you? That’s the conclusion some people would draw from their downward gazes. Especially since Transcendence became Johnny’s fourth consecutive flop. I keep saying Johnny needs a break. He can afford a break, right? He’s got plenty of money, and that private island can always be liquidated. After another Pirates movie and the Alice in Wonderland sequel, he’ll have more millions.

By the way, I wasn’t the only one who wondered what the heck happened with Transcendence. Deadline published a full analysis yesterday afternoon. It’s an interesting read.

These pictures don’t seem too different from Depp’s mangagement ring debut a few weeks ago. Johnny looks a little sheepish, but Amber doesn’t seem any different, moodwise. Those braids are very “young,” but she can get away with the hairstyle. Maybe Johnny’s into braids. He probably wants braids. His hat is still the worst.

I do wonder about this couple and if they’ll make it to the altar. Johnny wants it bad, but Amber may not. She’s very aware of her own box-office flops. She called herself the “common denominator” between those movies, and perhaps Johnny’s flops also worry her. I’m not saying that it’s Amber’s fault AT ALL that Johnny’s films aren’t doing so hot since they got together. He’s responsible for wearing a damn dead bird on his head. He’s the one who starred in an unmarketable film last weekend. I’m simply saying that if I was Amber, I would worry that people would think it was my fault. Because people are awfully mean to her.

    All the accessories! The chains! The scarves! The hats! What a traveling side show.

    • D says:

      Seriously! How long does it take for him to get dressed? Does he look in the mirror and say, “This isn’t enough, I need a scarf to hang out of my pocket and the hat that looks like it been eaten by rats!”

      • merski says:

        Ahahah, exactly what I was thinking. How does it work when they leave the house? Is it all like “Oh no honey, wait, I completely forgot I was supposed to stuff a bandana in my pocket!”

    • LOL! I literally burst out laughing when I saw these photos. Traveling sideshow is right.

    • Miffy says:

      His hat is older than she is.

  2. MonicaQ says:

    Is JD flagged up with that bandana? (not serious)

  3. lunchcoma says:

    He needs to stop with that ridiculous hat. When you have, as one article referred to it, “f**k you money,” it stops being cool to wear clothes that look like you found them in a trash bin.

    Although I’m no fan of Amber, I don’t think anyone should be blaming her for this movie. Johnny’s a grown man. He chose her, he chose that movie, he chose all those dumb statements in his interviews, and he probably chose that stupid mangagement ring.

    • starrywonder says:

      LOL! I am dying at the hat comment. And yeah she’s not to blame for his crappy movies. He sucks all on his own. But yeah sorry to say I don’t see them lasting 20 plus years in wedded bliss. He’s having a mid life crisis and needs to start doing indie and small character part movies for crying out loud.

      • kri says:

        @starrywonder-with you 100%. He should take a seat. Maybe send his haberdasher a “hey we are over” text, and accept that he is hitting manopause gracefully. I would like to see him in something different like an ensemble Cohen Bros movie, where they don’t let him be Johnny Dress Up.

      • deanna says:

        I’d love to see him return to independent film. I’d also be grateful if he’d get his teeth cleaned and bleached.

    • FingerBinger says:

      I agree about the hat. I bet it’s a very expensive professionally ripped hat though.

    • Kiddo says:

      Yeah, I can never tell if rich people wearing ragged clothes is a mockery of poor people who have no choice in wearing tattered apparel, or if they secretly covet the more genuine existence, but pay a ridiculous price to obtain what boils down to wear and tear, in all things life and clothing.

      It still astounds me that people are willing to pay $600 plus for a pair of jeans with holes. How does someone get a hole like that in a hat? The shoes belie the wealth, while trying to say ‘down to earth’, but the pricey jacket gives him away.

    • An says:

      He got that hat from a homeless person. No joke, google it.

  4. MrsBPitt says:

    Look at that man with his daughter!

  5. lisa2 says:

    I think if you marriage/relationship is based on Boxoffice receipts then you have a big problem

    I doubt either care; Johnny got paid and he is fine. The only way this would affect him is if his money depended on the BO.. right now that is not the case.

    at least his movie was trashed AFTER it was seen and not months before.

  6. blue marie says:

    In that last picture it looks like Amber is leading him because he’s drunk.. He looks ridiculous as always.

  7. darkdove says:

    He looks like a pimp

  8. Yop says:

    I don’t think they look somber, they look normal. And yes, Amber jokes that she’s the reason of the failures, but i see those jokes very much as the same relaxed and “i don’t care” style that the same Johnny has about his own success and failures, so i don’t think she cares either.

    But yeah. The people is so horrible mean with her and that would affect me more than anything. But I think she’s getting some strong armor to resist that…well, Johnny said she’s his strong girl!

    I hope they are having a great time together as it seems, there are other pictures of them heading to a romantic dinner in the night.
    And happy birthday to her…wonder what surprise Johnny had for her birthday? a dinner sounds too normal for the man who gave to her a horse, a reproduction of the movie set where they met, etc, etc

  9. Leah says:

    When did he become so chubby?

  10. PunkyMomma says:

    His hat makes me love Pharrell’s big Mountie hat.

  11. JH says:

    I think she looks amazing. I’m positive he looks like a walking middle-aged-crisis. Ohhhhh, how can she let him walk out the door like that?

  12. Karen says:

    People are terribly mean to her and I think it’s ridiculous. All the father/granddaughter stuff is just plain stupid – he’s probably in New York because she’s filming there and she turns TWENTY-EIGHT today. As in, she’s almost 30 folks, let it go, she’s not a kid.

    Everyone loves to point out that her movies flop, but who really cares? She wanted to act so she left Texas and came to Los Angeles and give it her best shot more than a decade before she laid eyes on Johnny. She worked hard, is still working hard and has credits to her name to prove it. Not a lot of people can say they made risky choices and followed their dream. She’s said some stuff about viewing herself as an artist but rarely gets to play more than a girlfriend, but who cares? We all know that it’s hard for women in hollywood to get deep and meaningful parts. She acknowledges herself that she only gets girlfriend parts but tries to make them deeper and everyone just laughs People still complain when she plays executives and predict a flop when she has a new flick coming out.

    It’s a complete joke that women support women, women just want to rip each other apart in real life and in the comments on this site.

    • Mr. Pitiful says:

      Lighten up, Karen. Amber is also almost 25.

      Your middle paragraph just highlights the beating-a-dead-horse futile efforts of the untalented. Maybe she should just be honest with herself for a change and pursue something she’s good at. She seems to enjoy those blow-up doll faces. Maybe there’s something for her along those lines.

      Women support women, but not blindly. At least most women don’t support others blindly. Obviously, there are exceptions.

    • Hanna says:

      So now, I need to support a terrible, untalented and wooden actress just because Hollywood screams sexism? Because she’s a woman? I didn’t get the memo, Karen

    • lrm says:

      I agree though I do think he’s ridiculous and middle aged crisis. But, Michale douglas and CAtherine zeta Jones have 25 years between them. Also, the Taylor Johnsons are 20 years or so apart. And there are decent sized age gaps between many other famous couples [Matthew M and his wife Camilla, Robin Wright and her beau, etc]. So the age difference itself is not the main deal, to me…though, 28 and 50 is pretty big! I think 40’s and older the age span can be a little easier to deal with. 20’s is tough.

  13. Miffy says:

    She looks good. I actually want her outfit (sans hat because I’m not able to pull of hats… or pigtails… basically just everything from the neck down).

    He looks… dear God, man, we get it. You like shabby but you’re bordering on derelict now.

    • hally says:

      I hate to admit it but i’m loving her outfit as well, hat and pigtails included! He however, looks terrible.

    • Nympha says:

      Ha! The derelict comment is hilarious.
      Also, love Amber’s outfit.

  14. phlyfiremama says:

    Obviously since he has “F You” money it isn’t just derelict cothing, it is Derelicte’ by Mugatu. 😉 I like Amber, she is stunningly gorgeous and I enjoyed her in the Rum Diaries. Was it Oscar movie material? No, but Johnny hasn’t been (ever?) going up for Academy Awards in a long long time~just REALLY big paychecks. Mission accomplished. I think much like the endless Spiderman reboots (at least for me, anyway), people are just sick and tired of seeing Johnny Depp playing yet another Johnny Depp character. I don’t think it has anything to do with Amber, frankly~people are just tired of him and he is WAY over exposed. The continuing wardrobe eccentricity isn’t helping his case~seriously, dude, get a new hat.

  15. retro says:

    I’m not used to seeing ‘everyday’ sort of pics of Depp– I’m taken aback by how much he’s aged. He’s really looking like an older fellow here, desperately trying to look younger than his age. I guess the photos we normally see of him have some work going into them. She’s all sorts of stunning, but him, I’ll take a pass.

    It’s time for him to reassess, and figure out a revised presentation 🙂

    • AnnaM44 says:

      Ikr? When he was with Vanessa, no one ever knew where he was. we got pics of him maybe once or twice a month. Now that he’s with amber, we see him and her at least once or twice a week, even when he’s not promoting anything.

  16. Ag says:

    JD has been fighting the hot for so long that he has successfully killed it.

  17. Emillie says:

    Why is he grabbing her like that?
    There is nothing protective about it! It’s actually very off putting. They give off all sorts of father-daughter vibes.

    • hally says:

      I was hoping someone else noticed! The body language he’s giving off says controlling father, controlling boyfriend, or, (i hate to say it) pimp. Not loving fiance. She also does not look happy. I hope she doesn’t go through with this engagement. I used to like Mr. Depp so I never thought i’d say this, but she can do better!

  18. Dimebox says:

    Deep is an accessory hound. I agree that the hat looks ridiculous, but I have a vague memory that it belonged to Hunter S. Thompson, who gave it to Depp. Even if that is right, it’s time it be retired. I can’t stand the smell of smoke on clothes, and I imagine that hat reeks.

  19. Catt says:

    You think she would be able to successfully get him to stop wearing those awful awful pants. I wonder if she tries. She can’t possibly think he looks good can she?

  20. Spy vs. Spy.

    That is all.

  21. Kat says:

    I think he looked far more somber when his movies were really succesful but he had an unhappy personal life, like all the phase between 2010 and when he was promoting POTC4 and falling out drunk, etc
    Here he is smiling and he’s smiling too in the pictures in the night.
    He wasn’t too papped before, mostly because he didn’t live in America and nobody cared about Vanessa Paradis until they broke up. Amber has her own thing going on and is a target for paparazzis by herself. But they have all the right to take a stroll or going to a dinner to celebrate her birthday as any human being and if she’s working in NYC, then it has to be there, so what? only non-famous people can have a dinner now?

    • Leah says:

      Its really absurd to claim Amber has more of a thing going on than Vanessa or would be much of a target for paparazzi without him. Amber has being Johnny Depps fiance going on. Without that she would just be lost in a sea of unremarkable blonde starlets without any real career success. The reason these two get papped more is due to the places they go. They go to places in Los angeles and Nyc were the paps hangs around. Jennifer Lawrence gets papped less than Amber so it has nothing to do with popularity but everything to do with either seeking out spots where paparazzi are known to be or wanting to be papped to keep oneself in the news.

      • Kat says:

        Well, Vanessa was an unknown in America before Johnny and also an almost unknown after. She was only Johnny’s baby momma or now Johnny’s ex girlfriend (the american sites not even cared about the pictures the past week with her new boyfriend)…Amber at least has a career in America (even if it was smaller before Johnny), or she is the girl from the drive angry or the rum diary or the woman who came out with her girlfriend. So yeah she’s more a target than what Vanessa ever was in America.

      • Leah says:

        Nobody has really seen those movies you mention. They bombed at the box office.Vanessa had hit songs across europe when she was younger and was known as Lenny Kravitz girlfriend in the US, film star in her homeland france, face of lacombe or dior or something like that. So I would consider her a lot more accomplished and prolific professionally. Either way the point is if JLaw can avoid getting papped then Amber most certainly can as well. Eyeroll.

  22. rep says:

    Dear Catt, just no, there is no way in Hell that she is really into him. I cant even describe him anymore. But yeah he did fight against being hot and yes, it has now been achieved.

  23. Bria says:

    Amber never dressed casual the way she does now; she was a sweater and bunchy t-shirt girl. Depp and Heard clothes/style is so similar now that I wouldn’t be surprised if they had a shared wardrobe. They’re a cute couple…but, it’s off putting that he spent 10+ years with Vanessa and never married and now is sprinting to the aisle with Amber

  24. Liz says:

    Just can’t imagine being 28 and looking forward to having sex with a 50-year-old. When I’m 48, definitely, but not before.

    • JJ says:

      Depp looks like he is completely drunk in these pictures, YUCK the guy is so gross.
      He got 20 million for his lame and lazy performance in Transcendence.

  25. ann says:

    Kat the reason why she wasn’t well known in america because her work was in France and when she was with johnny she never once wanted to start a career in america it wasn’t for her.and yes she was known has Johnny’s girlfriend and baby mamma so what amber will be known and Johnny’s wife.and so what if Vanessa was papped with her boyfriend @ least she’s not prounching him about @ her premiers and telling everyone that will listen to her how she feels about him Vanessa is more private than johnny and amber FACT.and as for paps Vanessa never cared for the paps well we thought johnny did looks like he’s best mates with them now wonder were he got that from mmmm.and as for ambers career she wasn’t well known actress she’s only famous for bedding johnny depp FACT all the actresses in ambers age category have done amazing films been nominated won awards because great directors and writers want them not amber I don’t see the same thing happening to her she moans that women don’t have a chance with strong women film roles she’s just saying this because those woman have talent and won awards and no director has came knocking in johnny door she keeps excepting flop films really bad films she can’t act her best acting his lying and being a bullshitter.

  26. Anon33 says:

    It just comes off as so pathetic. He doesn’t seem like he has thoughts of his own anymore. Either he didn’t want to be papped before and now he does, which is tacky, or he’s doing it “all for love” and “just for amber” which is even tackier. And cheesy.

  27. Kosmos says:

    I think its fun and still stylish to wear distressed or ripped clothing when you feel in the mood, BUT….Johnny ‘always’ wears this look and aren’t we really tired of seeing him try so hard with this image? I agree, the scarf is totally off, silly even, and the hat with the holes in it, another laugh….and then he does the jewelry, but never does it really well. I think his look is a mix of whatever he thinks will look ‘distressed, bohemian, or maybe 70s,’ sometimes adding a vest or jacket. John Mayer is another one who does a similar look, but doesn’t do it well, and he looks even worse than Depp, I think….
