Amber Heard in Elie Saab & Johnny Depp in pinstripes at TIFF: cool or dated?

Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp showed up to TIFF with Amber Heard for the premiere of her movie, The Danish Girl. We haven’t heard much about her performance. All the buzz is about Alicia Vikander and Eddie Redmayne, but that’s usually how it goes with Amber’s movies. She’s pretty and talks a tough game but doesn’t make an impact onscreen. It’s nice that Johnny showed up to support his lady when he’s also got all of his Black Mass promotion to do. Maybe they walked the carpet and split, but Amber probably wanted to watch her own movie.

Amber’s dress is Elie Saab, which is beautiful on her. I think she could have mixed up her hair and gone with an updo. Ever since she and Johnny officially hooked up, she’s been resisting the updos. Maybe because they’re so bohemian together, and so free. Remember when they got the munchies and raided bulk food bins with their bare hands? Those days are long gone, and I miss them. Johnny looks more dapper than usual in his pinstriped suit, which is probably not Dior Homme. Johnny has to wear Dior for his official appearances, but he can probably wear whatever he wants otherwise. Like, this suit looks more like Johnny’s own style than anything Dior would offer up, but I could be wrong.

Meanwhile, Page Six posted a mean weekend column about how Johnny’s lost his youthful looks. The article talks about Johnny’s awful teeth, which are fair game but might be remnants of his Jack Sparrow costume. Then they go further to talk about how he “will next appear in Black Mass” and “is evidently taking the Mass part of the title literally.” Page Six is usually not so aggressively snarky. So harsh.

Yet I do think Johnny is wearing lifts.

    I never saw his appeal, to me he has always look dirty and greasy.

    • MG says:

      Oh no. Johnny was once so damn gorgeous but that was a LONG time ago.

      • Shambles says:

        Yeah, there’s no denying that he used to be f*cking beautiful. Dirty worked for him. All the dirty. Mm, mm. But it doesn’t age very well, as we can see. *cries*

      • Sullivan says:

        The guy was absolutely gorgeous. Time and his lifestyle have taken their toll.

      • Bichon says:

        Absolutely. I had super crush on him, and now he’s just sad.

      • Miffy says:

        Circa 2000 Johnny Depp was stunning. He was always a bit sexy grungy and then Vanessa Paradis got her hands on him and he became all sexy eurotrash grungy and holy hell I was done! I’ve never had a full blown crush on any celebrity but JD when he lived in France was swoon-worthy!

        Then the midlife crisis happened….

      • I don't understand says:

        Yeah once a time he was so gorgeous. His hard living has not been kind to his face.
        And I am guessing that trying to keep up with Amber has left him looking tired and defeated.

    • Sarah says:

      Johnny used to be so beautiful. Just gorgeous. But yeah – now he is dirty and nasty and Page 6 is right – he’s put on quite a bit of weight. If you believe Blind Gossip, it is because he had to stop drugs and now he is “medicating” with food. I’ll believe it. Looking at Amber, obviously working hard on her appearance and gorgeous – I wonder if she wants to yell at Johnny to take a shower and put on something that fits. He has turned into a caricature of himself.

    • islandwalker says:

      I’m with you Celine, never found him appealing in any way. To each his own I suppose. I always thought he was smug and creepy, even when he was younger and cleaner.

    • JenniferJustice says:

      He used to be such a pretty boy back in 21 Jump Street and the first Nightmare on Elm Street, but yes, he now perpetually looks to need a bath, a shave, and a tailor. The blinds say he gained alot of weight in rehab and he’s trying to hide it with baggy clothes. I feel bad for him. If I had to choose between sobriety for him or staying thin, I’d choose sobriety.

    • Mary-Alice says:

      I liked him best at the time of Chocolat. He was already a grown up man, the boyish was gone but he was HOT. And their chemistry with Binoche was insane.

  2. saywhatwhen says:

    Pretty dress. Like the stylist decided to coordinate them. Amber looks like the love child of Blake Not So Lively and Scarlett Johansson to me.

    • Lee says:

      “Blake Not So Lively” Lmao

    • vauvert says:

      Wish the dress was on someone I actually liked. She is physically beautiful but so lacking in talent and overcompensating with smug that I can’t stand looking at her.

      I used to adore Depp and seeing him like this is sad. It’s not age, look at Harrison Ford or Tom Hanks or Sean Connery or… long list of men who aged really nicely. It is the lifestyle – the bloat, the bad teeth, the greasy hair, the vacant look, the ill fitting clothes and all the embellishments – we get it, you are hip, cool and edgy, NOT! He is hiding behind the hats and scarves and necklaces, rings, bracelets, sunglasses and lifts. Get help Johnny, this is pathetic.

    • Maggie says:

      She’s always looked like a young Sharon Stone to me.

  3. Shambles says:

    He looks less dead. I feel like JLo is about to sue Amber for copyright infringement, because that “LOOKATMEIAMSOSEXY” open-mouth pose is unmistakable.

    • Jegede says:

      Funny thing is Amber has like 5 minutes screen time in this movie…..

      ………..yet the actual stars of the flick, Eddie and Alicia, seem to be getting overshadowed attention wise.

      • Shambles says:

        The key word there is “attention.” Give Amber ALL THE ATTENTION!
        *Bites Johnny’s ear in public*

      • Nic919 says:

        I saw the film too and Amber Heard is barely in it. When she is, she is mostly irritating. Maybe they were hoping that bringing Johnny Depp to the premieres will help with press?

        But the director in introducing her prior to the film said when a role calls for getting the perfect embodiment of beauty you hire Amber Heard, I almost barfed a little. I mean Alicia Vikander is just as pretty and actually was able to act.
        Maybe he was doing that to keep Johnny happy and interested in his next movie.

      • SilkyP says:

        Amber has no scruples about stealing the spotlight from the real stars of the film. She did the same in Venice, big hair, big dress and Johnny on her arm. I guess she has to, because her job these days is to bring the glamour, for lack of acting talent.

      • SilkyP says:

        @ Nic919 ‘But the director in introducing her prior to the film said when a role calls for getting the perfect embodiment of beauty you hire Amber Heard, I almost barfed a little..’ I think Tom Hooper meant to say: ‘If you need some extra buzz for the red carpet of your film’s premiere, you hire Amber Heard. She’s Barbie-beautiful and will bring her world-famous boyfriend. Headlines guaranteed.’

  4. Jayna says:

    There is absolutely nothing sexy about Johnny Depp in the vibe he gives off in the last ten years. I would rather have sex with Sean Penn if I only had those two choices and had to pick. LOL That’s how unappealing I find Johnny in a sexual way. He seems asexual to me.

    • Lori says:

      Me too. I think Sean Penn would at least be kind enough to punch you in the face or choke you out so you didn’t know what was happening.

    • belle de jour says:

      “He seems asexual to me.” THIS. The more costumey & exaggerated his menswear and accoutrements, the more he gives this impression. The only sort of energy I really get from him – or what manages to escape his layers of distraction – is that he is seriously ill at ease and probably unwell in all sorts of ways, poor man.

    • Em' says:

      I think I’d rather not have sex anymore, if they are the 2 only choices….

  5. launicaangelina says:

    Johnny needs to stop with that greasy tendril of hair on his right side. Damn it, he used to be so hot.

  6. evermore says:

    She is a beautiful woman, and the dress is stunning.

  7. Deanne says:

    He’s become so repulsive to me. His greasy hair, tacky jewellry and wrinkled clothes. She looks like she’d rather be anywhere but with him. Nothing cute about this couple.

  8. Alexandra says:

    Amber is so eye-roll inducing. Everything has to be about her.

    PS: Why is everything in Italics?

  9. GlimmerBunny says:

    The dress is GORGEOUS. I just wish it was on someone I could stand.

    Fun Fact: my mom met Amber in Venice and said she was just as vapid, arrogant and boring as she looks. She also said that Kristen Steward was a lot livelier and wittier than she would have thought and Nicholas Hoult was a lot hotter live.

  10. Aren says:

    I think he’s definitely being judged too harshly. He’s a great actor, and lacks fashion sense since forever.
    I remember Lagerfeld said that you had to be young to pull of the scruffy look, he’s right.
    Amber is gorgeous, but that’s about it.

    • Eleonor says:

      Agreed.
      People do get older, he has had a rough life, he starts showing his age, not a big deal to me.
      And if he doesn’t give a damn to look younger kudos for him.

      • Kitten says:

        He’s had a rough life? Do tell.

      • FingerBinger says:

        Millions of dollars. A private island. I wish my life was rough like that.

      • Eleonor says:

        In the ’90s he was a mess: doing coke with Keith Moss and destrying hotel rooms. And it’s a well known fact he loves the booze.
        And he is a smoker. All these stuff ages you.
        He settle down and started having a quite life after he started dating Vanessa Paradis.

      • Anon33 says:

        He chose to do all of that. He chose that path. That’s not a “rough life.” What traumas has he suffered? When was he poor and hungry? No, I’m sorry, but that’s just him being an immature ass.

  11. Pondering thoughts says:

    Saying Depp had lost his looks is a bit harsh. He is getting old like we all do. One really shouldn’t hold aging against people. One doesn’t lose one’s beauty due to aging but it merely changes. Susan Sarandon ain’t no spring chicken any more and she looks vibrant and interesting and beautiful still. The problem with Depp is more his fashion style: the bracelets and chains and scarves and hats. And the hair style. And the new partner. He never looked old next to Vanessa Paradies. They always had a very elegant french old Chanel style with slight dark or gothic touches which suited them well. But next to Amber? She doesn’t know how to dress up her man. Depp is too old for bohemian boho hippie free spirit style.

    Here this “absent-minded professor” look suits him, too:

    http://www.celebitchy.com/346160/johnny_depp_doesnt_want_to_turn_off_amber_heard_by_asking_for_a_prenup/

    • It'sJustBlanche says:

      This is exactly true. He needs to clean up his act, tidy up, and lose all the ridiculous accessories. He would look so much better.

      And really you reach a point where someone younger is going to make you look older. Its unavoidable and he’s hit that point.

    • Luca76 says:

      Sorry ladies it’s the booze. Fixing his teeth would help but all the showers in the world won’t get him his face back. He’s got to get off of the sauce.

      • Magpie says:

        They say he’s replaced the booze for food. he’s probably wearing spanx and pinstripes to look a little leaner, but he does look super heavy and unhealthy. More than anything he just looks unhappy.

      • BNA FN says:

        @Lucia, I totally agrees with you. JD is abusing booze and or drugs. I saw a video of JD and AH last week on a red carpet and I noticed AH guiding him when he was turning around. I could Tell he was totally out of it. Btw, I’m not a JD fan but he was very handsome back in the day, not anymore. I red laney today and she mentioned she saw JD over the weekend and he was wearing his stripe suite, and in her opinion he looks much worse than in those photos.

    • PennyLane says:

      I’m more worried that he appears to have lost his health.

      • Kym says:

        So true Pennylane.
        We shouldn’t be worried about his clothes at this point. I don’t care if he just got chubby..but the guy looks beyond just cutting back on fats at this point. He looks sick.

    • serena says:

      I totally agree!

  12. Melissa says:

    Every time I see a picture of these two all I can think about is how ridiculous they look together.

  13. Luca76 says:

    He was aging divinely up until a few years ago. The last movie he looked good in was Rum Diary. I’m not going to blame Amber, but that’s just the empirical truth.

  14. MinnFinn says:

    Evidently Johnny is very insecure about their height differential. Three obvious ploys to get him closer to her height. He’s wearing platform shoes plus a tall hat. Any taller and it would be an Abe Lincoln stove pipe hat. The third trick is that she skips an updo because they do add visual height.

    And the geriatric platform shoes ruin the whole look of his Zoot suit.

    • Elisa the I. says:

      LOL at your Lincoln comment! 🙂 Don’t give him ideas!

    • Pandy says:

      Didn’t think of the updo/height thing, but you are so right! She is gorgeous. I never got the Depp appeal and just saw his Madame Tussaud’s statue in Vegas yesterday. The wax statue looks 200% better of course. No, he isn’t ageing well. Must be an unhealthy lifestyle. When you compare him to Tom Cruise (roughly the same age?), the difference is astounding. And I don’t think Tom’s had work done – no more than lasers anyway. They do both wear lifts though lollll. The post on Johnny’s lifts last week was hilarious.

  15. Balm says:

    He looks less sweaty and bloated here, but the suit is really ill fitting. His silver teeth caps or whatever they’re called are so awful.

  16. Margareth says:

    I don’t get the contempt these 2 get. It’s not like for the first time in Hollywood an older unkempt star/director/producer hangs out with a younger stunning woman or leaves his wife/partner for a younger model. Actually, it’s almost the norm in the movie industry, I’m more surprised when one of them chooses a different, less superficial type of woman, like Matt Damon or Tom Hanks.

    • Balm says:

      Johnny has looked awkward and embarrassed – I swear he really does – since he got with Amber, and everyone thinks Amber’s just an ambitious fame-lover.

    • Anne says:

      I, for one, didn’t expect him to become such a cliche. All that cool, compelling energy he had just fizzled out. . . .

  17. It'sJustBlanche says:

    Wasn’t it Anthony Bourdain who said something about how you get a certain point in your life, and you stop dressing like a wannabe rock star? He needs to get some well tailored suits and clean up his act. He looks terrible, bless his heart.

    • Tulip says:

      I get a kick out of seeing aging rock stars, male or female, dressing “wrong” for their age. It’s like even after all these years they’re still giving the f u to the establishment.

      As for Depp, suits are pointless reforms. It seems he changes the suit, not the other way around.

  18. lisa2 says:

    I think Amber’s dress is beautiful..

    Johnny needs to have his suits tailored to fit better. I lover pinstripes; but this suite is making him look so wide

  19. Kitten says:

    Never understood the hype about her. I don’t find her beautiful, just basic.

    • funcakes says:

      Agreed. If it wasn’t for Johnny she would be doing straight to Lifetime movies by now.

      • Amide says:

        Even with Johnny her films still flop like crazy.
        Examples like Syrup, 3 days to kill were critical and commercial wash outs. Never mind her flop TV shows like Palm Springs, Playboy Club which barely lasted a season. Depp is her passport to all the glory she claims to despise and is now only receiving. Pre Depp few people outside internet blogs cared about her, there were no MET Gala invites or Elle/Jalouse covers.
        Depp is her passport to avoiding TV movies right now.

        Amber Heard acting.

    • KatC says:

      Yeah, I’m not overly impressed either. Her face gives me a case of the yawns, and her acting is just terrible…

  20. meme says:

    meh to Depp. Amber Heard is gorgeous and so is that dress.

  21. Redd says:

    Strip him naked, give him a shower, haircut, and shave, and he’d look fine for his age. He still has those cheekbones and piercing eyes.

  22. Leah says:

    I think its funny that he shows up to her premiere just so she can get all the attention. Apparently she’s barely in the movie. But no doubt Heard will get more attention than the movies female lead Alicia Wikander.

    • funcakes says:

      This is the desperate movie of a starlet and not an actress.

    • KatC says:

      Alicia deserves to be a big star. I saw her in Ex Machina and she was absolutely breathtaking. I mean, she commanded the screen and it was hard to take your eyes off her.

      • Balm says:

        I agree. Alicia was wonderful in Ex Machina but she was supported by a first-class cast, script, and production in general. I haven’t seen Amber in any memorable roles or movies. She was in Pineapple Express; that’s all I remember. She seems to play the femme fatale roles and then complains about not being offered anything else because she’s just too beautiful.

      • Anna says:

        I’ll have to give it some time and check out a few more of her films but at the moment, I find Alicia Vikander super-annoying. I saw her on the Tonight Show and she was so irritating with her aggressive insistence on everyone doing her Swedish holiday drinking game, chastizing them for not saying her name right, generally just being stuck up and pushy in a way that usually gets levelled against “Americans” from U.S. by Europeans so it’s surprising when I see the same behavior. Yes, she is gorgeous and I am still open to liking her characters but as a person, she feels a bit try-hard and snobby.

  23. funcakes says:

    Count down to Black Mass! I can’t wait.

  24. Hannah says:

    According to lainey he looks worse in person and there was drama with his trophy wife last night.

    http://www.laineygossip.com/Johnny-Depps-late-night-meeting-and-Amber-Heard-drama-after-The-Danish-Girl-TIFF-premiere/40624

    • Kira says:

      That’s strange.I remember reading on twitter that they were spotted hanging out at their hotel bar together..hmmm.I don’t doubt that Lainey saw him but knowing the hate she has for them I take all these with a grain of salt.I believe that Johnny was with these people at the hotel etc but I won’t trust her so called sources about a couple she hates.Oh and she is just so bitter about him that I can’t take her very seriously anymore.I looked at some pictures from the press conference yesterday and he looked fine to me.One word-Overreaction.

      • Jaded says:

        She was in the same restaurant watching him all evening – this didn’t come from “sources”. There was a lot of too-ing and fro-ing to get her to come down but she wouldn’t. Apparently the group he was with was too old for her taste.

  25. Sharon says:

    Hang on… How did he debloat his face so quickly. He looks a lot better here than he did in Venice – make up?

    • Hannah says:

      Does he? You can’t really see his face its obscured by giant sunglasses and a hat.

    • Calcifer says:

      @Sharon I have the impression he is sucking in his cheeks. He used to do that in the past sometimes to make his cheekbones even more prominent, now it’s a short-cut to ‘debloatation’. There might also be some subtle contouring going on.

  26. mmm says:

    I like her dress. And this suit makes him look more like himself, that’s why he looks better and also is better fitted than the Dior
    His teeth are for the reshoots of Pirates of the Caribbean 5, so i don’t understand the complaints about it, like no one understand this industry and it were the first time Johnny do it (he was blonde for Mortdecai)
    I think her character is just supporting but pivotal in a way. She’s the friend who encourages Eddie’s character to be free with his new sexuality
    And they didn’t watch the movie, they did it in Venice. In this premiere they retired after the actors did the presentation of the movie

    • Pondering thoughts says:

      I think his pirates-of-the-carribean-teeth need to be explained more often. Like Leo’s man bun for the Revenant.

  27. Elizabeth says:

    Johnny really has lost his looks and has looked awful for the past few years. The combination of too much drinking and too little sleep.

    Every time I see him with Amber it looks like they are father and daughter. Weird!

  28. serena says:

    So harsh and unfair. Yes, Johnny gained weight (to the booze), mostly likes to wear crap and he’s not as dashing as he was years ago, BUT he’s 50 for god’s sake! He’ll always be much better than the average men, in my opinion. He’s still a beautiful man and with few pounds off he’ll look his beautiful self again -but maybe go see a dentist Johnny, yep.-

    • saywhatwhen says:

      Keanu is 50 too, no?

    • SillySimone says:

      Amen sister. He is still hot. More importantly, he is fascinating. That is something that never goes out of style.

    • Balm says:

      I didn’t know those awful silver caps were for Pirate’s reshoots. Anyway, sleep is a human right and poor Johnny needs to get more of it. Lainey’s post was right on about that. Nothing ages you more than lack of sleep, but combine that with alcohol and smoking, and even the genetically blessed – which Depp undeniably is – start looking like this when they hit 50.

  29. Penelope says:

    I think JD looks pretty good, actually. And she is a beautiful woman.

    • Balm says:

      I agree she’s really beautiful but yet to star in anything I can remember. The dress is really amazing and delicate.

  30. Ashley says:

    Love him as an actor but he’s not looking good lately. But he has real talent, shame his personal life is a bit cringe inducing in middle age.
    She’s just boring to me. Pretty yes but in a generic way, when there’s not a lot of talent or originality to back up all the press she’s getting it just bores me to be honest.

  31. funcakes says:

    Wow he must be a hot mess because usually people say actors look better in person.

  32. SillySimone says:

    Love the dress. Love her skin. Her makeup. All of it. Her hair, though, looks stringy and frizzy. She looks better in darker shades and in updos.

    I like his suit, but I wish he would take a bath once in a while. I still think he is hot though. Could be nostalgia, but I would still hit it.

  33. KatC says:

    He doesn’t look crazy bad. I mean, yeah, bad for him, sure. But Johnny Depp on his worst day is still pretty okay. It’s kind of crazy to get on him so hard over what looks like 10-15 lbs. He probably just carries weight in really noticeable places.

    That said, he does sort of have a look like he’s kicking himself for all those years of trying to quash the hotness so he could be taken seriously.

    I do think Amber is a pitiful replacement for Paradis looks wise. Amber looks like the 90’s to me. Kind of a corn-fed healthy wholesome thing going on, but ultimately not interesting or stylish in any way. Paradis in the other hand, wow-za, she only gets better with age. The kind of face that shows wrinkles from too much smiling. Her eyes are always sparkling…

    • Dinah says:

      Funny how Johnny wants to be taller than the woman who he is with. Tom Cruise and Mick Jagger appear to desperately want to be shorter than the women who they are. Tom and Mick have that in common: Love for Amazon women. Not that there’s anything wrong with that because Amazon women need love from multimillionaire celebrities, too.

  34. Roo says:

    I will never hate on him. He’s had his share of crap films but I’m always rooting for him. So happy Black Mass is doing somewhat well.

  35. suziekew says:

    But..but..he buried the jewelry!!! That is the cheesiest commercial ever.

    I agree with someone up above, it’s not the age. He could look so much better if he got rid of all the accoutrements and cut his hair to a nice neat cut. He needs a personal tailor and last but not least the lifts need to go.

  36. Joyce says:

    She doesnt have same lips and nose from her debut impressing career! Lol… She has no talent, and she always act like look at me, im a star, JD choose me!!! And funny how people only have to say is … Shes pretty…. Not the first and not the last pretty girl in hollyweird… But you need more to have a lasting, interesting acting career… Like talent, charisma and personnality!!!! Something she doesnt have!!!!
