After a period of maintaining a low profile following the controversial and highly publicized trial against his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard, Johnny Depp is preparing for his return to Hollywood. This judicial process, which was broadcast live on Youtube, affected the actor's career, leading many production companies to withdraw job offers.
Depp returns to the big screen with the film Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol, a new version of the classic A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. In this production, the actor plays Ebenezer Scrooge, a solitary businessman who hates Christmas and receives a visit from spirits, including that of his former partner, Jacob Marlely.
The first images from the filming, directed by Ti West in London, have shown a completely unrecognizable Johnny Depp. The makeup and characterization team used facial prosthetics to age the actor's face, featuring a more drooping and curved nose, and many more wrinkles. His eyebrows and hair have also been modified, now appearing much grayer.
Is this real?
This surprising change of image has generated a large number of reactions on social media. Many followers highlighted Depp's ability to completely transform himself for iconic roles, recalling characters such as the emblematic Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean or the unforgettable Edward Scissorhands, which defined his career.
