Johnny Depp followers got a glimpse of him on August 30, 2024, when Lorraine’s Cafe & High Tide’s bartender, who calls himself @killerbartender, shared the footage. The actor’s fans were amazed by how his appearance had changed from rotten to healthy-looking.

Depp was shown tasting one of the Bahamas bartender’s creations and loved the concoction so much that he advised, “You better copyright this immediately.”

An image in the carousel also showed the actor posing next to the artwork of him as Captain Jack Sparrow from the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise.

A follower who saw the bartender’s second video of Depp wrote, “Def got his teeth done! Looks so good.” Someone else, also focused on his teeth, questioned, “Is it [me] or do his teeth look more straight? (sic)”

A third person thought his teeth looked “brighter than ever before,” and in agreement, an Instagram user wrote, “Hello new teeth! He looks great :).”

A netizen on X had a more detailed opinion on Depp’s pearly whites and stated, “Johnny Depp wears dentures now because his real teeth are clearly damaged. Or he probably got a tooth infection and had them all pulled.”

In the first video, Depp was also recorded sharing a meal with friends before posing with two fans by the same Sparrow artwork. The bartender, also known as Rap Rap Zoilo, uploaded the same video in a second Instagram post, but this one had extended footage.

In it, Zoilo talked to the celebrity behind the bar in the post that revealed their interaction happened at 1:41 a.m. in Exuma. The bartender also shook hands with the 61-year-old star several times, and Depp engaged with some patrons.

Zoilo was thrilled about meeting the celebrity, noting, “jacksparrow meets the killerbartender of exuma bahamas once in a lifetime moments with mr jonhny Depp (sic).”

This wasn’t the first time that Depp’s teeth were the subject of discussion. In May 2023, a publication shared comments from netizens who criticized the star’s then-rotting teeth.

The post was captioned, “Fans repulsed by #JohnnyDepp’s brown, ‘rotting’ teeth at the #CannesFilmFestival.”

An example of the types of comments the celebrity received included one in September 2023, where an X user wrote, “Johnny Depp’s teeth are literally rotting away.” The post included a photo of Depp with his hair slicked back, wearing sunglasses, and a suit.

His teeth were on display as he had his mouth partially open. At the time, he was attending the “Jeanne du Barry” screening and opening ceremony at the 76th annual Cannes Film Festival at Palais des Festivals in France.

The actor has altered the way his teeth look before. In 2003, when Disney Studios wanted to create a movie based on its “Pirates of the Caribbean” park ride, Depp went above and beyond to embody the Sparrow character. He shocked Disney executives and the film’s producer Jerry Bruckheimer when he got gold caps placed on his front teeth!

The actor recalled, “Jerry was slightly uncomfortable and the Disney executives weren’t exactly enthusiastic about it.” He told them, “‘Look, these are the choices I made. You know my work. So either trust me or give me the boot.’ And luckily, they didn’t.” Yet, Johnny Depp still compromised with them by uncapping a few of his teeth.
