Johnny rose to popularity in the '80s thanks to the TV series '21 Jump Street'. His acting skills have been praised and so have his looks that left his fans squealing in delight. Over the years, as he took on different, unconventional roles, he also changed his looks to suit his character. In the movies, 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory', 'Pirates of the Carribean', 'Edward Scissorhands' and 'Dark Shadows', the actor was almost unrecognizable.

According to The Mirror, some people also claimed that he had lost a lot of his earlier sharper features and he looked "fuller" somehow. A lot of people also speculated that his drug problem and drinking was behind his so-called "haggardly" appearance. As per the publication, Johnny said in December 2019, "It has been well reported and I have been open about my challenges with alcoholism and addiction throughout my life." 

However, there are rumors that Johnny underwent plastic surgery. His ex-wife Amber Heard has also been accused of altering her appearance because of a very apparent change in her face indicating a nose job.  

TikToker and plastic surgeon Dr Anthony Youn analyzed Johnny's facial features in a video in May. "There are rumors he has had hair transplants but it's not real obvious. And if he has done it's quite modest. His eyes don't appear to have changed. He may have had some filler injections into his cheeks but again pretty conservative. His nose looks like it might be a touch shorter so rhinoplasty is a possibility but I doubt it. So I would say Johnny Depp is pretty real and not sus," he stated.
