Some of the fans said that they are hoping that the actor intentionally lost weight to prepare for a movie, but his most recent movie role where he plays a terminally ill cancer patient was for "Richard Says Goodbye," which reportedly wrapped up production last year.
The Hollywood Reporter noted that Depp made the news since last year due to several legal issues, including the one with TMG, his former management company. He accused them of mishandling almost $40 million of his hard-earned money by collecting unapproved fees as well as letting him incur penalties because they failed to pay his taxes. They also reportedly loaned millions of his money without his authority. The management firm filed a counter-charge against him, saying that he was the one who mishandled his finances.
He also had to deal with a divorce proceeding last year from his ex-wife Amber Heard, who also accused him of physical abuse. He had to pay the "Justice League" actress with a $7 million divorce settlement, which she later on donated to charity.
The actor was also rumored to have excessive drinking and drug abuse problems. In another case filed against him, his former security guards, who claimed that he did not pay them when they were still employed, said that they were working in a "toxic" environment and had to protect Depp from himself.
Yahoo! News also mentioned that in November 2017, the actor seemed to be having a hard time answering and slurring his words during his guesting on the Graham Norton Show to promote the remake of "Murder on the Orient Express."
He was also reportedly involved in an altercation with a crew member of his upcoming film "Labyrinth." According to a report from The New York Post's Page Six, the "drunk" actor tried to punch the film's location manager and even dared the staff that he will pay him $100,000 if he can punch him.
However, film director Brad Furman claimed that the incident was taken out of proportion.
"Johnny Depp is a consummate professional, great collaborator and a supporter of other artists," the director said in a statement. "He always treats the crew and people around him with the utmost respect. Movies can be stressful, and non-events often become exaggerated. We all love stories — there isn't one here," he went on to say.
Although, another fan weighed in on the controversial photos, saying that he just saw Depp and his band, the Hollywood Vampires, perform in Hamburg, Germany. The fain claimed that Depp did not look pale and unhealthy during that time.
Depp and the Hollywood Vampires, composed of other famous musicians such as Aerosmith's Joe Perry and Alice Cooper, are currently on tour, playing in various places around the world, including Poland and the UK.
Depp has yet to comment on the reports regarding his health.
