Johnny Depp is turning heads with a jaw-dropping new look for his latest film, Day Drinker. The 61-year-old actor appears virtually unrecognizable in the first image released by Lionsgate, sparking a frenzy among fans who are loving the transformation.
Gone is Depp’s signature bohemian style — in its place is a refined silver-haired gentleman, complete with a thick grey beard, striking blue eyes, and a tailored blue suit. Pictured leaning casually against a bar with a cocktail in hand and a thoughtful expression, Depp’s “silver fox” makeover has already made waves online.
“Johnny Depp absolutely rocking the silver fox look during filming of Day Drinker! This movie is going to be amazing!” one fan gushed.
Others echoed the excitement, with comments like, “Who knew Johnny Depp would look this good with grey hair and a beard?” and “He does look nice with this glow-up.”
The look has drawn comparisons to iconic characters, with many likening him to the suave “Most Interesting Man in the World” from the Dos Equis commercials. “He looks like he’s playing the Dos Equis guy… and I’m kinda here for it,” joked one user. Another chimed in, “Is this secretly a Stay thirsty, my friends origin story?”
Some fans couldn’t help but connect his transformation to his previous role as Gellert Grindelwald in the Fantastic Beasts franchise. “Grindelwald vibes!” one account posted, while another lamented, “They never should’ve taken Grindelwald from us.”
Social media is calling this Depp’s official “Silver Fox Era” — and they’re loving it. “We are entering the Silver Fox era of Johnny Depp, and I am 100% on board,” one comment read.
While many applauded Depp’s bold reinvention, others gave credit where it’s due — to the film’s hair, makeup, and costume teams. “Shoutout to the makeup department for this insane transformation,” one fan wrote. “The man becomes a new character with every role.”
With such buzz already surrounding Day Drinker, Depp’s latest role is shaping up to be one of his most visually striking yet — and fans can’t wait to see more.
