A fan of Johnny Depp recently posted pictures and videos of the actor, highlighting how much his teeth have improved. This was previously a source of worry for his admirers.
The source of the post is a bartender named @killerbartender on social media who works at Lorraine’s Cafe & High Tide in the Bahamas.
His most recent video of Depp captured the attention of fans who were delighted to see the actor’s teeth, which looked much healthier than they had in the past.
Depp might be seen sampling one of the bartender’s concoctions in the footage. The actor gave the drink high marks and gave the bartender a comic tip, saying, “You better copyright this immediately.”

The video snippets also featured Depp standing next to an artwork that featured him as the well-known Pirates of the Caribbean figure Captain Jack Sparrow.
With many followers concentrating on the actor’s better appearance—particularly his teeth—the post soon gained attention.
“Def had dental work done! Looks amazing,” a follower said, expressing what many others have been thinking.
“Is it [me] or do his teeth look more straight?” inquired a different admirer.
An onlooker also mentioned that his teeth seemed “brighter than ever before.”
A user on Instagram said it best when they wrote, “Hey, new teeth! He looks fantastic :).
Some people on X (previously Twitter) conjectured that Depp’s prior teeth problems are the reason he wears dentures now.
“Johnny Depp’s natural teeth are obviously destroyed, thus he now wears dentures. Or he most likely had a tooth infection and had them all out,” a commenter speculated in response to his altered smile.
The first video that @killerbartender posted featured Depp having dinner with friends and then posing for photos with two admirers in front of the Captain Jack Sparrow artwork.
Bartender Rap Rap Zoilo recorded his late-night meeting with the star in Exuma and shared it in a second, longer video that was uploaded later. In the video, Zoilo repeatedly shook hands with the 61-year-old Depp while the actor spoke with other customers. Zoilo shared his enthusiasm at having the “once-in-a-lifetime moment” with the Hollywood icon.
The debate over Depp’s teeth is not brand-new. Fans voiced their disapproval in May 2023 after pictures of his decaying teeth from his Cannes Film Festival attendance appeared online.

People expressed their worries on social media at the time, with one user tweeting, “Johnny Depp’s teeth are literally rotting away.” This remark was made in relation to a photo of the actor attending the “Jeanne du Barry” screening at the 76th Cannes Film Festival in France, when his teeth were obviously decaying and brown.
It’s interesting to note that this wasn’t the first controversy over Depp’s dental decisions. In order to completely inhabit the persona of Captain Jack Sparrow, actor Johnny Depp took the risky choice in 2003 to have gold crowns implanted on his front teeth.
Disney executives and producer Jerry Bruckheimer were taken aback by his decision, since they were first uneasy with the appearance. “It was a little awkward for Jerry, and the Disney executives weren’t exactly thrilled about it,” Depp said in a Los Angeles Times interview.
He told them, “Look, these are the choices I made,” but he stood by his choice. You are aware of my work. So either put your trust in me or let me go. Fortunately, they didn’t. Even though he made concessions by taking off a few of the gold hats, Depp’s commitment to the character contributed to his renowned interpretation of the daring pirate.
Whether or whether he has decaying teeth, Johnny Depp is still a well regarded personality in Hollywood despite the differing views over the years!
