Johnny Depp hasn’t been extensively embraced by very many A-listers in Hollywood since his trial with Amber Heard — however one star’s welcoming him again with open arms … Will Smith.
The two actors had been each on the Red Sea Film Festival in Saudi Arabia this previous week, and so they every walked the carpet individually … as did different massive celebs. But as soon as they received inside, it seems they not solely crossed paths … however introduced it in for the actual factor, all friendly-like.
Interestingly, Will himself posted a pair clips that present him and Johnny hugging and chatting — and though the second is fleeting as a part of his bigger compilation … he did not draw back from it, and he definitely did not attempt to disguise the very fact he palled round with JD.
Now, WS did not explicitly exit of his method to identify Johnny or contact on their meetup in his caption. He merely wrote, “Wow! Thank You Red Sea Film Festival! You have created actual Magic — An Oasis of artwork & creativity! What’s Next? I’m in.”

You even have to look at his submit in full to catch the very fact they frolicked — but it surely’s there, and it is positively fascinating … because it seems he is the primary big-time star to cope with Johnny on this method, particularly post-trial.
Johnny’s “comeback” has been lower than lukewarm — he is appeared in some high-profile campaigns right here and there … however we have not seen him actually splash again onto the Hollywood scene in a significant, mainstream method. Ditto for his ex-wife, BTW … she’s at arm’s size as effectively.
Like we mentioned … Will appears to be like to be the primary actual A-lister who’s accepted Johnny again into the fold — as a way of talking. And, surprisingly sufficient, they do not appear to have any actual historical past … no motion pictures collectively, and so they weren’t previous mates both from what we will inform.
And but, here is Will squeezing Johnny tight with no reservations. Considering Will himself has change into considerably embattled of late — maybe it isn’t as loopy as we predict.
Will did simply say the opposite day that he is on a therapeutic journey and attempting to regulate his outlook on life — and it might appear that begins with not judging others who’ve been labeled a sure method. FWIW, Johnny’s rep remains to be extremely divisive … even after his in-court victory.
In any case, it now appears he is getting a re-evaluation by some contemporaries in showbiz. Now the query … will Amber Heard get a redemption second too sometime???
