Johnny Depp Reveals Huge Dental Transformation in New Video

Now, these fans are highlighting his apparent dental work, with one commenting in the video’s replies: “He looks so happy! And healthy, and LOOK, he got his teeth fixed!!!!!”

In 1995, Depp spoke about his dental health, admitting to Premier magazine, “I’ve got loads of cavities… I had a root canal done eight years ago that’s unfinished. It’s like a rotten little stub… But I like it. I’m proud of these.”

In the same interview, the Oscar winner added, “When I see people with perfect teeth, it drives me up the wall. I’d rather swallow a tick than have that!” The magazine noted that Depp’s breath remained odorless despite his habit of chain-smoking cigarettes and sipping merlot.

In 2012, Depp told The LA Times that he insisted on putting gold caps on his teeth to play Captain Jack Sparrow, which Hello magazine speculated might have caused permanent damage to his teeth.

“Jerry [Bruckheimer, producer] was slightly uncomfortable, and the Disney executives weren’t exactly enthusiastic about it… I said, ‘Look, these are the choices I made. You know my work. So either trust me or give me the boot.’ And luckily, they didn’t.”
