Johnny Depp Appears Gaunt, Frail In Shocking New Photos

One of the many, many perks of being a world-famous movie star is getting to spend time with your idols.


And so, Johnny Depp has lived with Hunter S. Thompson and jammed with Keith Richards.


Unfortunately, it looks like all those decades of keeping pace with the world’s hardest partiers is beginning to take a toll on Johnny.



That’s a photo of Depp that was posted online by a fan this week.


The actor appears considerably more gaunt than usual, and fans took notice in a major way.


Depp was in Russia, touring with his band, the Hollywood Vampires, and he posed for pics with fans who likely shelled out quite a few rubles for the opportunity.


Not surprisingly, those fans then posted the images to their social media accounts.


And as with past Russian Facebook activity, the effects of the posts were immediately felt on a global scale.


Depp quickly became a trending topic, with some fans expressing concern and others dismissing those concerns.


 
Johnny Depp Is Thin


“He looks pale here. Hope he’s okay,” commented one IG user.


“Johnny Depp looks so bad, omg, is he ill or something?” wrote another.


“Please please tell me that Johnny Depp is just prepping for a movie and not that he is sick cause he doesn’t look so good here,” remarked.


“He looks like is this for a new movie. He is fine and not sick,” wrote another fan, who may be onto something.


Depp has several new films set for release, including the Harry Potter spinoff The Crimes of Grindelwald, and City of Lies, in which he plays an LAPD officer investigating the murders of Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G.


It’s unlikely that either of those movies necessitated any sort of physical transformation from Depp, but a more low-profile project entitled Richard Says Goodbye may have required Depp to shed some pounds.



According to a description of the film, Depp plays “a world-weary college professor” who receives a “life-changing diagnosis.”


Based on that description and the title of the project, we’re guessing that diagnosis isn’t seasonal allergies.


Depp defenders are clinging to the “it’s for a role” defense, but as many have pointed out, it’s equally possible that the actor’s lifestyle is simply catching up to him. 


Depp will turn 55 next week, and he’s shown little interest in putting his hedonistic ways behind him.


In fact, according to a pair of recent lawsuits, he’s going at it harder than ever.


Depp is being sued by his management team in response to the allegations that the firm nearly bankrupted him.



In one court document, attorneys claim that Depp’s many wild expenditures included spending $ 30,000 a month on wine.


In a separate lawsuit, Depp is being sued by two former bodyguards for creating a “toxic and unsafe” work environment.


The former employees allege that one of their many bizarre job responsibilities was ensuring that there was no cocaine residue on Depp’s face during public appearances.


Like so many others, we’re hoping that Johnny’s frail appearance these days is the result of method acting, not health issues.


Fortunately, fans can take heart in the assurances of audience members on Depp’s current tour who claim he appears to be in good spirits — and good health.


“Just saw #JohnnyDepp in concert in Hamburg. He looks healthy, happy and he had so much fun. … How pictures can deceive an impression,” wrote one such fan.


Reps for Johnny have declined to comment on the situation.

Val Kilmer: Actor"s Gaunt Appearance Sparks Cancer Rumors

Back in February of 2015, several media outlets reported that Val Kilmer was on his deathbed.


The actor was reportedly suffering from throat cancer, and several insiders insisted  that his condition had been exacerbated by his Christian Scientist beliefs, which prevented him from undergoing necessary medical procedures.


Clearly, either Kilmer’s condition was exaggerated or he made a miraculous recovery, because two years later, the beloved screen icon is still standing – but some continue to maintain that he’s on his last legs.



Kilmer appeared at an event in Los Angeles last week to promote his one-man show Citizen Twain, which has reportedly been put on indefinite hiatus due to the actor’s health issues.


Kilmer canceled a tour of the show back in November and has yet to reschedule.


The event on February 9 marked his first public appearance in several weeks.


Sadly, those in attendance say the actor appeared pale and gaunt, and was unable to stand while addressing the audience (as prior speakers had) and seemed to run out of breath while speaking.


“He performs as the ghost of Mark Twain in the show, but even as a dead man he looked ten times better than he does now,” one attendee told Radar Online.



The witness added:


“The difference between Val three years ago and him on stage now is both shocking and heartbreaking.”


“He could barely stand, he had to sit down to talk,” said another audience member.


“He was gasping for breath and he’s lost about half his body weight. His face has such deep lines on it and he appears so fragile. It is so sad to see such a huge talent so humbled.”



Kilmer’s sallow appearance and long disappearances from the spotlight have led to numerous rumors about his declining health.


Back in November, the actor’s longtime friend Michael Douglas confirmed that Kilmer has cancer.


Kilmer issued a statement saying that he is fond of Douglas, but that Douglas is telling tales out of school:


“Whatever led Michael Douglas to speculate about my health, he’s a loving and devoted friend to a privileged group of talented people,” Kilmer said.


“I’m sure he meant no harm.”



The elegiac tone of Citizen Twain has led some fans to speculate that it’s meant to serve as Kilmer’s swan song:


“The first half of the show is very funny, but the second half is a lot more reflective,” says one audience member.


“It’s very philosophical in places and deals with some big questions.”


Our thoughts go out to Kilmer and his family.

Chris Brown: Gaunt Appearance Prompts Drug Rumors

Chris Brown has a long history of treating other people badly.


But based on his latest photos some fans think the one he’s been abusing lately is himself. Oh, and drugs. They also think he’s abusing drugs:



We know Chris loves weed, but his recent weight loss has many wondering if he’s hitting harder stuff these days.


Brown has been to rehab in the past, but it was court-ordered and he’s always maintained that he doesn’t suffer from any addiction issues.


In fact, he went back to partying – hard – right after he finished his most recent stint:



So it’s not too outlandish to think that Chris has bigger issues with booze and drugs than he admits (or is aware of).


The combination of his gaunt appearance and slightly drooping eyelids have many fans wondering if Breezy is sipping on the sizzurp lately.


Of course, it’s possible Chris has been dieting and/or that he was a bit tired at his latest appearance.


No one knows for sure, but at this point, no one really puts anything past the singer, either.


Finding out that Chris Brown is a fiend for the lean wouldn’t even crack the top on the list of most troubling things about him.


Chris has yet to comment on this latest round of rumors, but you can be certain he’s going to at some point.


This is a guy who compulsively shares his thoughts on feuds that don’t involve him.


He’s certainly not going to bite his tongue about speculation that he’s wasting away due to addiction.

Val Kilmer Emerges Looking Gaunt After Life-Saving Surgery

In October of 2015, beloved actor Val Kilmer was hospitalized and rumored to be near death as a result of a tumor in his throat for which he had reportedly refused traditional treatments.



Sources say Kilmer, a devout Christian Scientist, was working with an expert who promised to help him “talk and meditate” his way back to health.


After several months of concealing his neck with a handkerchief (as in the photograph above) Kilmer eventually disappeared from the public eye altogether.


He was fitted with a tracheostomy tube in December, and several insiders say it cost the 56-year-old the ability to speak.


Reps for Kilmer have offered very little with regard to news of his health, but they have dispelled the rumor that he can no longer talk.


Sources claim that in January, Kilmer underwent a life-saving surgery, and while his reps neither confirmed not denied that an emergency procedure took place, the actor was not seen in public for several months afterward.


In fact, it was just yesterday that Kilmer was photographed by paparazzi for the first time in nearly six months.


The surgery reportedly removed a several tumors that had spread to Kilmer’s lymph nodes. 


The latest photos of Val show him walking under his own power without any visible scarring. 


However, many fans have noted that Kilmer seems to have lost a frightening amount of weight.


Kilmer, who was sadly chided for his weight gain in the months before news of his health troubles went public, now appears astonishingly gaunt.


It’s unclear if the actor’s weight loss is related to his cancer treatment, but the newest photos of Val have done little to allay fans’ concerns about his health.


Whatever the case, it seems that Val has received or is currently receiving treatment for his health.


We wish him all the best and hope to see the man who wowed with countless memorable performances return to the big screen in the very near future.
