Johnny Depp fans are praying for the actor after he suffered a ‘painful’ injury.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star, 59, has starred in a number of blockbuster films such as Edward Scissorhands and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Following his high-profile defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard, Depp is set to make his comeback in the French film Jeanne du Barry.
While this is a big deal for the Alice in Wonderland star, it seems promoting the movie has had an impact on his health.
Hear what Johnny Depp’s co-stars have said about what it is like to work with him below…
According to TMZ, Depp injured his ankle while doing press for the film at Cannes Film Festival – where his performance as King Louis XV received a seven-minute standing ovation.
The outlet adds that he further injured it while he was performing tribute gigs for his late friend Jeff Beck – who passed away in early 2023.
Depp has now fractured his ankle which has led to his band, The Hollywood Vampires, cancelling a number of their concerts.
The band confirmed this in an Instagram post, where they announced that their shows in Boston, New Hampshire and New York have been postponed.
