Johnny Depp has come a long way from the defamation trial and Charlize Theron is looking forward to supporting the actor even more. While the actor is slowly re-establishing himself in Hollywood, it would all purely depends on how the audience receives Jeanne du Barry. The world saw a side of the actor none ever expected to see.

Charlize Theron Interacts With A Pro-Depp Comment
In an article published by Time, there was a strong focus on how time hasn’t been kind to Johnny Depp throughout the years. His trial with Amber Heard took everything out of him, yet he chose to stand strong for his truth, a choice that helped him win the case ultimately. The article reflected on how things had been for the actor and even though he chose to come back to the movie, the pain and turmoil he had to go through is evident on his face.
“To see him looking as if all the life has been sucked out of him—not to mention the creeping jowlishness, the deepening frown lines, and other physical indignities that come with getting older—is akin to watching a bird fall from the sky, though birds, unlike men, don’t bring about their own downfall.”
The article showed a special concentration on how he had aged both mentally and physically. The pain is so evident in his face and his eyes that it truly becomes obvious how unkind the world has been to him. Charlize Theron happened to be one of the only, in fact, the only celebrity to have liked that article via a post, leaning towards Depp against Amber Heard.
