Depp, 59, has been one of the most famous and revered actors in Hollywood, having starred in at least 69 movies throughout his acting career and being the recipient of a number of accolades including a Golden Globe Award, and a Screen Actors Guild Award, besides getting nominated for an Oscar thrice.
From leading epic classics like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Edward Scissorhands to starring in the famous adventure/action series, Pirates of the Caribbean, Depp has done it all. And yet, before the commencement of his defamation case against his ex-wife, Amber Heard, he had about 5.8 million followers on his Instagram.
It was only gradually as the legal proceedings went on that the Alice in Wonderland star earned more recognition on the social media platform with the general public and many other celebrities siding and sympathizing with Depp. Even so, his follower count increased to 10 million over the course of a whole month, unlike Ortega for whom it took mere days.
And while Depp has a total of 27.9 million followers on his Instagram in all his years of glory, Ortega is at 22.1 just after the release of one Netflix show. The Gods of fame really seem to be shining down on Wednesday Addams, it seems.
Wednesday is available for streaming on Netflix.
