Depp’s fans claimed his notable weight loss could be the result of his recent role as a terminal cancer patient in forthcoming film Richard Says Goodbye.
The actor plays a jaded college professor who decides to live his lie with reckless abandon after being given the devastating diagnosis.

It comes as footage emerged of a saucy film trailer showing Depp with his ex, Amber Heard.
The trailer for London Fields shows Heard in a white bikini playing the clairvoyant temptress Nicola Six.
The Martin Amis adaption is due to screen in August after filming was plagued by feuds and the break-up between Depp and Heard.
Depp is pictured in St. Petersburg over the weekend. It is the latest in a string of photographs of the star in which he appears pale and gaunt but despite his drastic new appearance, sources close to him say he is in good health
Concerns about Depp were sparked by two photographs that were taken in St. Petersburg last week.
In them, he appeared smiling with two Russian fans in the lobby of the Four Seasons hotel.
They were posted innocently by the women who appear in them but quickly went viral as others picked up on his stark appearance.
Depp is not believed to be filming for any forthcoming project.
Speculation that his drastic weight loss may have been due to his participation in Fantastic Beasts 2.
The production wrapped in December but Depp had to shave his head and bleach his eyebrows to play Gellert Grindelwald.
Another suggestion was that he looked so different because he was not wearing his signature ‘guyliner’ but in the photographs it appears as though he is just not to the same heavy-handed standard fans may be used to.

Depp is currently touring Europe with his band the Hollywood Vampires.
On Monday night, he will play in Berlin at the Zitadelle museum.
Afterwards, the tour will travel to Sweden, where the band will play two shows, before moving on to Denmark, Finland, Poland, Prague, and Germany before going to the UK at the end of the month.
They will play three shows there then will go back to Germany before finishing in Rome in July.
The tour began on May 17 in upstate New York.
Not long before the St. Petersburg pictures were taken last week, Depp was seen in Moscow posing happily with staff at a state museum after a low-key visit between shows.
They seemed unconcerned about his appearance and happily shared photographs of his visit online.

Possible explanation: Depp shaved his head and bleached his eyebrows to reprise his role as Grindewald in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. It wrapped filming in December and he has scarcely been seen since then . The film comes out in November
In videos of him performing, he appears to be in fine form.
Depp’s shocking appearance comes after a month of accusations of bad behavior including claims of sustained drug abuse and alcoholism.
In a lawsuit against the star filed last month, two former bodyguards described having to act as babysitters for him. One claimed that he had to once wipe a ‘substance’ from the actor’s face in a nightclub.
It was also claimed that he spent the day ‘smoking and drinking’ on the set of City of Lies, formerly known as LAbyrinth, in which Depp plays a LAPD detective investigating the deaths of rappers Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur.

The production wrapped filming last year and Depp was praised by some for his conduct on set including a handful of extras who said he ‘couldn’t have been nicer’.
It was however alleged that he asked a production staffer to punch him during one incident.
According to sources cited by Page Six, Depp allegedly asked the staffer to punch him and said he would give him $100,000 to do so.
His representatives did not comment at the time.
