Throughout his life Johnny Depp has stayed under constant public view because of both his legendary movie roles and his public relationships that seem to haunt his every move.
Since his breakout role in Edward Scissorhands until his present courtroom battles the 61-year-old actor places himself in constant public view no matter his intentions to do so or not.
Because Depp made his reputation as a person who guarded his privacy intensely he became infamous for his numerous public controversies especially those involving romantic relationships.
The 20-year partnership between Depp and Vanessa Paradis remained private until their divorce in 2012 while they parented their two children including actress Lily-Rose Depp.
The conclusion of his marriage to actress Amber Heard became a worldwide sensation because the union quickly devolved into a highly sensationalized legal struggle.
Depp and Heard connected on the set of The Rum Diary in 2009 then married in 2015 until their relationship split in a single year leading to their divorce followed by his high-profile defamation lawsuit against her in 2022.
A jury accepted Depp’s defamation claims against Heard when she composed her piece for Washington Post without specifying his name.
The actor spends most of his time now quietly building his reputation through concerts with Jeff Beck and film festival appearances.
Recent romantic rumors about the actor have sparked widespread interest among his followers following the spread of photographs and subtle hints through online platforms.
The Instagram black-and-white picture between Yulia Vlasova from Prague and Depp made his fans start wondering about his relationship status.
The photograph shows Depp hugging Vlasova as he offers a light-hearted humor gesture by extending his middle finger to the lens.
Though the post was later deleted, eagle-eyed fans took screenshots and began connecting the dots, especially after Vlasova answered a Q&A about her favorite actor with a simple โJD.โ
Plzeล hosted the 55th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in 2021 and this became the setting where Vlasova as a stylist met Depp who attended as a guest honoree.
According to People, sources close to the pair say theyโre not officially labeling their relationship, though theyโve reportedly seen each other โhere and thereโ for the last two years.
An insider shared that Depp is โreally too busyโ for romance right now, while another source described the relationship as โcasual.โ
Fans have been talking because Vlasova shares many physical characteristics with Depp’s former wife Amber Heard despite being in her late twenties.
Social media users have pointed out similarities in their facial features, hairstyle, and even their mannerisms, with comments like โShe looks like an Amber Heard replicaโ circulating widely.
This unexpected resemblance has left many fans uncomfortable, with one person writing: โIn some pics, she reminds me a bit of Amber Heardโฆโ while another added, โShe has the same type of look.โ
People find the significant age difference between them to be contentious. Internet users displayed awkward reactions because Depp is 61 while Vlasova appears to be several decades younger than him.
โJohnny should find someone his own age, not another younger woman like Amber Heard,โ one user remarked.
Many people expressed their doubts since Vlasova seems old enough to be his child but insisted he remains an excellent actor.
The media has hinted about a relationship between Depp and Vlasova yet neither party has made an official statement and the two actors keep their personal lives confidential.
Numerous observation points such as festival encounters along with Instagram posts removals and striking likeness between the two have persuaded fans to draw a disturbing conclusion.
Numerous fans have noticed too many uncanny resemblances between Johnny Depp’s present relationship with Yulia Vlasova along with his previous attempts at romance.
