It’s not quite the disheveled ‘do he had when he was THE ultimate heartthrob of the 1990s, but Johnny Depp’s brand-spanking new hairstyle comes close. The actor was spotted in Vincigliata Castle in Florence, Italy, deep in conversation with a blonde woman. But let’s not get sidetracked by mystery women — the real jaw-dropper here is Depp’s decision to head to his barber and part ways with his flowing locks after over half a decade of rocking them. The last sighting of him with anything resembling a short haircut was on the “City of Lies” set, which was pretty much forever ago.
The jury is out as to why he’s in Florence, but it may have something to do with the movie he’s directing titled “Modi,” co-starring Al Pacino. The flick reportedly follows the story of Amedeo Modigliani, an Italian artist famed for his nude paintings. Depp credits Pacino for nudging him to take on the project, his first directorial gig since the 1990s. “To Al, who requested that I make this film — how could I refuse Pacino?” he told ET. “Embarking on this cinematic journey as the director of Modi has been an incredibly fulfilling and transformative experience. I would like to express my profound gratitude to the entire cast, crew, and producers for their unwavering commitment and creativity.”
