Johnny Depp Dons Style and Support: UK Premiere Amidst Legal Drama

Johnny Depp looked typically stylish as he stepped out for the premiere of his new movie Modi: Three Days on the Wing of Madness on Tuesday

SCANDALOUS! Johnny Depp's Glamourous Return to the Big Screen Amid Amber Heard Drama

The sun was shining bright on Tuesday as Hollywood's golden boy, Johnny Depp, stepped out for the UK premiere of his highly-anticipated new film, Modi: Three Days on the Wing of Madness. And let us tell you, the 62-year-old superstar brought his A-game, looking dapper in a dark grey suit, blue-tinged sunglasses, and matching socks!

But what really got our gossip juices flowing was the presence of Al Pacino, Riccardo Scamarcio, Bruno Gouery, and leading lady Antonia Desplat - all part of the star-studded cast that has everyone talking. And Johnny, being the consummate professional he is, posed for photos with his co-stars, including Antonia, who dazzled in a stunning yellow flowing dress.

But amidst the glamour and glitz, we can't help but wonder: what's going on behind the scenes? After all, this isn't the first time Depp has been embroiled in controversy. Remember when he was accused of being a "wife beater" by his ex-wife Amber Heard?

Well, it looks like Johnny is finally putting the drama to rest and focusing on his career. In a recent interview with The Telegraph, he opened up about being "dumped" by Hollywood amid the allegations against him. And let's just say, it sounds like he's still got some serious hurt feelings.

"I'll tell you what hurts," he said. "There are people who did me dirty. Those people were at my kids' parties, throwing them in the air." Ouch! Sounds like someone's still nursing a wounded ego...

But Johnny's not one to dwell on the past. He's now set his sights on his new film, Modi: Three Days on the Wing of Madness - a biographical drama about the Bohemian Italian artist Amedeo Mogigliani. And if the trailer is anything to go by, it looks like this could be Depp's comeback role.

Of course, no red carpet event would be complete without some familiar faces in attendance. And that's exactly what we got when Johnny's pals Ronnie and Sally Wood came out to support their buddy. The 78-year-old Rolling Stones rocker looked typically dapper in a black suit and coordinating tie - a far cry from the scandalous allegations that once surrounded him.

And then there was Eva-Jane Willis, who flashed a hint of her abs in a daring black and white two-piece as she posed for wholesome photos alongside her husband Alex Forsyth. The South African-Irish star has certainly come a long way since her days on the hit TV show FBI International.

As Johnny's new film prepares to hit UK theaters this Friday, it's clear that he's not letting his personal drama get in the way of his art. And with a cast list that includes Al Pacino and Antonia Desplat, we can't wait to see what Modi: Three Days on the Wing of Madness has in store for us.

But let's be real - we're all still waiting for Amber Heard's next move. Will she continue to stir up drama or finally lay low? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: Johnny Depp is back, and he's ready to take on Hollywood once again!
