'The Pirates of the Caribbean' actor is prioritizing health much more these days. With weight loss, he is also now more healthy.

Johnny Depp is open to anything 

The actor is also open to exploring new opportunities. “He’s really open to anything. It’s kind of like a ‘never say never.’ There are no closed doors,” the source explained.

“If there’s a role that comes along that he’s incredibly passionate about, of course he’s going to look into it,” the source further revealed.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's legal trouble 

Johnny Depp, 60, faced a tough time after he and his former wife, Amber Heard, 38, fought a bitter legal fight.

They both accused each other of being abusive after their marriage, which lasted for 15 months, ended in 2016.

In 2022, Johnny Depp won a big court case about defamation against Amber Heard.

When he showed his new French movie 'Jeanne du Barry' at the Cannes Film Festival last year, he was met with a rapturous reception.

"There’s been a release of the old and embarking on this new chapter. He’s feeling better about where he is in life," the source said, adding, "There’s no animosity toward anybody."

In addition to his acting endeavors, Depp is also returning to the director’s chair after more than 25 years with the film 'Modi' starring Al Pacino.

This passion project, along with his music, painting, and other creative endeavors, keeps him “in really good spirits," added the source.
