Johnny Depp has made his return to the entertainment industry with a bang. His comeback has been acclaimed by his fans; recently, his upcoming period film Jeanne du Barry received a seven-minute standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival. Apart from his acting career, the actor has been the face of Dior fragrances since 2015.

Depp’s return to the business comes after the controversial defamation trial against Amber Heard. Reportedly, following the defamation lawsuit, Depp’s professional relationship with certain film franchises came to a halt. However, Dior always had his back, as he remained its brand ambassador even during the trial.

Actor Johnny Depp has made a massive deal worth reportedly $26.8 million with luxury brand Dior. The Pirates of the Caribbean actor is back with some massive projects. This isn’t the first time Depp has collaborated with Dior. He has been in this business since 2015. This partnership with Dior landed him a fortune reportedly worth US$20 million (S$26.8 million).

The 59-year-old actor has renewed his relationship with the luxury brand by signing a new three-year contract, and apparently, it’s the biggest men’s fragrance pact ever. Depp’s deal with Dior coincided with the opening of his upcoming period film, Jeanne du Barry, at the Cannes Film Festival.

After the defamation trial, the actor’s image was severely affected in Hollywood as film franchises like Pirates of the Caribbean and Fantastic Beasts cut off their professional relationships with the actor. However, Dior didn’t break its ties with Depp and continued its partnership, and later, when his image was cleared as the case was ruled in his favor, his marketability improved drastically. The CEO of Dior’s parent company, LVMH, also claimed that the reason for the product’s success is Depp’s image in the industry.

Moreover, it has also overshadowed Brad Pitt’s contract with the iconic Chanel No. 5 scent.

Hence, Dior and Depp’s collaboration is the biggest pact ever. Johnny Depp has been the face of Dior Sauvage since 2015 and was supported by the brand even during the legal battle with his ex-wife Amber Heard.
