Johnny Depp was the centre of attention at the Cannes Film Festival — but it wasn’t just his performance in Jeanne Du Barry that had people talking.

Photos of the controversial actor walking the red carpet on Tuesday quickly took the internet by storm, with many fans focused on his “rotting” teeth, reports Page Six.

“Johnny Depp’s teeth are literally ROTTING,” one fan wrote alongside photos of the actor.

“Johnny Depp’s new movie, #JeanneDuBarry, debuts with a metacritic score of 51, an F rating,” another added.

“The score is currently as yellow as his teeth. Congratulations!”

“Why do I have to see close-up pics of Johnny Depp’s teeth against my will,” a disturbed user asked, while a fourth said, “Johnny Depp just looks like someone grabbed his teeth and painted them black.”

“Seeing that pic of Johnny Depp’s teeth on my tl just ruined my mood. That’s enough Twitter for me,” another chimed in.

Although Twitter users weren’t thrilled by Depp’s appearance at the film festival, moviegoers couldn’t get enough of him.

Following the premiere of his French biographical drama, the actor received a seven-minute standing ovation.

According to Variety, Depp held back tears as those in attendance broke out into prolonged cheers for his performance as King Louis XV.

Yet not everyone was as pleased with Depp’s presence at the French festival.

The Pirates of the Caribbean actor has remained out of the public eye ever since winning his highly publicised defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard, who accused him of abuse.

Heard’s longtime friend, journalist Eve Barlow, protested his inclusion in the festival, saying organisers were “supporting rapists and abusers.”

Thankfully for Barlow, Depp says he has no intentions to return to Hollywood after being ostracised amid his legal battle.

“Do I feel boycotted now?” Depp told reporters on Tuesday.

“No, not at all. But I don’t feel boycotted, because I don’t think about Hollywood. I don’t feel much further need for Hollywood.”
