Johnny Depp Was Victim of Internet Death Hoax
By wchung | 28 Apr, 2025
A publicist says Johnny Depp is still very much alive after being the subject of an online hoax.
Robin Baum, who represents the 46-year-old actor, said Monday that Internet reports of Depp’s death over the weekend in France were a horrible rumor.
Baum calls the hoax the work of an irresponsible and unconscionable person, especially since children and families are involved.
Depp has two children with his partner, Vanessa Paradis.
