- Johnny Depp appears in Rihanna's latest Savage X Fenty fashion show.
- In his 40-second appearance, Depp struts in a forest to OutKast's "So Fresh, So Clean."
- Rihanna has faced criticism for including Depp in her show after his trial against Amber Heard.
Johnny Depp's appearance in Rihanna's Savage X Fenty Show Vol. 4 lasts just 40 seconds.
Rihanna's annual fashion show premiered on Amazon Prime Video on Wednesday, and the event featured A-list celebrities like Sheryl Lee Ralph, Anitta, and Taylour Paige modeling Savage X Fenty clothes.
The production also includes a scene starring Depp.
About 20 minutes into the production, the camera cuts to Depp standing in front of a tree.
He stares down the camera as he struts through a forest, wearing a Savage X Fenty robe, matching pants, and a checked top with a low neckline, as well as an array of necklaces and a chain on his waist.
The actor walks to OutKast's "So Fresh, So Clean."
The appearance only lasts 40 seconds, and it's one of the few scenes in the production that truly feels like a model walking on a catwalk, as much of the show has people dancing or singing.
Depp maintains eye contact with the camera as he struts, ending his brief appearance by hugging a tree.
Rihanna has faced backlash for choosing to include Depp in her production in light of the controversial trial he was involved with earlier this year.
For instance, Olly Alexander, who has modeled Savage X Fenty clothes in the past, quote tweeted the news that Depp would be in Rihanna's show with a sad face, and when a fan responded that he "wears" Fenty "so well," Alexander responded, "thank you but after this news I won't be wearing it anymore."
Depp sued his ex-wife Amber Heard for defamation because of a 2018 op-ed she wrote for The Washington Post in which she implied Depp had emotionally and physically abused her.
Depp denied Heard's claims and said in the complaint that his ex-wife was not a "victim of domestic abuse" but a "perpetrator."
A jury found both Heard and Depp liable for defamation against each other in June 2022. Depp was awarded $15 million in damages, while Heard was awarded $2 million.
Depp's role in the Savage X Fenty show is not the actor's first public appearance since the trial ended. In recent months, Depp has returned to promoting a fragrance for Dior, landed a directing role, and appeared in MTV's VMAs.
