Johny Depp Hits 2.5M Followers On Tiktok Without A Single Post

After his recent legal victory in his defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard, American actor Johnny Depp has opened a TikTok account. The Pirates of the Caribbean star joined the popular video-sharing platform as @johnnydepp, garnering over 2.6 million followers as of Tuesday. “Occasional Thespian” is how the 58-year-old describes himself on his bio, but he is yet to share or like any video. He does not follow anyone on the platform, either.

Ms. Heard, who herself has starred in films such as Aquaman, called herself a 'public figure representing domestic abuse,' without mentioning Depp’...
