A cellar, candlesticks, a barrel… This is the setting in which Johnny Depp recorded his first video on the social network Instagram. The actor joined the social network on Thursday, April 16. He published an eight-minute video in which he half-heartedly evokes the Amber Heard controversy. Small recap for those who have not followed everything of the soap opera. The actor, divorced from the model since 2017, had filed a complaint for defamation against his ex-wife, who accuses him of domestic violence. Johnny Depp took the time to thank his subscribers for their moral support at the end of this video:

"I don't think I've ever felt the particular need to do it so far. But this is a good time for dialogue to begin, as the threat of this invisible enemy (here the coronavirus) has caused immeasurable tragedies and impacted people's lives."
Subsequently, Johnny Depp took the opportunity to ask his new subscribers to "take care of each other" in this more than difficult time. He went on to talk about the consequences of the pandemic:
"Some have lost their jobs. Not only their work, but also their main source of income. Some have also lost their businesses, which they have worked long to maintain."
Johnny Depp also spoke of those who did not have access to care and homeless people, "without the possibility of confining themselves". He also addressed the boredom felt by his fellow citizens during this period of quarantine:
"I know that, at the moment, it feels like your hands are tied. And somehow, they are. But our minds are free and our hearts are not chained."

"Create something today that will benefit you and others tomorrow."
That's well said! Johnny Depp also opened up about his children's memories he had with Vanessa Paradis, Lily-Rose, 20, and Jack, 18:
"I remember very well when they were little. There were times when they would come up to me and say, "Hey, Dad, I'm bored." I told them, "You can't get bored, there's always something to do, always. Draw, read, paint, think, make a film, play an instrument (…) ""
In this video already viewed more than 2.1 million times, Johnny Depp also announced the release of his new song, a cover of John Lennon's Isolation. This song had been recorded several months before the epidemic. So let's welcome Johnny to Instagram!
