Johnny Depp Had A Major Lifestyle Change?
Insiders have it that the “aging” Pirates of the Caribbean actor have stopped the booze binges, chain-smoking and wild benders. The alleged wholesome U-turn of Amber Heard’s former husband follows the untimely death of guitar god Jeff in January at age 78 after becoming infected with bacterial meningitis.
An unnamed source said:
“Jeff was like a brother to Johnny, and his passing knocked the wind out of his sails. It rammed it him that he can’t play Russian roulette with his health anymore.”
The same tipster added:
“He’s had to dig deep and embrace this very dramatic change, which he’s smart enough to know is totally necessary if he wants to stick around!”
Tattlers divulged cutting back on smoking and drinking is just part of Johnny’s new deal – that he has also dropped greasy snacks in favor of salads and veggies and enjoys long hikes on the grounds of his sprawling estate in Somerset, U.K.

One informant told National Enquirer:
“He’ll still enjoy a glass of wine or pint of beer, and it’s taking a while to kick smoking because he’s trying to cut back slowly. But Johnny’s way healthier now. It’s getting better all the time, and he’s really reaping the benefits!”
Johnny jammed with Yardbirds legend Jeff Beck for years and counted him a close personal pal. The Black Mass actor was even front and center at his mentor’s funeral in England alongside a myriad of celebrity friends like Tom Jones, David Gilmour, Rod Stewart, Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton.
The Mortdecai star’s decision to immerse himself in music under Jeff’s guidance followed his stunning court victory over his former ladylove, Amber Heard. An insider suggested:
“Johnny loves the fresh country air and says it’s a perfect place to turn his unhealthy lifestyle around. He says he’s got a whole lot of life left to enjoy.”
Johnny Depp Interested In Buying A Pub?

The Spalding family, including Melissa Spalding, who has been dating Paul since 2019, has owned the place for several years. Earlier this month, the historic site in The Street had been listed on Rightmove for around $1,099,000.
The Chequers reportedly has a total of seven rooms, a 35-cover bar, a 37-cover restaurant with a pizza oven, and a large two-bedroom owner’s accommodation. It was previously divulged that Johnny had been a “huge fan” of the boozer.
One source claimed:
"Johnny loves the history and has spoken before about wanting to buy a pub. It’s right in the heart of the English countryside. It’s right up his street.”
Johnny Depp has yet to comment on the claims that he has stopped his vices because he is afraid of death. So, devoted followers of Amber Heard’s ex-husband should take all these unverified reports with a huge grain of salt until everything is proven true and correct.
