According to TMZ, Depp will make a guest appearance in the singer’s hotly anticipated show, participating in one of the celebrity segments, which has in the past included Cindy Crawford and others.
TMZ reports that Depp, 59, will wear items from the men’s collection, making him the first male to take on the role in Savage X Fenty show history.
The TMZ report says Rihanna and her team “invited” Depp to participate and they were both “ecstatic to make it happen.”
In response to PEOPLE’s request for comment, neither Savage X Fenty nor Depp has responded, There is no mention of Depp in the trailer for Savage X Fenty Show Vol. 4
The festival previously announced performances by Anitta, Burna Boy, Don Toliver, and Maxwell, as well as special appearances by Angela Aguilar, Avani Gregg, Bella Poarch, Cara Delevingne, Damson Idris, Irina Shayk, Joan Smalls, Kornbread, Lara Stone, Lilly Singh, Marsai Martin, Precious Lee, Rickey Thompson, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Simu Liu, Taraji P. Henson, Taylour Paige, Winston Duke, Zach Miko, and many others, according to a press release.
Johnny Depp’s appearance at Savage X Fenty follows his surprise appearance at the MTV VMAs, following his defamation trial with Amber Heard.
He made a brief appearance in the show’s opening, with his face digitally superimposed on a floating moon person’s helmet.
Johnny Depp appeared again as the show returned from commercial, quipping, “Hey VMAs, let’s get back to the f-ing music, shall we?”,” Depp told the crowd at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
Heard’s appearance comes months after a jury sided mostly with Johnny Depp in a case that found she defamed him in her 2018 Washington Post op-ed on domestic violence, even though she did not mention him by name. He won more than $10 million in damages, while Heard won $2 million on one of her three defamation countersuit claims.
When Heard officially appealed the verdict, Johnny Depp’s legal team announced that they would also appeal her countersuit verdict. Judge Penney Azcarate denied Heard’s request for a mistrial.
