Johnny Depp’s words at the MTV VMAs
“I just want you to know that I’m available for birthdays, bat mitzvahs, weddings, wakes or whatever you need,” Depp said. “You know what, I needed the job.”
After the words, the actor famous for his portrayal of Jack Sparrow in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” film series, received a standing ovation with applause from all those present at the aforementioned ceremony.

Reactions to Johnny Depp’s reappearance
The reactions on social networks to Depp’s appearance were diverse, however, there are those who took it in a bad way, because they consider the actor as an image of male domestic abuse, because despite his legal victory against Heard, he was found guilty of 12 counts of this behavior after a lawsuit that the protagonist of “Pirates of the Caribbean” filed against “The Sun” for labeling him as a “wife beater”.
